Clearing Your Teen’s P*rn Cobwebs

Pornography isn’t just a ‘bad habit.’ It’s a digital siege on the adolescent mind—a flood of 'mental cobwebs' that tangles up their identity, stunts their emotional growth, and creates a thick barrier between their soul and the Holy Spirit. For the dad standing on watch, the goal isn't just to 'stop the behavior.' The goal is to clear the path so that deep, inner restoration can actually begin.But how do you lead a son or daughter out of that darkness without crushing them with shame? How do you move past the 'filters' and the 'software' to reach the heart? You have to move from being the 'Prosecutor' to being the 'Architect of Recovery.'Chris Rogers is the founder of Rebooted Teen. Chris is a coach who specializes in helping teens break the loop of digital addiction and reclaim their mental and spiritual clarity. He’s here to show us how a father can help his teen 'reboot' their mind and clear those cobwebs so the Holy Spirit can do the transformative inner work they desperately need.To connect with Chris, learn more or start your teen on the path to recovery, visit: https://www.rebootedteen.com/To be a guest on The Fatherhood Challenge visit: https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/thefatherhoodchallengeCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrhttps://zencastr.com/?via=thefatherhoodchallenge00:05.34Jonathan GuerreroAs fathers, we are called to be sentinels of our home.
