From Porn & Pain to Purpose in Christ

What happens when a fatherless boy meets pornography at eight years old, grows up angry, addicted, and suicidal—then hears a stranger say, “The heavens are open over you, God has called you to ministry”?

In this vulnerable conversation, Seth Watkins shares his journey from fatherlessness, porn addiction, and depression to freedom in Jesus, healing from abandonment, and a new legacy as a husband, soon-to-be dad, and minister of the gospel.

You’ll hear about:

• Growing up without a dad and feeling like “a menace to society”
• How early porn exposure created cycles of shame, lust, and loneliness
• Homelessness, anger, and the social anxiety porn produced in his life
• The rock-bottom moment when he considered ending it all
• The phone call and church encounter that literally saved his life
• How a prophetic word unlocked his calling into ministry
• Practical tools Seth still uses: accountability, software, community, and counseling
• How he plans to father differently and break generational curses
