0:00.0	You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 42, post-mission porn use.
0:06.7	Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, where we take a research-based,
0:12.5	trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.
0:17.5	This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of lives. I'm your
0:23.4	host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. I am so excited today to
0:33.1	talk to you about post-mission porn use or pornography use after a missionary experience. That's what I
0:41.2	mean when I say that. I worked with a lot of return missionaries before I got into just like
0:48.1	focusing specifically on pornography work. So return to missionaries, they have my heart. I love them so much. I got into coaching
0:56.0	because my experience after my missionary experience was really difficult. It was really hard for me to

1:40.6	even know what that means, that's okay. This will still really apply to you. So a lot of members of my church community, we serve 18 to two-year missions is what we call them.
1:49.5	It's kind of a big thing that we do, and it's a big sacrifice, and it's difficult to come home.
1:55.8	Like I mentioned, you know, you do proselyting work, and you do service work and just whatever else is needed out there, right?
2:05.6	So when I say return missionary, it's just that person who has gone and done that 18 month to two-year mission.
2:11.0	If this is you, if you are an RM, RM stands for Return Missionary.
2:15.6	If you are an RM who's struggling with this, please feel
