Summary

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews John-Michael Bout, executive director of Into the Light Ministries and father of three. Drawing from his personal journey of addiction that began at age eight and his eventual freedom through accountability and community, John-Michael shares powerful insights about equipping families to navigate biblical sexuality in an increasingly explicit digital world. His ministry creates free resources that help parents protect their children while training them to develop spiritual integrity and discernment.

In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:

  • Why the average age of pornography exposure is now eight years old and what parents can do about it
  • How pornography addiction is increasingly affecting women and the unique shame they experience
  • The importance of focusing on God's beautiful design for sexuality rather than just prohibitions
  • Practical strategies for having age-appropriate conversations with children about sexuality
  • Why simply protecting children isn't enough—they need training to navigate temptation
  • How the porn industry actively targets children and the tactics they use to create early exposure
  • The vital difference between protecting our children and preparing them for adulthood
  • Why technology safeguards alone won't solve the problem of pornography
  • The power of community support in raising children with sexual integrity
  • Free resources available to help parents navigate these difficult conversations

Whether you're a parent concerned about protecting your children, a spouse supporting a partner through recovery, or someone personally struggling with pornography, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, practical tools, and hope for building a home of integrity and freedom.
