Christian women and porn are two concepts that don’t seem to go together, right? However, I know what it feels like to be caught in the trap of pornography as a Christian woman. Yes, I have struggled with pornography. It is not something that I am proud of, and to be honest, it is something that I wish never happened, but God is using this dark season from my past for His good.
You see, I travel and speak across the United States to both teens and adults. Once God prompted me to start sharing my testimony of how He freed me from the grips of pornography, teen girls and women began to confide in me their struggles with pornography.
You Are Not Alone If You Struggle with Porn
In fact, pornography is a fast growing problem, even among Christian women. Our goal is to offer hope and resources to help you overcome this trap of the enemy.
Pornography is something that many women are addicted to but not talking about, especially in the church. It is impacting families and marriages and controlling many peoples’ lives. For many people, myself included at one time, all they can think about is the next time they will be able to access their computer or the next thrill they will get.
Some get hooked innocently through another person showing it to them or through an ad while surfing the Internet. Others are bored and get drawn into chat rooms or webcams that eventually lead them down the path of getting trapped into a pornography addiction.
Although men are the ones typically drawn to porn due to their visual nature, women are also getting hooked. Even Christian women in good marriages, who are active in ministry, are getting trapped into this sin.
My co-author, S’ambrosia Curtis and I pray that if you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction to pornography, you will find hope and help within this website and our book, “Christian Woman’s Guide to Breaking Free From Pornography.” Ultimately, our hope comes from Jesus Christ, but it also comes from knowing we are not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Freedom from pornography is possible!
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Wow! Shelley, I congratulate you for this brave move. You are tackling an issue that we “the church” do not want to talk about.
I congratulate you too, Shelley, and it’s the “dark seasons” and our times in the “valleys” which frequently enable us to be of the most help to others! You’re using yours well!
Thank you for the opportunity to read your ebook free. Just finished reading it today, great read! Everything you wrote about was right on, the resources right on the money. Appreciate the time you took to put your thoughts and suggestions to print. I have already done several of your suggestions, so it’s great to see I’m on the right track.
I am a 32 year old Christian woman, who has struggled with pornography since I was 8. Today I am 160 days sober.
I refuse to go another decade in this crap!
Appreciate another Christian speaking out about this topic offering hope and leading the way!! May God bless you and keep you standing strong and firm in Him.
Thank you for leading by example to live in purity!

AmyChristine,
Thank you so much for your encouragement and for taking the time to read our book. We pray that your 160 sober turns into many many more!

Thank you for this. Most organizations that deal with breaking porn addiction focus only on the men. Or they only speak of women as codependents of addicted men. It is very alienating to the women who are hooked. I have been struggling for years & it has hurt my ministry & my marriage. Porn definitely leads to more serious issues & I have fallen to temptation far too many times. I will defeat this addiction. & it will be because women like you have been unafraid to cone forward & let me know I’m not alone.
Nikki,
Thank you so much for sharing your struggle and for the encouragement. It has not been easy writing this book and speaking out on this topic but it is so worth it to help women like you. I just said a prayer for you and pray that God brings complete victory, healing and freedom in your life!
I got to your site via an email link to the She’s Somebody’s Daughter site.
I applaud you and your ministry. I have been a Christian for over 40 years, active in church leadership and teaching. Pornography had never been an issue for me until I sought to assess it’s accessibility to my children via the internet. I was trapped for 15 years. When discovered, it very nearly ended our 40+ year marriage. Rescued by God’s Grace, I am 3 year sober and active in a Celebrate Recovery ministry.
While men are the largest client of pornography and suffer guilt & isolation because of it, many women have a great battle with it too.
God’s Grace is the answer!
I need to add that individuals involved with another who is addicted to porn need help in dealing with this problem too. Where can anyone turn to get support when their spouse has a problem with pornography. This is a whole field of ministry that needs to be addressed by the body of Christ.
Thanks for sharing Mike! I do know that http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com offers help and ministry to spouses as well.
Hi. I am a young lady from South Africa who found your website via your youtube video post. I just want to thank you for sharing your testimony. I too have been struggling with porn and masturbation for the last few decades and have been trying to get free for a long time. It feels like such a stumbling block in my spiritual walk. I have alot of people that speak to me about their issues and depend on me for advice so its really hard to ‘come-out’ with my problem especially since many see me as a pillar. I have confessed many times to God but I feel like even God is tired of me now. I have recently started on my ‘journey to healing’. I am reading your book and pray with all my heart that this be my turning point because even though no one knows, i feel like I have disappointing many.
Thank you Shelly, you have no idea how much hope you have given me.
You’re welcome Penny! I’m thankful you found the video, our site and now our book. I pray Christ truly brings healing and freedom in your life!
