In this pastoral response, Pastor Mike addresses a difficult and sensitive concern from a mother whose teenage daughter heard at youth camp that “every guy—even married men—struggles with pornography.” Pastor Mike brings biblical balance and realism to the discussion, explaining that while not every man is enslaved to pornography, men and women are wired differently and face different patterns of temptation. He emphasizes that Scripture openly acknowledges these struggles—especially in books like Proverbs—without excusing sin or fostering despair. This teaching helps parents, pastors, and youth leaders think more carefully about how sexual temptation is taught, encouraging honesty without hopelessness, responsibility without accusation, and wisdom without fear.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
