Jimmy Needham on Porn Addiction [Video Interview]

Last Updated: March 26, 2024

“I wasn’t raised in a Christian home. We were religious at best. I didn’t learn about sex from my parents, that’s for sure. I was first exposed to the idea of it in fourth grade, which is tragic. I was 9 years old. All of my friends were always older than me. They invited me over one day and said, “Hey, we’ve got something we want to show you.”

Listen as Christian musician, Jimmy Needham, shares his story of porn addiction and redemption in this video.

Hear more from Jimmy on his website or read his guest post “Before and After: Finding Freedom From Porn Addiction” on our blog.

    I bet that Jimmy is talking important things here, but…
    I just can´t concentrate on what Jimmy is sharing, because there that rhodes music going! Not a good thing for a fellow musician. As a musician I unconsciously focus on the music. My own problem I know.
