The Secret Struggle: Why Pastors Are Afraid to Talk About Sexuality
What happens when the church stays silent about pornography, sexual brokenness, shame, and identity struggles?
In this powerful Covenant Eyes Podcast episode recorded live at NRB 2026 in Nashville, Rob Stoddard sits down with Garry Ingraham, pastor and founder of Love and Truth Network, to discuss pornography addiction, same-sex attraction, healing from trauma, spiritual warfare, and how churches can become safe places for restoration.
Garry shares his deeply personal testimony of early exposure to pornography, years of struggle, leaving the faith, entering the LGBT lifestyle, and ultimately finding freedom and healing through Jesus Christ and authentic Christian community.
This conversation also tackles:
• Porn addiction in the church
