Porn Nation Canada

Porn Nation is an 80 minute, multimedia-based live speaker presentation addressing every student's need for love, acceptance and genuine relationships. The presentation creates an intriguing, non-judgmental picture of the present day culture. Perhaps the greatest power of Porn Nation is in its authenticity and vulnerability. In an increasingly hypersexual culture, porn is a big business. The pornography industry nets over $57 billion in annual sales worldwide. Cable companies brought in a revenue of $177 million from sexually explicit pay-per-view programming.

Perhaps it's time to ask, are we becoming a Porn Nation?


This is the question we are asking university students across North America through our Porn Nation outreaches. Over this past year we (Campus for Christ Canada) hosted Micheal Leahy and Porn Nation at 6 of our Canadian Campuses. We have had a very good response to all of our outreaches bring the Gospel to students through this very engaging and relevant presentation.

I had the privilege of creating a video series as a follow up tool for the outreaches. Brent (University of Saskatchewan C4C staff) and I went to Chicago for a weekend to interview Micheal Laehy and ask some very engaging questions with the goal to harness the popularity of Youtube and the controversial topic of Pornography.

Micheal's Story is truly heartbreaking as he shares about the effect that Pornography had on him and how it cost him his marriage and family. Micheal story doesn't stop with his broken marriage, during a time of going through sexual addiction recovery he heard the Gospel and became a Christian. God then started to reveal his will to him challenging Michael to share his story of sin and redemption to university students around the world.

You can find our Youtube channel for Porn Nation here. I should let you know that Michael does a great job of answering very thought provoking questions on the topic of sex and sexual addiction but some conservative viewers may find it challenging because of the frank sexual nature of the discussion. Also I have strategically tagged the videos with a description that will come up in search engines for those who are looking for the material that I am trying to warn them against. I would strongly suggest only watching the videos that I have produced the user name "pncanada" as you may be offended by some of the videos that will appear beside my videos as they also deal with sexuality in provocative way. Please remember that this outreach and these videos are created for front line evangelism and not for conservative Christians.

I would love to know what you think. Please leave us you feedback on the videos here or (click below on comments) or on the youtube channel.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership.

God Bless you,

Gary

The best way to prevent being led astray by pornography is through honesty and transparent with your life and online veiwing. Openness and honesty is the best way to fight temptation.
