Spiritual roots of self‑abuse

Struggling to overcome porn or battling lust? In this powerful Orthodox Christian teaching, Fr. Peter Heers exposes the spiritual roots of pornography and masturbation, revealing how these grave passions enslave the soul and separate us from God.

Drawing on Holy Scripture, the Church Fathers (especially St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain) and Orthodox canon law, he explains how to stop porn addiction through repentance, obedience, fasting, prayer, and humility. This is a must-watch for anyone struggling with these passions or seeking to help others overcome them in Christ through the healing medicine of the Orthodox Church.
