Freedom From the P-word TRB# 25 Breanna Arango
Manage episode 502965296 series 3642289
Pornography addiction among Christian women remains one of the most hidden yet prevalent struggles in our churches today. In this vulnerable conversation, Brianna Arango breaks the silence by sharing her journey from secret addiction to complete freedom.
Brianna's story begins with accidental exposure to pornography at just seven years old, creating neural pathways she would return to as a teenager during times of emotional distress. Despite being actively involved in her church—playing in the praise team and attending regularly—she maintained a secret addiction that created significant spiritual separation. What makes her testimony particularly powerful is her insight that despite repeatedly asking God to take away her addiction, she wasn't truly surrendering it: "I realized I wasn't letting it go... it was just such a security that I couldn't let go."
The conversation takes a surprising turn when Brianna reveals the critical moment that gave her hope—overhearing a friend mention someone who had overcome pornography addiction. This simple revelation that she wasn't alone gave her the courage to confide in someone. Through accountability, practical safeguards, and immersion in Scripture, she began her eight-month journey toward freedom.
