Corn Is Becoming A Serious Problem For Christian Men
How serious is the porn problem among Christian men?
Serious enough that reports say 68% of men who attend church struggle with porn and over half of pastors admit to a porn problem. Men hide it, use it secretly at night, and feel too ashamed to speak up, and the church's silence keeps them isolated. Sermons go unpreached and recovery groups go unoffered. The problem will not shrink on its own, and no man breaks free alone.
The United Nations Commission on Addictions has announced that the growth of corn use and addiction cases has reached epidemic levels. Efforts to increase public awareness of this devastating problem are being launched.
“The current corn epidemic is very troubling in so many ways,” said Dr. Alvin Romero, the chairman of the U.N. commission. “We are seeing individual lives, families, and communities facing severe impacts from the rampage of corn.”
Dr. Romero explained that the roots of the current crisis go back many decades. For years corn use was considered harmless. But modern society has made corn so much easier to obtain.
“Corn is now available in so many forms,” said Dr. Theodore Nibbletts, a Corn Addiction Counselor. “Anybody – even children – can simply go into a store and grab a can of sweet corn, cream of corn, corn on the cob, corn chowder, corn nuggets, cornbread, and so much more. It’s everywhere. You can’t seem to avoid it!”
Highly concentrated corn is now being put into other foods and drinks in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. People are becoming hooked before they are even aware they are consuming it.
Corn Producers have even created candy corn to target children.
Frighteningly, Dr. Romero noted that even children as young as 11 years-old have easy access to corn and begin forming dangerous corn habits.
Part of the growth in corn is the constant bombardment that the public faces from corn producers. Major companies glut the market with their corn harvests and tease people into buying their products. America is by far the largest corn producing country in the world.
Can You Really Get Addicted To Corn
Most people consider corn to be harmless and even enjoyable. Sadly, many men have found that constantly craving corn is no laughing matter.

Men who are addicted to corn simply feel helpless in giving up their extreme desire for corn. They usually have a stash of corn that nobody knows about, even their wives. They feel shame and embarrassment that they cannot control their constant need for corn.
Dr. Nibbletts said that these men feel isolated from family and friends. They use their corn secretly, often at night. Some access corn even at work, risking their jobs if discovered.
Corn addicts admit that their corn viewing cuts into their time with their wives and children and creates guilt in their minds. They fear if anyone finds out, their families could be ruined. Statistics prove their fears to be correct.

But corn is one of the topics that seem to be taboo in the church. No church wants to believe any of its men are secretly struggling with corn, creating a stigma that adds to the problem.
Because it is so rarely discussed, men who battle corn withdraw even more into their isolated worlds. Not only do they try to maintain their ‘good man’ image for society, but they must also battle to maintain a Christian image at church.

Dr. Nibbletts said, “Corn addicts who attend church really face a gut-wrenching struggle. Although they are ashamed, embarrassed, and feel guilty about their corn use, they think there is nobody they can turn to, even at church. Unfortunately, too often they are right.”
Corn Will Not Just Go Away
The vast amount and availability of corn will continue to rise. The corn industry has created such a massive global demand for its products that trying to pretend it is not a crisis is foolish.
Too much money is at stake, and corn producers will not let their wallets be affected. They are even expanding their offerings into virtual corn products. Dr. Romero stated that new emerging technologies will make the corn market explode.

Corn can seem so harmless to most people. But to any man who has to fight corn every day to try to keep his family, job, and relationships intact, corn is a devastating reality.

Meanwhile, the Church remains silent. Sermons on sexual issues are not preached, recovery groups are not offered, and even many pastors are too involved in porn themselves to provide guidance.
It’s time for the church to act – now. The types and amount of porn are gaining a foothold in your church. It’s no laughing matter.

How many pastors struggle with porn?
Reports put it at more than half. Over fifty percent of pastors admit to having a porn problem of their own, which is part of why so many churches never address it from the platform. A man cannot easily preach into a battle he is silently losing. That is not a reason to write pastors off. It is a reason to make sure they have somewhere to go too.
Why does the church stay silent about porn?
Because it is treated as taboo. No church wants to believe its men are secretly struggling, so a stigma forms and the subject stays off the platform. The silence does not make the problem smaller. It makes men withdraw further, because now they are managing two images at once, the good man for society and the good Christian for Sunday.
Why do men hide porn use from their wives?
Shame, mostly. A man caught in porn usually has a stash nobody knows about, uses it secretly at night, and cannot control a craving he is embarrassed to admit. He knows it is cutting into time with his wife and kids, and he fears that if anyone found out his family would be ruined. So he stays quiet, and the isolation feeds the very thing he is hiding.
How can my church start addressing porn?
Put something in front of the men rather than waiting for them to raise their hands. Church leaders can present the Conquer Series videos to a small group or to the whole congregation, which takes the burden of the first move off the men who are struggling. It is a ten-week study already used by millions of men in more than a hundred countries.
What help is there for a man who wants to be free from porn?
More than you think, and none of it requires you to fix yourself first. The Conquer Series walks men through engaging lessons, honest testimonies, and solid biblical teaching, with an interactive study guide and online journal so the lessons stay in front of you daily. Many churches now run a Conquer Group. You can also get digital access on your own at SoulRefiner.com.
