Quick Answer

Can watching porn affect my kids and grandkids?

Yes. The effects of porn use reach your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren long after you are gone, which is why this is not a private matter. Dr. Doug Weiss, psychologist, marriage counselor, and expert contributor to the Conquer Series, explains how it happens in an episode of CBN's Showcase. The cycle can be broken, and the victory passed on to the generations behind you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Conquer Series?

It is a cinematic small group study that helps men find lasting freedom from pornography. The lives of millions of men in more than 100 countries have been touched by it. It works as a church small group study and can also be purchased on its own, so a man does not have to wait for his church to schedule something before he starts.

Can I do the Conquer Series on my own?

Yes. The series is designed for church small group study, and it can also be purchased and worked through individually. Men generally go further and last longer when they do it alongside others, because isolation is what the struggle feeds on, but starting alone is far better than waiting indefinitely for a group to appear.

Was the Conquer Series featured on CBN?

Yes. An episode of CBN's Showcase covered how porn use reaches a man's children and grandchildren, and caught up with a psychologist and marriage counsellor who contributed expertise to the Conquer Series. It is a short, accessible introduction to the generational argument that sits behind the whole study.

How do you break a generational cycle of porn?

By refusing to hand it on and getting into a real process yourself. The Conquer Series exists so a man can break the cycle in his own life and pass victory, rather than bondage, to the generations behind him. Nothing about that is instant, but it is genuinely possible, and the man who does it changes a family line.

How do I start the Conquer Series?

Digital access is the fastest way in; you can get it through Soul Refiner and begin straight away. From there, the strongest next step is pulling two or three other men into it with you so the study becomes a Conquer Group rather than a video you watched alone. Freedom is built in community, over time.
