| WHAT: |
Most people would think that men are the sole consumers and viewers of porn. According to TripleXChurch, 30 percent of people that view porn online are women. Pastor and addiction expert Craig Gross seeks to raise awareness of this growing trend and help women who may be struggling with the temptations of pornography or battling an addiction.
This weekend at Destiny Church, Gross will be leading “Porn & Pastries,” a breakfast event for women that he regularly hosts at churches around the nation. Author Shellie R. Warren will also be speaking at the breakfast, sharing her story of childhood sexual abuse and promiscuity as an adult. Tickets are available for $8 at the door on a first-come, first-serve basis.
