The issue of pornography and sexual addiction is a rapidly growing problem in the United States. In fact, 16 states have declared pornography a public health crisis. Pornography is destroying marriages, with 56% of divorces revealing it as the root or contributing cause. Our youth are being seduced younger and younger, with the most recent statistic revealing the average age of first exposure is nine years old. Not to mention pornography and sex addiction are also a major contributing factor to the demand for sex trafficking. The impact on our culture and society is undeniable.
Road to Purity was founded in 2015 by Dann Aungst as an answer to God’s call to share his story of recovery from sex addiction and to help others find freedom and healing. Now a Certified Addiction Counselor, speaker, and author, Dann has formed Road to Purity, an organization with uniquely insightful programs to offer the most comprehensive approach to overcoming this destructive cycle.
