Jeremy Rohr Season 2 Episode 17

What happens when a father confronts his own struggles with pornography while trying to guide his sons toward purity and freedom?

In this episode, we dive deep into one dad’s journey from secrecy and shame to openness, faith, and honest conversations that transform his family.

Jeremy talks with his longtime friend Jim Thorp, a husband, father of five, and faithful Catholic, about one of the most challenging yet critical topics parents face today: how to talk to your kids about pornography, sexuality, and faith.

Jim shares his personal story of wrestling with pornography for over a decade—and howbreaking free allowed him to become the father his sons needed.

With honesty and practical wisdom, Jim explains how he approached difficult conversations, taught his sons to resist temptation, and created an environment of trust, faith, and accountability.

You’ll learn:

  • Why early, honest conversations matter more than you think
  • How to create a shame-free space for your kids to open up about struggles
  • The role of faith, confession, and accountability in breaking free from pornography
  • Practical tips for using technology wisely without relying on it as the only solution
  • How fathers can lead with courage, even if they’re still working through their own battles
