Luke Gilkerson of Covenant Eyes knows about secrecy. He has always liked to share with people about his struggles, but he found that he was always keeping a part of that back. He now understands the role secrecy plays in chains forged by pornography. Luke is now dedicated to help people bring the conversation about pornography out of the head and into the open. He does so through his work at Covenant Eyes, who created the internet accountability software that I use.

Like Luke, some may mention that they struggle to not look at pornography, but many also play games with those whom they talk to about it. They may act out and postpone confession in order to then be able to report that they’ve had some good sobriety, couching their confession a positive statement. This oft times becomes more about how good they look to others rather than honesty.

Luke brings up the 3 things that psychologist Al Cooper’s says drive the fascination people have with internet pornography: affordability, accessibility & anonymity. Luke also suggests that we’re meant to be around people with whom we can be transparent. Secrecy is the lifeblood of addiction I recently heard. Join Luke and I as he discusses the role that secrecy plays in a pornography addiction:
