Ore Oduba’s Honesty Spurs Church Action
Faith Facts
- Ore Oduba, a public figure, revealed his decades-long struggle with pornography, underscoring the need for greater transparency within the Church.
- Barna Group statistics show 75% of Christian men and 40% of Christian women view pornography, yet 82% say they do not receive help.
- Early exposure is widespread, with 70% of young people in England seeing pornography before age 18, highlighting the urgency for faithful discipleship on sexuality.
Ore Oduba’s willingness to share his struggles offers a powerful example of vulnerability in the body of Christ. His story challenges the Church to create safer spaces for honest conversations and genuine support.
When Christians remain silent about battles with sin, shame can take root, isolating believers and hindering spiritual growth. Biblical teaching calls us to address these realities openly, guiding hearts toward healing in Christ.
“I never imagined I would ever share this with anyone,” Ore confessed.
Research affirms that many believers face this issue, yet too few receive support or pastoral care. The Church must lead conversations that affirm God’s design for sexuality and offer grace for those in struggle.
Young people need to hear that their worth and identity are found in God’s truth, not in the distortions of culture. Discipleship involves helping them embrace biblical values and guard their hearts in a digital age.
The Church, supported by ministries like Naked Truth Project, can provide practical resources, accountability, and compassionate guidance to those seeking freedom.
By fostering honesty and accountability, Christian communities help believers walk in hope and restoration.
Now is the moment for churches to disciple with grace, truth, and courage, building up individuals and families for generational impact. Let’s promote Christ-centered change and support one another in both honesty and holiness.
