She is also the lead author of Exodus Cry’s Intervention Manual, which has trained hundreds of teams and churches in how to support and reach those trapped in sexual exploitation.In this episode, Helen shares:Why the porn industry’s model is inherently exploitative — not empoweringThe false language of “choice” and how it masks coercion and abuseHow porn normalizes violence and shapes cultural attitudes toward womenWhat she saw at a major porn industry conference — and why it was chillingWhy tech platforms and porn giants profit from trafficking and non-consensual contentThe emotional cost of doing outreach — and the hope she’s witnessed firsthandWhat it means to fight for justice and real sexual freedom in a pornified world📍 Most shocking moment? Helen describes the atmosphere inside a porn expo: “Men were laughing at abuse. No one questioned it. The industry’s public image is a lie — and I saw it up close.”“Real empowerment isn’t being consumed. It’s being seen, protected, and loved.”👇 Share your thoughts below:What did you learn from Helen’s story? Can porn be ethical?
