This month at YMT, we’re pleased to be welcoming Tim Alford. Tim heads up LIMITLESS, the youth ministry of Elim Pentecostal churches in the UK and Ireland, and the LIMITLESS summer festival.

This month’s topic is another massive one for anyone working with young people; Pornography & Desire. Dave Austin (Chief Executive of BBFC) said “pornography is currently one click away for children of all ages in the UK” and when you consider that an estimated 93% of boys have seen pornography by the age of 18 it is a topic we can’t afford to ignore. Pornography is playing a significant role in educating this generation about sex. Nor is this a ‘male only’ problem; 1 in 3 visitors to porn sites are females.

Tim is a fantastic guide to help us reflect on the impact this damaging material is having, and how it redirects our God-given desire in destructive directions. He’ll also offer us some hopeful ways to have this conversation and to offer a better story about relationships and sex. On top of all that Tim has done the hard work of writing a session that you can deliver to your youth group, as usual you’ll get your copy on the night.
