Eric Hovind
Eric Hovind, the president of Creation Today, is known for his exceptional skill in defending the Christian faith and the authority of the Bible. However, in a recent video, he shared about his struggle with pornography, a secret sin he battled with for years:
Eric grew up in a devout Christian family where his father was a pastor. He was exposed to pornography as early as fifth grade, but he kept it hidden for years, living a double life. In the video, Eric speaks candidly about the issue and how it affects many men in the church:
“When you look at statistics and you see that 70% of men who claim to be Christians are actively viewing pornography, 50% of pastors that are pastoring churches right now are viewing pornography. Well, no wonder the church is in the state that it’s in. We can’t even be honest as men.”

Victory through the power of the Holy Spirit
Eric emphasizes that this issue is not just about pornography, but it is a battle for our minds. Satan starts with our minds, and he wants to deceive us. However, Eric found victory through the power of the Holy Spirit:
“God has allowed me through the power of His Holy Spirit to conquer sin just like He did, and I get to live and serve Christ now. If you’ll get in the light and remain in the light, then you will be His disciple, then you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free.”
Eric’s transparency about his struggle with pornography is not only refreshing but also necessary in today’s culture. His testimony serves as a reminder that Christians are not immune to the struggles of this world, but through Christ, we can overcome them.
As an expert in Christian apologetics, Eric has debated with leading evolutionists and has consistently defended the literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account. His ministry, Creation Today, aims to equip Christians with the tools they need to defend their faith and uphold the authority of the Bible.
