In this episode, Steve Wood reveals how many well-meaning Catholic porn-recovery approaches fall into a dangerous pseudo-spirituality that actually leads to deeper bondage. Using Colossians 2, he explains how “elemental spirits” (stoicheion) and human traditions can masquerade as virtue—especially when programs rely on extreme asceticism, guilt, and harsh self-discipline instead of the power of Christ.

Steve highlights the key passages in Colossians showing that Christ has already forgiven, freed, and triumphed over the spiritual powers. He stresses the crucial warning of Colossians 2:23: severe practices may look wise, but they have no value in overcoming the flesh.

If you or someone you love is seeking real freedom from pornography, this episode will help you discern between programs rooted in Christ’s strength and those that rely on human effort alone.

Listen now to rediscover Christ-centered freedom—and to break from the deceptive spiritual practices that keep so many Catholics stuck in cycles of defeat.
