This episode’s devotional takes a different turn. Today we’re identifying a common and destructive threat facing first responders and military personnel, a threat that attacks the mind, erodes relationships, steals joy, and numbs the heart: pornography. This isn’t about awkward conversations; it’s about spiritual warfare and understanding an enemy that thrives in silence and secrecy. Just as we study criminal trends or tactical threats to stay alive on the job, we must also recognize the patterns, vulnerabilities, and pathways through which pornography becomes a coping mechanism, and a form of bondage. This conversation is necessary, and it’s meant to equip you with clarity, hope, and a path toward freedom.
