You don't just randomly watch porn. There were silent triggers you never noticed — and they started with unmet needs you didn't even know you had. In this episode, we unpack three of the five God-designed needs that pornography quietly hijacks: connection, belonging, and purpose. If you've ever wondered why willpower alone never seems to work, this is where the real answers start. Buy Turn Off Porn on Amazon https://a.co/d/0dz0ZlS7

Pornography isn't a declaration of who you are — it's a symptom of what's missing. In this first episode of a special series, licensed counselor and author of "Turn Off Porn, Brian Bachman explores why the church's go-to advice — pray more, read more, try harder — hasn't been working for most people. He unpacks how 200 years of cultural shifts have left us disconnected from purpose, community, and the rhythms God designed us for, creating the exact conditions where addiction thrives. This isn't shame. This is honesty. And it's where real recovery starts.

Today I have a conversation with Brett Vaden, an author and associate pastor at The Journey West County. We explore what it means to have a true self and a false self and why it’s important. Who am I? How do I define myself? Why is it easier to be a pharisee than we think? What is the difference between being loved even though I am broken vs being loved for my brokenness?

Today’s episode we cover John 14:6-14 and discuss the high view of humanity that God has, his immeasurable kindness in that He wants to lift us up and make us more like him, how Jesus is the way, truth, and the life, and how that fact is still valuable 2000 years later!

It's easy to see God's law as frustrating or limiting.  It can be easy to see God as a cranky control freak instead of understanding the underneath human flourishing of many laws. Some laws we may not see the flourishing aspect, this side of heaven. We also dive into the incredible practical forgiveness that God calls us to - although it can be very offensive to our sinful nature.

Man, Christ is challenging. We want to hate our enemies - which sounds great, right? This is the contrast between the kingdom of heaven and sin. Our sin feels justified in hating our enemies but this is not the way of God. This is so challenging, convicting and yet to know Christ means we must ask the Holy Spirit to transform us. We are missing out on the glory and goodness of Christ if we don't understand these upside-down mysteries.  Recorded 2/17/23
