Modern slavery doesn’t start in the shadows. It starts with demand.
And the darkest injustices in our world are often hidden behind the things that we tolerate.

Today we talk with Lance Cashion, founder of the Forge Room Foundation, about the connection between pornography, commercial sexual exploitation, and sex trafficking. We dig into the worldview behind these evils and how when sex is detached from God’s design and people are reduced to objects, exploitation follows. But this issue isn’t just “out there.” Porn use inside the church almost mirrors the culture, including among leaders, yet few churches offer pathways to healing. How can the Church confront exploitation without addressing what’s happening within? We discuss real solutions: biblical clarity without shame, repentance with structure, and pathways to restoration. We also cover prevention, including the role of early literacy in reducing vulnerability, and close with practical guidance for parents on preparing their kids and creating a culture of honesty without shame.
