In today’s episode of the Free From Porn podcast, Richard and Justin confront one of the most common—but unbiblical—prayers we hear from men in our coaching program:

"God, take away my sexual desires."

But what if that’s not the problem?

What if your sexual desire isn’t a curse to be removed—but a gift to be redeemed?

We talk about:

• Why numbing your desires leads to spiritual and emotional dysfunction
• How Jesus models what it means to feel deeply (without being ruled by feelings)
• Why real freedom doesn’t mean shutting down your sex drive—but learning to steward it in righteousness
• The trap of Christianized stoicism and the myth of “robotic holiness”
• How to stop seeing your sexuality as dirty and start thanking God for it

If you’ve ever begged God to just make it all go away, this one’s for you.

Ever fallen once… and then gone all in on failure?

In this hilarious yet deeply honest episode, Richard and Justin unpack the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many stuck in cycles of porn, shame, and self-condemnation. What starts with a lactose pill and ends with a binge becomes the perfect metaphor for how guilt drives us deeper into the very thing we want freedom from.

You’ll learn:
– Why “one slip” doesn’t mean you’re out of Christ
– How guilt and shame fuel binging behavior
– The difference between falling in Christ vs falling out of covenant
– Why God’s mercy isn’t on a 24-hour countdown timer
– And how to get back up without starting over

This one’s funny, raw, and full of gospel truth. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your way back to God, this episode will set you free.

A lot of guys believe the lie: “Once I get married and can have sex, I won’t struggle with porn anymore.” But here’s the hard truth—we’re not trying to be clickbaity… marriage might actually make your porn habit worse.

In this episode, Justin and Richard unpack why marriage and sex were never meant to be the solution to your struggle with lust. We talk through the deep-rooted misunderstandings many Christian men have, the biblical truth about freedom, and why Jesus—not your future spouse—is the one who sets you free.

We explore:
– Why sex doesn’t heal what only Jesus can redeem
– How Romans 7 and 8 reveal the real path to freedom
– Why your problem isn’t a lack of sex—it’s a lack of belief
– What it means to walk in righteousness as a new creation
– How to stop waiting for external fixes and start living free today

This one might feel like the rug gets pulled out from under you. But trust us—on the other side is solid ground.

Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for you.
