It Might Not Be Punishment

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0400

Spiritual Warfare Around Pornography

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0400

A lack of emotional submission to the Father can actually leave us vulnerable to the temptation of lust, specifically in pornography.

Drew and Kelsea spend time discussing why living fully surrendered to God matters in our fight against sin. In fighting pornography, lines of defense, like accountability partners, porn-blocking apps, and removing phone access are all beneficial, AND we must also guard our emotions from the enemy.

We discuss Psalm 1:1-3, sharing it's impact in our lives and encouraging others in their personal walks with Jesus from this place. This conversation is by no means a comprehensive breakdown of Psalm 1. With Jesus, there's always more! We hope what little we included can be beneficial for building you up. "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers."
