On today’s program, our guest is Matt Dobschuetz, host of Porn Free Radio podcast and author of the book Porn Free: Becoming the Type of Man Who Does Not Look at Porn. Our conversation focuses on the topics and insights Matt highlights throughout his book.
Matt shares his journey of eventually becoming porn free (he hasn’t viewed porn since 2011), the impact of loneliness in wanting to pursue porn, why “hating porn” isn’t the answer, and how to become curious about the underlying problems of porn use so that you can shift your paradigm.
If you are a man (or love a man) who is struggling to overcome the stronghold of porn, Matt has a practical message of hope and freedom for you.

In today’s episode, Stephen brings some wisdom to us from a man who has been on a journey of sexual wholeness for a while. What can we learn from an older saint in the faith? What is the value of pursuing faithfulness and continuing to fight for purity and holiness over a lifetime?
Our hope by sharing these nuggets of wisdom is that you might be inspired to keep going on your own pursuit of sexual wholeness – and recognize that what you learn along the way will have value to others on a similar journey.

In today’s episode, we unpack the visual nature of men. Like it or not, believe it or not, there are differences between males and females. Male brains are physically different from female brains. But this isn’t a science program. We want to focus on just one primary difference: men are hardwired with more capacity for visual processing than women.
But what does this mean and what are we to do about it? Listen in as we unpack how to understand the visual nature of men and how men can steward this reality in a God-honoring way.
Much of this conversation was born out of Shaunti Feldhahn’s book, Through a Man’s Eyes. You can get her book on Amazon.com or any other book distributor.

In today’s episode, we talk about pain. We know this isn’t a topic most of us like to talk about, but all of us will face pain of various kinds throughout life; physical, emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual.
What if one day your life changed fundamentally because of pain? How well would you respond? What does pain reveal about our emotional health and maturity?
Join us as we explore how to respond to pain with endurance and learn to “suffer well.” There can still be hope and even joy and gratitude in the midst of great pain.
