Summary

Christian guys make up the majority of my audience and Christians have some compelling reasons to want to eliminate porn from their lives. It's in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus.

In Jesus' most famous sermon he said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Jesus equates this act of looking at a women with lustful intent as being the same as breaking the 7th commandment, "You shall not commit adultery."

But knowing what’s right and doing something about are two different things.

Christian guys bring some strengths to our porn free community and also some blind spots. I cover them both here and have some advice for taking action.

0:00.0	Porn Free Radio, Episode 34. Hope for the porn addicted Christian.
0:08.9	Welcome to Porn Free Radio. This is the podcast where motivated guys who want to quit looking at
0:15.0	porn, get hope, and take action. Even if you feel lost right now or out of control,
0:25.9	you can recover and live a meaningful life, free from shame and full of love.
0:31.7	Now here's your host, recovered porn addict and podcaster Matt Dobschutes.
0:41.2	Hey, welcome back to porn free radio. This is the podcast for guys who want to live 100% porn-free.
0:46.5	In this episode, I'll be talking about hope for the porn-addicted Christian.
0:54.2	I'll share some of the value you bring to our community and some of the blind spots you have in recovery.
0:57.9	Now, this is part two of two episodes.
1:05.9	Last week, I started this conversation around our addiction and spirituality. And so the first episode is episode 33.
1:09.8	It's the hope for the porn addicted agnostic.
1:13.4	Now, I value all different sorts of guys in our community and the different experiences you bring.
1:20.4	And so I wanted to share to these two different audiences, these guys coming from an agnostic or atheist background, a skeptic background,
1:29.7	and guys who come from a more religious background. Now, I come from a Christian background,
1:36.3	so I'm going to speak specifically to Christians who listen. But if you're religious and have another
1:42.8	belief system, there probably are some things that
1:46.2	would apply to you too. So before I get to that, I want to talk to you about Covenant Eyes again.
1:53.0	Now Covenant Eyes, I mentioned last week, is a filtering and accountability software.

2:06.8	component where you can protect everyone in your family and give everyone access to the filter
2:12.0	and then also do some basic tracking of sites that kids go to and things like that.
2:18.7	And the reason why I'm bringing this up is, you know, I think Covenant Eyes has a great
