I think we in the church we spent a good deal of time talking about lust in terms of pornography, right?

And kind of a physical lust.

But how often have we talked about emotional lust?

That's a very, to me, that's a novel kind of concept to explore.

And just in our talking about this over coffee, you and I, I feel like there's just so much to be examined there.

So much that can point us to kind of our need for the gospel to shine its bright light in those kind of dim areas of our hearts and of our minds.

Yeah, there's places that it's easy to gloss over some of these.

They might look like pebbles, but the more you examine them, you realize they're, they're sharp rocks ready to just destroy you.

Yeah, wow.

Yeah, so today we're tackling the topic of emotional lust and namely escapism, right?

And how we escape kind of our reality and what the implications of that for how we come back to our reality.

So it should be a good conversation.

And we'll see you on the other side.

Welcome to the fierce marriage podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce to an acidity that never gives up and refuses to give in.

Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage, sex, communication, finance, priorities, purpose, and everything in between.

Last honor and joining on Candid Gospel Center conversations.

This is fierce marriage.

So this topic actually came to us through one of our amazing patrons.

So Sierra, thank you for asking this question.

It actually stirred a lot of conversation in our hearts.

You've actually asked it almost a month ago.

I thought it was longer than that.
