Summary

How do you find a way forward when shame from sexual abuse threatens to keep you stuck? What do you do with pornography and sexual addiction when they’re intertwined with the wounds you’ve carried for years?For podcast host and entrepreneur Ken Freire, finding freedom from pornography and the lingering shame of childhood sexual abuse was anything but easy. The road was marked by isolation, secrecy, and deep internal struggle. But as Ken began to experience real healing, his pain was transformed into purpose. Today, he helps others navigate addiction, suffering, and restoration by sharing the stories of men who have found freedom on his podcast called Shame(less).In this conversation, Davey sits down with Ken to talk about the isolation that often follows abuse and addiction, how to confront the shame surrounding pornography, and what it truly means to apply the gospel to our stories of brokenness.If you’ve ever felt bound by the pain of your past, this episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is possible, shame does not get the final word, and you can step into a life marked by healing and hope.
