    Why Christians Should Avoid Masturbation

    If I’m not convinced the Bible explicitly forbids every conceivable instance of masturbation, then why do I still encourage Christians to avoid it?That’s the question I answer in this episode.In Part 1, we explored what I believe Scripture does—and doesn’t—say about masturbation. In this episode, we move from theology to wisdom.After years of counseling men and women struggling with pornography and sexual addiction, I’ve become convinced that the better question isn’t simply:“Can I?”The better question is:“Will this help me become more like Christ?”In this episode, we discuss:• Why masturbation is often a search for relief—not just pleasure.• Why temporary relief is not the same as lasting healing.• Why behavior modification alone rarely leads to freedom.• The deeper issues that often drive unwanted sexual behaviors.• Why isolation keeps people stuck and community helps people heal.My goal isn’t to burden you with another rule.My goal is to help you experience the kind of freedom Christ offers—a freedom that transforms not only your behavior, but your heart.Join the CRUSH THE SHAME CHALLENGEhttps://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/crushtheshameGet my FREE Guide: 4 Pillars of a Porn Free Life ≥≥ https://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/freedom

    Is Masturbation a Sin?

    Is masturbation a sin? It’s one of the most common—and most debated—questions Christians ask. In this episode, I don’t simply give you my answer. I walk you through how I arrived at it. After years of counseling men and women struggling with pornography, masturbation, and sexual addiction, my thinking has been sharpened by Scripture, pastoral conversations, and real-life counseling experience. In this episode, I share the strongest biblical argument against masturbation that I’ve personally encountered, where I still have questions, and where I currently land today. Whether you ultimately agree with my conclusion or not, my hope is that this conversation helps you think carefully, pursue holiness, and honor Christ as you wrestle with one of Christianity’s most frequently asked questions. In this episode: Why faithful Christians disagree on this issue The strongest theological argument against masturbation I’ve encountered Where I still wrestle with the question My current position—and why Why this is only Part 1 of the conversation In Part 2, I’ll explain why I still encourage Christians to avoid masturbation, even though I remain unconvinced that Scripture requires me to declare every conceivable instance sinful.

    The Real Reason You Keep Watching Porn

    Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep going back to porn?” Most people answer that question by focusing on willpower, accountability, or trying harder. But what if you’re asking the wrong question? In this episode, I explain why pornography is often a symptom—not the root issue. I’ll show you what Jesus teaches about the heart, share part of my own recovery story, and give you a practical framework to begin understanding the deeper reasons behind your struggle. When you stop seeing pornography as the problem and start seeing it as a clue, everything begins to change. In this episode you’ll learn: • Why behavior always flows from the heart • Why pornography is often a symptom rather than the root problem • How your life story shapes your sexual story • The role shame, approval, rejection, and unmet longings can play in addiction • Practical first steps to begin understanding your own story If you’ve been asking, “Why can’t I stop?” this conversation may help you begin asking a much better question.

    Porn is Not Your Real Problem

    Most men think they have a porn problem.And while pornography may be the behavior they’re struggling with, the deeper issue often lies underneath the addiction itself.In this week’s teaching, we explore three hidden drivers that frequently fuel pornography and sexual addiction:• The need for approval• The need for comfort and relief• The need for controlFor many men, pornography isn’t simply about sex. It’s an attempt to meet a deeper need, soothe a deeper pain, or solve a deeper problem.That’s why willpower alone often fails.If you only fight the behavior without understanding what’s driving the behavior, you’ll continue fighting the same battle over and over again.Real freedom begins when we stop asking:“How do I stop watching porn?”And start asking:“What is porn doing for me?”What need am I trying to meet?What pain am I trying to avoid?What am I really seeking?If you’re ready to move beyond behavior management and begin uncovering the deeper causes of your addiction, this teaching is for you.If this video encouraged you, consider subscribing, sharing it with a friend, and leaving a comment below. I’d love to hear which of these three hidden drivers resonates most with your story.Remember:You’re not just fighting pornography.You’re fighting for freedom.And freedom is possible.

    What is Porn Addiction Costing You?

    When most people think about addiction, they think about the behavior.The porn.The acting out.The relapse.But what if the greatest cost isn’t the behavior itself?What if the real cost is everything happening beneath the surface?In this week’s teaching, I ask a simple but sobering question:What is your addiction actually costing you?Not just financially.But in terms of:• Time• Mental and emotional energy• Productivity• Relationships• Purpose• Life-altering consequencesOne of the challenges with addiction is that it slowly normalizes things that should concern us. We stop noticing the hours being lost. We stop noticing the opportunities being missed. We stop noticing the distance growing in our relationships.It’s a little like living inside the matrix.When you’re in it, everything feels normal.Until one day you step back and honestly ask:What is this costing me?This isn’t a message about guilt.It’s not about shame.It’s about clarity.Because the greatest tragedy may not be what addiction has done to you.The greatest tragedy may be what addiction has kept you from becoming.

    Stepping Out of Hiding (Why Porn Addicts Hide)

    Why do so many people hide their addiction?For most addicts, secrecy becomes a way of life.We hide from our spouses.We hide from our friends.We hide from our churches.Sometimes we even hide from ourselves.But hiding isn’t the problem.Hiding is the symptom.In this week’s teaching, I unpack three of the biggest reasons addicts stay trapped in secrecy:You don’t really want to change yetYou don’t believe you can changeYou’re afraid of what people will think if they know the truthWe also discuss three steps toward stepping out of hiding and into the light:Making a decision that you truly want freedomBelieving that God is able to change youAllowing the gospel to reshape your identity so you’re no longer controlled by the opinions of othersOne of the most powerful questions Jesus ever asked was directed toward a man who had been stuck for 38 years:“Do you want to get well?”That same question confronts every one of us.Because freedom begins the moment we stop hiding.
