    Freedom isn’t about a flawless record. It’s about connection in the moment of pain.

    What If the Part of You That Runs to Porn Is Actually Trying to Help?

    What if porn is an emergency strategy—a frantic part of you chasing relief? In Part 2, Asher unpacks Internal Family Systems (Exile, Manager, Firefighter) alongside Romans 7 and Galatians 5 to name the war you feel inside—and to show how Jesus meets every part with safety, truth, and love. You’ll learn a simple prayer for the moment the urge hits, hear a real-life trigger story (the peach tree), and get a free 7-day Porn Recovery Journal to practice this work all week.

    What If Your Struggle with Porn Isn’t About Lust?

    Most men think their problem is lust. But what if it’s pain? In this opening episode of Unfeigned Christianity, Asher talks about the hidden shame beneath pornography—the exhaustion, the self-protection, and the ache for connection we rarely admit. You’ll hear: Why porn is more about pain than pleasure How our attachment wounds drive unwanted behavior Why Jesus doesn’t shame us—He meets us A simple practice called The “Where Are You?” Pause to begin healing If you’re ready to move from willpower to wholeness, this episode is for you.   Chapters 00:00 Confronting the Shame of Pornography 01:23 Understanding the Emotional Roots of Porn Use 03:37 The Path to Healing and Wholeness Join me as we talk about the pain beneath the porn—and how the gospel meets us there.

  5. Exiles, Not Emperors: Jeremiah 29:7, Christian Nationalism, and the Way of Jesus

    10/17/2025

    Exiles, Not Emperors: Jeremiah 29:7, Christian Nationalism, and the Way of Jesus

    We’re not called to win an empire. We’re called to make disciples. In this episode, I respond to an email about Charlie Kirk, “common sense” politics, and whether America was founded on Christian values. We unpack Jeremiah 29:7 in context, ask what actually reduces harm (from abortion to gender transitions), and confront a hard truth: politics is downstream of culture. If laws can’t change hearts, then discipleship—slow, messy, neighbor-level discipleship—must lead the way. I also talk frankly about Trump, calling out evil on both sides, and why I don’t vote so I’m free to pastor people rather than defend a party. Agree or not, I’d love your feedback and stories from your community. Chapters 00:00 Context to an Email I Received 08:56 Exploring American Culture and Christian Values 17:13 The Role of Political Ideologies in Christian Values 28:11 Evaluating Leadership and Moral Integrity in Politics 29:55 Engaging with Compassion and Conviction 35:54 Politics and Culture: The Interconnectedness 40:40 The Role of Christians in Cultural Impact 47:31 Discipleship Over Political Activism 52:35 The Call to Make Disciples

  6. Love Is a Battlefield: How to Fight for Intimacy in Your Marriage

    Love Is a Battlefield: How to Fight for Intimacy in Your Marriage

    In this episode, I discuss the recent scandal involving two executives from the company Astronomer who were caught in an affair at a Coldplay concert. The conversation explores the implications of infidelity, the public's reaction on social media, and the importance of maintaining intimacy in marriage. Intimacy requires effort and sin can destroy connections between spouses. What if instead of mocking or defending people during this time we chose instead to reflect on our own relationships and the importance of emotional health?     Referenced in this episode is the Esau McCaulley Podcast.     Become a Member: Become a member of Unfeigned Christianity on Patreon for as little as $5/month and take your journey deeper.

  7. Why Christians Need a Better Response to Immigration

    Why Christians Need a Better Response to Immigration

    Many people wonder why I speak out about immigration. Some ask, “Why didn’t you speak up about abortion or LGBTQ+ issues?”   Here’s the truth: I believe in legal immigration. I care deeply about obeying Jesus. And I’ve spent most of my adult life among immigrants—so this isn’t just politics to me. It’s personal.   In this video, I share: -Why undocumented doesn’t always mean “illegal” -What we’re missing when we label immigrants as “criminals” -How our politics have shaped us more than the Gospel -And what it really looks like to follow Jesus in this moment This isn’t about siding with Trump or Biden. It’s about being faithful to Christ.   Watch now. Think deeply. Let’s grow in being theologically anchored, emotionally healthy, and loving others well. Chapters: 01:12 Personal Context and Cross-Cultural Experiences 04:02 Navigating the Abortion Debate and Christian Responses 08:49 Discipleship and Political Engagement 10:34 Legal vs. Illegal Immigration: A Personal Perspective 16:47 Understanding the Complexity of Immigration Issues 20:36 The Human Side of Immigration: Empathy and Understanding
