Three Lies of Porn

In this episode of Hope Reforged, we dive into the profound impacts of pornography on individuals and relationships, offering insights and hope for those seeking freedom.

We delve into how pornography impacts brain function, changes emotional and social interactions, and fosters shame. We also examine the spiritual consequences and its potential effects on future generations. Through a biblical perspective, we emphasize the importance of aligning actions with heart intentions, as highlighted by Jesus in Matthew 5:27.
 
Join us as we break down the cycle of addiction and offer hope through God's restoration. This episode is a journey from understanding the detrimental effects of pornography to embracing the possibility of healing and restoration.
