There is HOPE for the future and we are not alone.🙌

This is good for pastors to watch❤❤❤

Wow! Never in a million years would it have occurred to me that "lust" was anything remotely good. However, Nick makes some excellent points. Thanks for posting this clip & giving me some food for thought.

Within definition of Spiritual is that it cannot be measured in a lab or it's not physical. Sex is a physical act that spiritual consequences. Pastors should learn Genesis with a Hebrew understanding and drop the Greek philosophy they learned at Seminary.

Fantastic Podcast with ideas ion how to bring up the subject of sexuality in the Church God's way. Thank you fir the great ideas and encouragement; and thanks foe the challenge.

Cool video

I love what you guys do and the information you put out there, but do not compare us to the animal kingdom and their sexual behaviors. We are made in the image of God. Animals are not. And your thoughts on lust are way off! It is not from God. 1 John 2:16

I am so glad to see this topic from the ministry. I have been saying this more and more this past year that, part of the problem we are seeing from the deep seeded plague of pornography in our culture and the rift between the LGBTQ community is not only the silence of the church on the issue of SEX but the ridicule, shame and judgment the church has targeted this issue with. The Church has not been willing to speak the Truth in Love concerning this topic to win lost souls to Christ. Sex is a gift from God but we have not been able to recognize that gift because of what we have to deal with in our singleness in order to arrive at Holy Matrimony. There definitely needs to be a paradigm shift and it starts with a conversation on a God-Ordained platform and it will begin to spread like Wildfire! JUST WATCH!!! I'm gearing up to be part of the conversation and help bring healing to the masses.

I am really confused why the church will talk about every other subject except something that is on the minds of every man. A EVERY MAN’S BATTLE. If the statistics are correct, that’s 65 to 75% of the men are having porn issues. And 45% of the leaders are, this is a cancer that is absolutely Destroying the church and marriages. This is called the sin of omission. It’s happening to me right now. I went to a sexuality seminar years ago, at a church and the leader asked the 300 guys attending. How many of you have masturbated this year? At least 90% raise their hand. The response from the leader. Well if you’re all doing it, let’s try to do it responsibly without porn. What do you think about this?

This is wonderful. If we shame our kids and don’t teach them that God created sex for the unity of marriage then they will hide in shame their whole life. This world is full of sexual culture and someone else will teach them if we don’t. We must have a step ahead of the evil that surrounds us. Thank you Pure Desire and Rodney!!! ❤

But are they really given the space to be wounded and be acknowledged how they were wounded, or is their pain shoved back at them with the message of getting back with their partner?

God Created man in his imagine is given to us in the context of Man being the King of this world Just as God is King over everything. You Guys need some leasons from Jewish Rabbis before you start mis construing the Hebrew in Genesis to make into something sexual. No. Man and woman are different physical in sex is obvious. God says Man is created from Dust. Thats spiritual. MAN FEELS LIKE A NOTHING UNLESS HE IS GIVING AND WORKING. WOMAN WAS CREATED FROM MAN, SPIRITUALLY. SO WOMAN CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT SHE IS SOMETHING. SHE IS EITHER A 1 OR 10 BUT SHE ISN'T A NOTHING ON HER MIND. PLEASE STUDY THE HEBREW FIRST. DONT TRY TO SEXUALIZE EVERYTHING. 😊❤

He's not going to give us the stats?

GOD IS NOT SEXUAL SAYS THE BIBLE BECAUSE GOD IS SPIRIT AND SPIRITS DON'T HAVE SEX. THANK YOU NICK!! MAYBE JUST YOU SPEAK SOLO SO WE DONT HAVE SKIP THESE GUYS.

This was a fantastic episode! So much great information! Thank you for helping us know how to better discuss this topic with our children. Thank you, Nick and Rodney, for all you do!

Exposure IS NOT unavoidable. That's stupid

Why did he part ways ???

👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Hebrews 10:10

That sucks if his addiction was porn etc...to go through it a second time...smh

She is amazing! Thank you for this!! Will be seeking out more of her teachings for healing. Thank you, Pure Desire Ministry!!

Wow, so moving.

Sadly, the "bumper sticker" statements are some I've said to myself. You're right, whether we speak them to ourselves or we hear them from someone else, those statements only add to the pain.

Is also no ok to start an emotional connection in social media like TikTok or Instagram.. which old people men and women start.. no respect

I was so afraid of being lustful that I could barely look a woman in the eyes until I was in my mid 20s. This crap has ruined me.

A+ episode! Praise God!

Agree! There is so much more heartbreaking loss than the money wasted!! Deep agonizing heartbreaking loss!!! 😢

At least you admit it my parents never did

This is 🎯

😮

Trevor and Nick, you guys are awesome, too!

Awesome, Rich!

We enjoyed so much of what he shared!

😮

I honestly love when yall start with something fun. I understand it often needs a more serious approach with some of the sensitive topics but it helps to feel connected when yall just talk for a few minutes. Great stuff guys!

If you don’t have time to watch this entire video, just watch the last three minutes.

Cool video

😮

Thanks Josh!!

Interesting and Amazing! Men in particular need to hear more about how Sex is not our Identity.

Thanks!

My husband doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. I see that he is. Its been 13 years of no change, not taking responsibility or admitting to his issues. I'm working on my healing, but it's difficult because I see no change from him. How can I make him see that he needs help?

I think there is a huge correlation between porn usage and divorce. I don't understand why this is not mentioned more or perhaps a study to show this correlation. Many marriages end because of "cheating" partners, I think the fuel that starts the thinking behavior is porn usage. My own marriage of 27 years ended partially because of his "fantasies" he wanted to experience with others.

I really struggle with how some folks make sex addiction or porn addiction so defining. It’s like it is the single most important thing about a person, especially a man. It’s such a huge, crushing weight that leads to hopelessness, not empowerment.

I have no clue about what there referring to when they say Discovery. I don't get it neither 🤷🏻‍♀️

My 1st DDay was through my h's self disclosure. 2,5 yrs later and after tenth of thousands wasted on 'recovery', I found out that he never stopped acting out. Why the heck did he even disclose the first time?? This is so crazy making 😢

Thank you so much. I finally feel like maybe my Therapist isn’t trying to introduce me to pagan thoughts that will overturn my faith

I'm a man and I have sexual trauma. I didn’t realize until now but my ex sexually abused me. It feels awful and I blamed myself for a long time but I realize I've done nothing wrong.

This is possibly one of the most enlightening talks that Pure Desire has put together which shows me how thankful I am that God has helped me get out of this harmful teaching. "Doesn't matter how long we are in recovery, we're going to continue to uncover nuance of our shame, of our past right... if we don't have the perspective to do that, then we're leaving ourselves vulnerable." What a scary and disheartening statement. I just can't see Jesus (probably because he doesn't say anything of the sort in the gospels) saying that to the woman at the well, or the woman caught in adultery. "Why don't you keep evaluating your past shame - otherwise you may end up doing it again!" I'll let the reader find out what Jesus really says in those instances. When recovery is just a never ending attempt to avoid a behavior/substance by evaluating past trauma, using will power, putting up boundaries, while still maintaining your belief that that behavior/substance has value/power over your life - then you will never be free. Blending addiction/recovery beliefs with the gospel is dangerous and ultimately neuters the freedom Christ has already given us. For those interested - I can't emphasis how crucial the Freedom Model was for me to understand I'm not a slave to sin or what I considered my addiction. God is so Good!

I find it interesting that you use the term "attraction." instead of "orientation." That use seems to be a fundamental distinction you are attempting to make. . While I did not listen to your entire podcast, It seem that you are denying that individuals come by their orientation honestly, by nature. Orientation would be better based on science rather than religious beliefs. Not accepting a person's orientation is very disrespectful of the person. If you cannot accept a person's orientation, you cannot be a friend to that person, , simply because you are always judging and I believe Jesus advised us not to judge.
