    I hate how society is glorifying the porn industry. As a psychologist, porn is not something to praise because 99% of the actors have an addiction or no other method survival. Whether they find God or not, it is best to never do porn. But I'm so happy you did find God and forever ❤ go with that path. I hope everyone does.

    The best thing about this story for me, is the realisation that it is not pleasurable, glamorous, or satisfying for young men. We have been taught as a society that porn is fun, especially for the young men in the industry. As a woman, I can understand what it does to women in the industry, and what kind of a mind space you would have to be in, as a woman, to do this. But this made me realize that the same goes for men, and it has been such a shift for me. So Thank You. 🙏🏾

It’s definitely not an easy path and I had to become homeless in order to leave it behind. But now, I have a house and I’m finishing my degree and I have hope again. It’s so isolating to do that for work because none of the people you work with or for actually care about you so you’re very much on your own when leaving.

      God is good. He is amazing. Only He can change a person’s heart and transform people’s lives. He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to save us. Jesus died on the cross for us sinners. What Satan meant for evil, God uses for good. Genesis 50:20 as saying to his brothers, “You meant evil against me, but God used it for good.” What a story with great implications for our own lives. I pray for Joshua and his family. May God continue to use them for His greater glory and in advancing His kingdom. Hard times are here and it’ll only get tougher, as what’s written in the Bible. May we all pray for God’s wisdom and strength as we proclaim His Word and may we continue to hold on to Him and His promises.
      Ephesians 6:12-13 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.”
      Matthew 10:22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”
      By God’s grace, we will wait and endure and will bow down befoe the King of all kings, Jesus Christ.

      Life of the body is the soul. And the life of the soul is given by God the creator. A person does not need to see him to believe. Demons are real and roaming the earth seeking ruin of souls and they are expelled through Jesus Christ. They cannot be defeated by experience only by the word of God. It's either we strive for salvation for eternal life or eternal damnation. Souls are immortal.

By the way, I am an English Learner, so it´s hard to express myself as I´d like to do it by now. Thanks to Josh and Tyler for shedding us your light in the middle of our darkest nights! Regarding our vulnerability as males, I agree a hundred percent. Machist society, based on "the strong or exaggerated sense of traditional masculinity, placing great value on physical courage, virility, domination of women, and aggressiveness" needs to be changed. I believe in the new masculinities settled on the respect and the appraising of women and men are first of all human beings with worthy dreams, hopes, expectatives, and achievements, and learned lessons from frustrations, and mistakes.

    This made me cry. God is good. He is amazing. Only He can change a person’s heart and transform people’s lives. He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to save us. Jesus died on the cross for us sinners. What Satan meant for evil, God uses for good. Genesis 50:20 as saying to his brothers, “You meant evil against me, but God used it for good.” What a story with great implications for our own lives. I pray Joshua and his family. May God continue to use them for His greater glory and in advancing His kingdom. Hard times are here and it’ll only get tougher. May we all continue to hold on to God and His promises.
    Ephesians 6:12-13 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.”
    Matthew 10:22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”
    By God’s grace, we will wait and endure and will bow down befoe the King of all kings, Jesus Christ.

    Praise the Lord for we have his grace and forgiveness when we come to the father humbled and when we call on him he will be there with arms wide open.

    “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
    Isaiah 1:18
    "Therefore ., my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
    Philippians 2:12‭-‬13
    "Husbands , love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her." Ephesians 5:25
    May you continue to live worthy of your calling to the end my brother! ❤️

    This changed me today. It helped me to see myself, and God's love, in a new light.

    I'm happy for you and I'm glad your life is happy and prosperous. I have a daughter who has an absent father and the pain she has from it is no joke. I hope for a positive change in her life one day because as her mother it's killing me. There is always hope I feel but my faith has run low. I'm glad you came back to the people who truly love you.

    Wow! Answer to prayers of 30 years ago! People said it was ridiculous to pray for the p*** industry and the sex trafficking industry but praise God he is so faithful
