I was crying at my desk at work. It’s just beautiful to see how God has shown himself for her thru Preston. It may not be perfect all the time but God has shown the both of them how love is more than sex. I pray the same for me one day. I pray God Sends me the type Of love I need. ❤
Jesus never fails to speak to me, he is a great father. Never have I experienced love & wisdom through Gods people after time & time again falling short of his glory. I started listening to this getting ready to work because I knew it was the Lord speaking to me. And I wanted to finish it before I had to clock in. As soon as I parked, it ended. Just goes to show how perfect the Lords timing is.
22:00 I almost started crying. So vulnerable & honest. A man that can be this self aware AND the work AND leans on God? I’m going through a breakup and I’m beating myself up about the boundaries & things I had and this just reminded me that Godly men do in-fact exist.
the statement Ray made about how God Entrusted him with his wife who suffered brought me to tears because God is so strategic.. this allows us who have suffered to know a better life. a life of love, a life of peace, a life of not always having to pour in other peoples cup but in yet be restored, renewed and have our wounds nursed. at the end of the day we're all looking to be loved.. and its through that love that we understand Christ's love all the more. i think we take Matthew 22:37-39 lightly. we don't know that by being and acting this Word out we are unknowingly healing wounds in people.
Jackie, I feel your pain deeply. And unfortunately I know it all too well. But I’m encouraged to see that the Lord is still working on it in your life. I’ve been walking with the Lord 12 years and married for 10 and some days I’m discouraged because I think that this is supposed to be done and dealt with and when it’s not I feel deep shame and sorrow. Thank you for your faithfulness. And for opening up.
Its phenomenal, more miraculous really, how Jackie has softened up, let her guard down and sat more on her femininity. What the Holy Spirit is doing to and with both your hearts is such a marvel guys. Thank you sir and ma'am for sharing your journey with God with us.
Wow wow wow! God delivered me, a woman, from the bondage of pornography addiction some years ago. It was such a profound deliverance that I cannot recall the day it happened, I just remember thinking…I don’t desire that anymore. I wondered when it happened. I thought I would never be delivered because it stemmed from being molested as a very little girl and had propelled me into relationships, sexual and non-sexual, that were toxic and abusive. Thank you pastor Ray for having a heart given over to God, not only for those who engage with pornography second hand, but for those who are trafficked and groomed into it. Jackie and Preston your transparency is beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank You Daddy God!
The same happened for me this year 🙌🏽… was exposed to pornography when I was 8 and wrestled on and off till the age of 32. Tried everything… but to God be the glory because I KNOW I’m free!!!
Pray for your sis too... the timing 🤧😮💨🙏🏾 Jesus.... When we feel particularly vulnerable, protect our hearts from any threats of the enemy. Help us to release our shame so that you can heal us. In the face of hardship, please hold us firmly so that we are not shaken. In Jesus’ name, amen!
This episode blessed me. The part where he spoke of it being an attack against the woman. Reminded me of Revelations 12 where it says the dragon was angry with the woman who gave birth to Jesus and declared war against all her children the ones who keep Gods commandments and maintains the testimony of Jesus wow. I also absolutely love yall vulnerability about your marriage. Thank you for your obedience ❤
The “Genesis 1 was written before the fall in Genesis 3” This is so good because it is a healthy way to view ourselves in the eyes of God. It is hard to believe (when we sin) that He loves us because we run to Genesis 3 instead of Genesis 1 😭😭 Wow, that just set me free from that lie of Satan. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Praise the Lord for eyes and ears to hear and see! ❤️❤️🙏🏼 God bless you Perry’s and Ortlund’s!
His closing was exactly how I felt watching this. I love y’all for opening yourselves up like this to do this very difficult work for the kingdom. Bless you all ❤
This guy is talking about how the women in porn have been lied to. I’m also thinking there are plenty of guys who have felt that way as well. Porn lies to you and takes your soul whether you’re the person doing it or watching.
Dear Jackie, dear Preston, I want to say a big thank you for this podcast. I can't stop crying right now, but they are tears of total deliverance. I am Gabonese living in Berlin (Germany) for 9 years and was also born again for almost 9 years in Jesus Christ 💓. I have indeed been connected to your RUclips podcasts for almost 5 years and am blessed. But I must admit that this particular podcast is powerful and full of love that I can feel here in Berlin. In a word, I thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who has raised you up in this season for millions of people around the world who need to hear this message that delivers. I also thank the pastor you invited because I see that Jesus Christ works with him. Truly, thank you for existing in Jesus Christ 💓
This was soooo good! Thank you for this vulnerable conversation. I related a lot with what Preston said about friendship and the advice Jackie gave about not having expectations on what they can do for you but how you can serve your friendships. Also, I started to cry with Jackie when she opened up about the need to be loved unconditionally. I felt that in my soul.
There is so much healing in this specific. That question Ray asked is a big talking point. As someone that struggles with pornography I appreciate this episode a lot. Thank you.
Hey Perry's: Don't know how or why your video popped up in my feed but it did AND I am so thankful! I have been a christian woman nearly all my adult life. I have agonized from teen age to now trying to understand why men are disrespectful in their treatment toward women. This goes back to Biblical times. Godly men love King David and King Solomon to me ... a woman ... I find them disgusting. I have asked male friends, family, pastors to explain ... help me to understand why men behave as they do. Man and all living creatures were made of the earth. Woman was formed of man. Why would a man degrade his own self, part of his being. Thank you, thank you thank you for having Ray Ortland on your program and for having the courage to discuss these issues so openly. I really appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart. Finally three men being real men and speaking frankly of very difficult issues. Many of my decades old questions have been answered. I've already "shared" this video with a number of people and will be sharing with more. Will also be tuning into more of your videos. Have a great day!
I was deeply blessed by this as a mother, a wife, a pastor, a teacher and a child of God. You don’t need to be struggling with porn to be blessed by this message. Give it a watch! ❤️
This was such a great pod. Thank you for being vulnerable Preston and Jackie! ❤The struggle a lot of people face with Sex and porn arent spoken about enough in the Christian faith. This episode really helped me.
This episode was amazing. I pray that the porn industry be dismantled. Thank you Preston thank you Jackie for your vulnerability, you set so many free today. Thank you for letting God use you in such a profound way!
I thank you all for your obedience. My husband sent me this video last night. Our story is very similar to the Perry's VERY. I have been praying long and hard for God to renew our marriage and although we have been doing the work and having hard conversations, I couldn't get him to understand how he made me feel sexually but God used you beautiful men and woman of God to drive the point home for him. I broke down crying when Jackie said, "No today was a difficult day but can we watch a movie, or are there other avenues of intimacy that might open me up to a yes". I broke because I've been trying to years to get my husband to understand that but I thank God for opening his eyes ears and heart to receive this message. So again I say thank you all for your obedience. My God continue to shine His light on you and through you all. Much love from the Barkers ❤🙏🏾
This was a super great and needed conversation!!!! Husband and I listened together and could relate to you guys so much and also what the pastor said was so spot on! I was emotional tooo Jackie 😭😭😭
I love you guys I’m 26 and literally trying to get myself together now and stay away from something and see this helped . honestly I feel like some of my fragments of been broken or hurt I’m not happy but all I could do is go in my waiting stage and try my hardest to stay consistent
Thank you both for sharing your hearts. Jackie, your comment on wanting to be loved, just because, not because you can offer something to your spouse. I feel that deeply. Thank you.
I must agree with Pastor Ray, my love and respect for you both has truly grown after what you've shared in this episode. Thank you for your vulnerability, strength and courage sharing your heart for the glory of God. That is NOT easy to do! This podcast has been such a blessing to myself and my husband this past year, both individually and together in our marriage. Our hearts are changing and drawing nearer to the LORD, and I am so grateful to God for yall 🙏🏽 But yeah... i just had to drop this comment and let ya know lol. I have been and will continue to pray for you both and your ministry. Its reaching hearts for sure. God bless yall and much love ❤
My goodness. This conversation blessed me so much. I relate to Jackie in so many ways and this conversation solidified that even more. Thank you, each one of you, for your transparency and inviting us all into this conversation.
Definitely feel so close to yall right now🥹🥺 Thank you for letting us in in such a real way. I pray God continues to strengthen your marriage, may He continue to bring you closer and closer to Him individually and collectively! Im honestly looking forward to my kingdom marriage because of your beautiful example. God bless you Preston and Jackie❤️
12:10 I use to know a man who would tell me I could make a lot of money with the body I got, I’m so thankful and blessed that I broke free from that man and didn’t end up on that path.
This was such a beautiful episode. Thank you for your insight, transparency and vulnerability. May God continue to bless your union and everything you both touch. May His hand forever be on you and your lineage. We are blessed and transformed by your YES to be used by God in this generation. Thank you 🙏🏾💜
😮💨 This episode was so good! Ray is full of wisdom. Jackie and Preston being extremely vulnerable. All the things! Thank you! Y’all are helping so many!
This podcast put another lens and perspective on porn and BODY ministry. “It’s not the people who are good that do evil, it’s the people who are not thinking that commit evil. BARZ!!
This was incredible. So much goodness here, but I was especially struck by the thought that we all marry someone who has suffered. 🤯 So obvious but profound
I appreciate how you guys continue to talk about it, BECAUSE one soul at a time, you are snatching souls out of the fiery flames of hell. THIS IS GOD'S WORK; DON'T GET WEARY IN WELL DOING PLEASE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND BRINGING ON GUESTS TO DO SO AS WELL. These conversations have helped me tremendously.
This conversation was the kingdom of heaven coming to earth on this topic. 99.5% of women, whether sucked into porn, sex trafficking, or some kind of addictive behavior that leads to fornication or sexual abuse has been sold this lie that it is natural and normal for sex to happen outside of a committed, loving, God-protected relationship. They’ve been made to feel like they are the servants of this norm and men are the receivers of sexual benefit and if they also get pleasure out of it then that affirms the recreational nature of nameless, faceless sexual practice. It goes against everything a woman’s heart naturally longs for before she is perverted and defiled by a sin sick world. That leaves her giving sex in hopes of receiving love while men are being lied to and utterly perverted in other ways which make them grow even less connected, productive, and fulfilled as they turn to porn. Yep this is a pillar of satanic rule on earth. Incredible discussion. THANK YOU.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God, He changed my life. Now I have a home, a Wife and a lovely daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gets me $44,000 Every month. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery . Glory to God.shalom.
I love this conversation and that you touch on the topic of pornography. As a Black woman who has struggled with an addiction to pornography and masturbation and experienced God's freedom, I would love to hear about this topic from a women's perspective as well. I think we rarely equate this type of addiction to women and it's still a very taboo topic.
Porn is objectively not sex. Sex is love, sex is selfless, and sex is gentle. Sex is beautiful. God invented it to be that way- a sacred physical and spiritual union that is fulfilling for both parties as holistic human beings, not just as two bodies. The world is thoroughly confused and has perverted it beyond recognition. I had a history with consuming porn as well; porn cultivates selfishness and perverts sex into power and degradation. It corrupts marriages through addiction, and couples attempting to use it to learn intimacy. Besides the obvious issues with porn, in a world with crime, there is no way to know for sure which videos are actually victims of domestic abuse, revenge porn, and human trafficking. These scriptures were helpful for me in understanding the true mentality of sex as God designed and freeing me from porn/helping me grow closer to Christ: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 Don’t forget, God loves you and it’s not too late to repent and run to his arms, to heal, and to become new. God bless you. 😊❤️ “The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace.” So says the LORD who loves you. Isaiah 54:10 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
This is good. I struggled with porn at a very young age and now have been set free. Now I am writing a book on pornography. Hope to have it out early next year.
When Jackie cries, we all do. ❤ this convo was SO edifying
Literally. 🫂💓
I was crying at my desk at work. It’s just beautiful to see how God has shown himself for her thru Preston. It may not be perfect all the time but God has shown the both of them how love is more than sex. I pray the same for me one day. I pray God
Sends me the type
Of love I need. ❤
I definitely cried too I'm so happy that she has security and pure love
so much truth!
Immediately 😂
Jesus never fails to speak to me, he is a great father. Never have I experienced love & wisdom through Gods people after time & time again falling short of his glory. I started listening to this getting ready to work because I knew it was the Lord speaking to me. And I wanted to finish it before I had to clock in. As soon as I parked, it ended.

Thank you Jackie for being vulnerable. You gave me the language for my experience
22:00 I almost started crying. So vulnerable & honest. A man that can be this self aware AND the work AND leans on God? I’m going through a breakup and I’m beating myself up about the boundaries & things I had and this just reminded me that Godly men do in-fact exist.

@ Amén!
Damn, the timing of this vid..pray for me guys
🙏🏿
Pray for your sis too... the timing 🤧😮💨🙏🏾
Jesus.... When we feel particularly vulnerable, protect our hearts from any threats of the enemy. Help us to release our shame so that you can heal us. In the face of hardship, please hold us firmly so that we are not shaken. In Jesus’ name, amen!

Just WOW!!! This dialogue! Last week was phenomenal this week was off the charts! Come with the wisdom my brother!
Porn isn’t about sex it’s about power !
Wow that’s prosofund. I appreciate that
IT'S ABOUT BOTH SEX AND POWER, AND SEX IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL CUS GOD MADE IT, NOT DEVILS WHO ABUSE IT OUTSIDE OF ITS MAIN PURPOSES...
This was soooo good! Thank you for this vulnerable conversation. I related a lot with what Preston said about friendship and the advice Jackie gave about not having expectations on what they can do for you but how you can serve your friendships.

This episode was deep and Ray was on point about what the next great awakening / revival will look like. It's actually happening now.
Wow Perry’s this is so good. Thank you for being so selfless and thinking of us. This is such good teaching.
So goodddd
I was deeply blessed by this as a mother, a wife, a pastor, a teacher and a child of God. You don’t need to be struggling with porn to be blessed by this message. Give it a watch! ❤️
Thank you so much for the raw honesty and TRUTH shared in this podcast. It's so refreshing!

what a great conversation! Thank you so much!! over here leaking out of my eyes!
Please also address fictional porn. Many women read erotic literature, and many men and women read or watch pornographic anime/manga.
Omg yes mine started from those Zane novels as a teenager
I’ve just started the episode but it would be good to also cover TV shows that are very explicit
So true and I didn't realize it until I got older.
Ray Ortlund’s description of his sexuality for his wife was eye opening. And it better helps me understand the purpose of sexual intimacy in marriage.
This was a super great and needed conversation!!!! Husband and I listened together and could relate to you guys so much and also what the pastor said was so spot on!
I was emotional tooo Jackie 😭😭😭
I love you guys I’m 26 and literally trying to get myself together now and stay away from something and see this helped . honestly I feel like some of my fragments of been broken or hurt I’m not happy but all I could do is go in my waiting stage and try my hardest to stay consistent
This is such a healing conversation... my God...

Nothing but eye opening information being received. I thank the Perry’s and Ray for being obedient to God and discussing this topic.
WOW..... What a beautiful beautiful Conversation, thank you God for your grace 😢🥺🙏🏽
Now Jackie has me crying. This is exactly how I feel as well. I was also sexually abused. Thank you for your transparency.
This was such a necessary conversation. The entire body needs to see this
Listened to the podcast episode already and I’m definitely down for watching it in full!
My goodness. This conversation blessed me so much. I relate to Jackie in so many ways and this conversation solidified that even more. Thank you, each one of you, for your transparency and inviting us all into this conversation.
I tried it at 14 and was disturbed and NEVER watched it again..I just couldn’t take it…I FLED.
Thank God for His mercy!
This is one of the greatest talks on christian sexuality I've ever heard. My God the Lord is good 🎉
Thank you so much Pastor Ortlund for your amazing insights! A big shout-out to the Perrys for this awesome podcast/video
I listened to this and immediately went to binge the death of pron audiobook. it seems like no one is talking about this!! so real
Definitely feel so close to yall right now🥹🥺 Thank you for letting us in in such a real way. I pray God continues to strengthen your marriage, may He continue to bring you closer and closer to Him individually and collectively! Im honestly looking forward to my kingdom marriage because of your beautiful example. God bless you Preston and Jackie❤️
We have to do better at attacking pornography fr. Its not normal, it is a big deal, it is adultery and it is killing families
Thank you for letting me l know I am not alone with how I struggle in this area Jackie. You blessed me today.
This was Definitely hitting different
I like this perspective on this Conversation
“My sexual intensity is not for me” THAT IS A GAME CHANGER SIR
12:10 I use to know a man who would tell me I could make a lot of money with the body I got, I’m so thankful and blessed that I broke free from that man and didn’t end up on that path.
This pod is beyond beautiful. This is a topic that needs to be talked about so much more openly around the world💕
"If we allow porn to suceed we are saying i dont believe the Gospel AT ALL..."
If thats not a convicting statement, then i dont know what is!
What a powerful message ! Thank you for sharing.
Not yall having me at my desk 😭 this is so good! ❣
Bruh is spitting fire through the whole video! Y'all gotta bring him back on!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
This was such a beautiful episode. Thank you for your insight, transparency and vulnerability. May God continue to bless your union and everything you both touch. May His hand forever be on you and your lineage. We are blessed and transformed by your YES to be used by God in this generation. Thank you 🙏🏾💜
This is so good ! This is grown , mature Christianity with a mix of therapy ! So many gems! ❤
Well needed convo!🙏🏾 I’m a woman who was bound to p0rn for several yrs on & off. Thank Jesus for His freedom!🙌🏾✨
😮💨 This episode was so good! Ray is full of wisdom. Jackie and Preston being extremely vulnerable. All the things! Thank you! Y’all are helping so many!
Wow Jackie I wish I could hug you. This was so good to my soul. Preston bless you guys and the pastor it was love through out this whole episode
Much needed, praying churches can offer this type of space for honesty for each other leaders and congregations
I just finished listening to this beautiful episode. Thank you Perrys & Pastor Ortlund, this really ministered to me.
Thank you for blessing us with this episode! I just love the transparency!
Thank you for having this vulnerable real conversation for us to hear and see. I saw myself in it and had some revelations of my own walls I put up.
I love you Jackie and Preston Perry, God bless you guys and your family❤
We don't come to church to polish our righteousness. We come to church to open up about our brokenness.🔥
I unfortunately struggle with this sin, but this talk has given me great perspective on how to understand this alongside the bible.
We don’t come to church to polish our righteousness. 🙌🏾
This podcast put another lens and perspective on porn and BODY ministry. “It’s not the people who are good that do evil, it’s the people who are not thinking that commit evil. BARZ!!
This was soo good, Jus wanted to hug Jackie through my screen when she wept💓💓
That quote was POWERFUL !!
This man’s wisdom is through the roof. Thank you for this!
"Satan hates women" never a truer word was spoken.
This was incredible. So much goodness here, but I was especially struck by the thought that we all marry someone who has suffered. 🤯 So obvious but profound
All i can say right now is- SO GOOD!!! Thank you Lord Jesus
The slave analogy was chef’s kiss🤏🏾
Why did these 45mins just feel like 20mins?
Omg jackie bring tears to my eyes when she started crying 😩😩😢♥️♥️i feel the same way
So Powerful.....and stronghold shattering! I will be saving this!
I appreciate how you guys continue to talk about it, BECAUSE one soul at a time, you are snatching souls out of the fiery flames of hell. THIS IS GOD'S WORK; DON'T GET WEARY IN WELL DOING PLEASE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND BRINGING ON GUESTS TO DO SO AS WELL. These conversations have helped me tremendously.
I would love to have that kind of resource, I wish I had that kind of community around me. I am struggling. 44:32
This is so goodand informative. Thank you all. ❤ May God bless you more in Jesus' name. 🙏🏾
This was so powerful. I definitely needed this episode today.

I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God, He changed my life. Now I have a home, a Wife and a lovely daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gets me $44,000 Every month. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
My dear, please for the love of God can you shed light on how it happened??

I love this conversation and that you touch on the topic of pornography. As a Black woman who has struggled with an addiction to pornography and masturbation and experienced God's freedom, I would love to hear about this topic from a women's perspective as well. I think we rarely equate this type of addiction to women and it's still a very taboo topic.
Porn is objectively not sex. Sex is love, sex is selfless, and sex is gentle. Sex is beautiful. God invented it to be that way- a sacred physical and spiritual union that is fulfilling for both parties as holistic human beings, not just as two bodies. The world is thoroughly confused and has perverted it beyond recognition.
I had a history with consuming porn as well; porn cultivates selfishness and perverts sex into power and degradation. It corrupts marriages through addiction, and couples attempting to use it to learn intimacy. Besides the obvious issues with porn, in a world with crime, there is no way to know for sure which videos are actually victims of domestic abuse, revenge porn, and human trafficking.
These scriptures were helpful for me in understanding the true mentality of sex as God designed and freeing me from porn/helping me grow closer to Christ:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
Don’t forget, God loves you and it’s not too late to repent and run to his arms, to heal, and to become new. God bless you. 😊❤️
“The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace.” So says the LORD who loves you. Isaiah 54:10
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
This is good. I struggled with porn at a very young age and now have been set free. Now I am writing a book on pornography. Hope to have it out early next year.
Glory be to God!
