I really value the way you reflect and represent the "kingdom" culture. You are a believable carrier of the Lord - your language and the topics you engage with are life-giving. There is no lazy, formulaic christenese language. Thanks. I would suggest that when you feature or take a cut out of a conversation as you did with JP and The Pints with Aquino's guy, let the highlighted conversation move uninterrupted - after which you might then comment. The Christian default always seems to over explain and over embellish. That said, I enjoy listening to you.
I especially like when you interrupt Peterson to tell me to listen to what he's saying. Maybe STFU since you aren't adding anything of value. Seems like your using the video to promote the 23 links in the description. Lol
I saw this just now. I sinned again and went straight back to that evil. I’m so tired of it. I hate it so much. I want to get clean and get rid of this sin. I need to spend time with the Lord, and not stay in places I know will tempt me. If I stay up too late or am by myself with my phone it’s a temptation. I’ve gotta avoid these things.
Stay strong. I know it’s difficult, I have been struggling off and on with it as well. It’s really important to figure out what your triggers are and to find ways to avoid them. I finally had to admit that gaming and other hobbies that I love can be triggers for me as well. Praying consistently is vital. And most importantly remember that God will always forgive you if you truly want to change. Take the necessary actions. I decided recently that I am going to do a 90 day fast from gaming and other distractions to get more into my Bible Study, prayer and purpose. I recommend taking drastic action if you are serious. Find what motivates you and use it to get out of this hole. I’m praying for you 🙏
It's going to get better. There is redemption and salvation in Jesus Christ. Run to Christ. Run to the Lord. Follow hard after Him. He is the only one who can truly set you free from sin, and if not set you free, give you peace in the midst of it. If you're constantly running from your sin, your focus is constantly going to be on your sin. But if you're constantly running to Jesus, and chasing after Him, your focus will constantly be on Him. So don't run from your sin - instead, run continually toward Christ. Be broken over your sin, allow your heart to be contrite over it, but don't allow the enemy to shame you for giving in. Don't allow Satan to deter you from spending time with God. I can say from personal experience that this change in mindset and perspective have not gone so far as to free me from the grip of lust and pornography, but have definitely helped me to see them as non-issues in the light of God's grace. (not saying that sin isn't an issue, just that I'm no longer concerned that I sin and instead choose to trust that the Lord will free me from it).
I have struggled with this all my life. I became a born-again, baptized Christian six years ago but it was not until the last few months that I have finally overcome it. My personal experience is that sexual sin should not be tackled independently. It is the symptom of a broken mind. We must transform our lives and renew our minds through the word of God so that sexual sin does not appeal to us anymore. Our lives become so full of love and joy that sexual sin becomes not only unnecessary but also repugnant. The reason is, as long as we still find it attractive, relapse is always possible whatever we do to stay away from it. Praise the Lord. I am a living testimony to the fact that this prevalent and pernicious sin can indeed be conquered, for nothing is impossible for God.
@@dahliaherrod4301It certainly wasn't one single thing and it certainly didn't happen overnight. The best way to describe it is I tackled the root of the problem - our lives. I discovered that we committed sexual sin to make our lives manageable temporarily. Since it's a temporary solution, we would soon be trapped in a vicious cycle. That's what addiction is about. However, l have now discovered that there are things in my life far more profound and fulfilling, such as meaning, joy and relationships, and sexual sin has become totally meaningless. Not only that, l actually find it obnoxious in the core of my being. I have actually moved past the stage where I was simply subduing my urges, because I truly don't have any urges anymore. It has now become an anathema to me, very much like smoking or drinking. God bless you.

How do I find it disgusting. I am a born again Christian teen how was saved in late janurary and was delivered from masturbation, smoking weed and several other addictions but it’s like they started to creep back as of recent. The weed has been washed away but I’m still having problems with pornography and I don’t want to be something I have to wait years to get delivered from I want to get rid of it now. I’d appreciate any help man
@@RonaldMa-bk9ti I appreciate your wisdom on this matter. I haven't truly tried to deal with the matters in my life that push me to seek unhealthy and sinful coping mechanisms. Obviously there's no way around it and your testimony is one more push I need to force me to address them with Jesus' help. Thank you and God bless you!
Sounds like what Paul the Apostle said, “If you walk in the Spirit (replacement thing), then you won’t gratify the desires of the flesh.”(Replaced thing). Gal. 5:25
Porn literally almost destroyed my entire life. JP says your addiction will kill you and I seriously felt that. I don’t want to fully explain it because it was the most terrifying and traumatic experience I’ve ever had, and for fear of it happening again. I was literally scared straight and am two days clean now. Stay strong brothers and sisters, porn is evil, and will grip its fingers of sin around you until you’re at rock bottom or even further. Lord, I pray anyone struggling with this temptation will be free from its grips in order to live a more virtuous life for you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏼 ✝️❤️
I struggled with this for years, but I finally managed to break the cycle. It's important to understand that sin separates us from God, and when we willfully sin, we enslave ourselves to our own desires. We become prisoners of our own sin, and the only way to free ourselves is to reject this sin and fully accept God's will and mercy. When you are convicted by the Holy Spirit, you don’t have the same desire to sin as before.
Lusting after a woman that belongs to someone else and desiring her like David did is a sin. Masturbation would’ve kept David from sinning if he did it instead.
@@LateGrabber everyone belongs to someone else whether they realize it or not. Just because you don’t knows who’s bike is at the bus stop doesn’t mean you take it
As a woman, I’m not sure it’s as openly talked about but the book genre erotic romance has exploded. It’s segued readers into much darker content that’s more accepted and embraced by woman then any other time. It’s as addicting as corn and extremely deceptive. I wish more women could talk about this 😔
Totally agree, but didn’t realize it until it was pointed out to me a few years ago. I still read books with a romantic aspect to the story line, but skip over the corn pages. I am always amazed at how many pages are wasted on this and don’t feel I lost any of the story line without it. Actually, I find it odd when I read a series and after the third or fourth book, suddenly they start devoting entire chapters to this stuff.
@@kailee5694 I agree with you, It’s now that the books are dedicated to graphic scenes and honestly the story line is second. IMO Fifty Shades of Grey was a gateway to harder elements for women that made it feel acceptable and cool.
I remember reading a Stanford study saying AA had the highest success rate for quitting alcohol, and that counciling has a very low success rate. I personally came to Jesus and haven't had a drink since that moment! Praise the one true God!
As someone who was addicted since 15, and I was saved nearly 7 years ago. The only thing that's stopping you from quitting your addiction is how willing you are to be obedient. That is all. Are you willing to obey the Holy Spirit to the point of pain?
15 years ago I was instantly and permanently delivered from masturbation through theophostic prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Praise God! Lust has still been a struggle, though not nearly to the extent it was before.
I went with my wife to pray with a mentor from my church. Theophostic prayer is a fancy way of saying you ask God to reveal the root of something. Did that, asked God to reveal the lie, reveal the truth, renounce the lie, proclaim and agree with the truth, repent. Walked away feeling no different. Had prayed many times before about this. For whatever reason on that day it was real, and is real. I stopped being a slave, it was no longer a part of my identity, still isn't. A couple of months after I did "fall" into masturbation again, but it wasn't the same. It's been over 15 years now since I last did that thing that made me feel less. To me this is just as much a miracle as a spontaneous physical miracle, which has also happened to me since. Jesus Christ is real.
I had a very similar experience nearly a month ago. Jesus delivered me from a decade-long addiction to marijuana and porn/masturbation. Masturbation was a near daily occurrence and I was stoned so often that sobriety literally became my alternate state of mind. After attending an apologetics conference at a church in a nearby city, I cast aside my pride, humbled myself and cried out to Jesus with tears running down my face, “please, Jesus, take these sinful desires away from me!” He did just that. I haven’t indulged in either of my addictions since, nor do I have any desire to. Jesus saved me from something I tried, and failed, to save myself from for years! He is so faithful. That was just over three weeks ago. Ironically, my first day of sobriety was 4/20/24, a day that I had historically smoked the most during every year since I started years ago. For those that don’t know, in cannabis culture, 4/20 is basically a day of celebrating everything cannabis-related. Not only is Jesus full of grace, mercy and love, He clearly has a sense of humor. Our God is SO great!
@@user-gx4wi4cv2m It's been awhile, but I believe the lie was that I needed it, that it was a part of me. The truth is I am a good son by God's grace, and that that sin is not who I am. I think confession isn't just owning up to sin, it's also stating the truth of God for that situation as a declaration. P.S. Forgot to mention that part of the process is asking the Holy Spirit to show you the first instance of this sin in your life, the root. Law of first mention type thing.
This woulda been wild to see 7 years ago for me. When I started drinking. I remember I read the 12-step book at 21 but the second it said God I closed the book and never opened it again. Apart of me said "Oh Ima do this myself I got this". 6 years later I realized my mistakes lmao. So far been sober from drinking for like 8 months or something haven't kept track just stopped. Life turned around, I went from homeless to 6 digits in the bank which to me is crazy cause it's like, you wish you did it sooner even if you know if you went back the same thing would happen again. The wild thing is that when I started diving into theology learning about history and religions is when my drive for wanting to drink stopped. After that, for job and lotta other stuff, personal religious experiences came into play. But it's true. Getting into religion tbf really does stop alcoholism.
Oh so great! Ordered the book , makes so much sense. So clear to see how I’ve replaced where I’ve had victory, lead by my love for the Lord.great Chanel!,
Only when I came to God and started praying was I able to stop my addiction for p*rn. I was introduced to it when I was around about 9 and I had been watching it off and on for around 14 years, give or take a year. Now that I have recently become a Christian I have weapons at my disposal to combat sinful thoughts and prevent myself from giving into any lustful urges.
There is no wonder as to why young people today have so much anxiety, it's because what people thought would give them freedom only made them prisoners to the wind. There is a direct connection between anxiety and lawlessness. Having no certainty about anything is the same as being totally insecure. Things that are no longer up for question are things you no longer have to worry about. There's freedom in rules and structure because there's security in it. We may need to think outside the box sometimes but we must not forget that the box is whole point. Believe me it's quite tiresome to have to constantly rediscover the wheel every time you have a problem.
@@dahliaherrod4301 definitely a lesson I learned the hard way. We tug at the threads of our reality at our own peril. Our society is organized the way it is because people over thousands of years have arrived at what works best. It's funny how so many people who believe in the scientific method are so quick to throw out the data collected for millenia by our ancestors in the grand experiment called life. Our ancestors didn't arrive at their conclusions for no reason and laws, especially God's laws, are in place for our benefit not to enslave us but to free us from harmful consequences. I like the box we live in because it is safe and secure, the box being the safety and security we enjoy tucked under the wings of Christ. Some unbelievers say they don't believe because they only want the truth, but how does that truth serve them? Does it help them at all to only believe in what they can prove? And in a godless point of view how much does the truth count for anyway when ultimately they and any so-called truth they have will cease to be. Truth counts more for us than it does for them. And if the truth is that our beliefs comfort us and give us peace whereas their truth gives them only anxiety and uncertainty, then whose truth is better? If our truth yields greater benefit, even regardless of whether actually true(it is but they don't know that), doesn't that suggest it is the greater truth and is true from top to bottom? It's spiritually true which means it is true for us regardless of physical truth because we are what occupies the flesh not the flesh itself. Our spiritual life is not sustained by physical truth but by spiritual truth and that is "every word proceeds from the mouth of God". Truth without God to give it life is a barren wasteland and like Jesus said "when a spirit comes out of a man it goes to a dry place". The universe without God is a desert. But anyway if you have read this far thanks for listening and I am sorry for the length. May the Lord bless you abundantly with every fruit worth having in Jesus's name!
“The weird guy at the party, the pervert” so true bro😂😂, I definitely don’t want to be that guy, and a lot of times I don’t think people know that they are that guy you’re talking about. I’m glad you said it like that, I’m really seeing how unattractive it is to be in bondage. Like ew, it’s not the move. It’s not cute
Alcoholics anonymous meetings, start with the serenity prayer, the steps in the program follow the christian values of repentance, asking forgiveness of those you have harmed and making recompense for the things you have done. i totally agree with the Dr. replacing the bad stuff with love of Christ is the only way to freedom from addictive habits, mine was smoking, until i was a pot-head, i met Christ, who stopped me like a finger click
Jesus healed me from smoking, drinking and a whole lot of things. And yes I do not identify as a smoker or any of these things. I am a Child of God. The Holy Spirit guides us to better habits!
Just want to say woman watch porn too, it isnt just 'young men'; literally know a 28 year old woman who has a whole hard drive of porn, she admits to this while we play online games. Shes been a loner her entire life and struggles forming intimate relationships- and i bet shes NOT the only one. Pointing this out cause we seem to always lump porn addiction and consumption with men
This video goes hard! I could make so many clips from this video alone. I recently found my faith in God and I've overcome a few addictions so I guess it just hit me differently.
Gotten close to fully replacing. Almost made it a year before, at times can go for a months and then go back to it. Hate it. Being married, wish this would be handled but my spouse lost her drive with me and when her health was not good I was able to handle cause my mind was able to understand she couldn't be intimate. It was when healthy and witholding messed with my mind and then her actions and words hurt me overtime so would go back. Came to a place I dont have someone to release with even though married so its a cycle that wore me down over the years. I fall into burn with passion so its good to be married. Fyi, my wife has no anger with my porn issue and never upset her. Lost at this point and dont have the want to try anymore due to mental exhaustion. Wish I could go back in time and make better choices (like most people)
Praying for you, brother. Same situation with me. Burning of up with no outlet. Even though I'm married, my wife is not interested most of the time, which causes me resentment to her and myself. Prayer does not work on sexual desires for me I have faith that the Lord has a plan for me or that his grace is enough always. Though I'm heavily convicted to be more disciplined and not abuse my Lords Grace More then once I think back to when Jesus says if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out.... I'm like this better be a parable lol
My story might be the exception to the rule. For me, it came in two parts. The first part was with corn. A friend of my spoke truth and said that the reason we don't watch corn isn't because it's good for us, it is because we love God more than it. When he spoke that to me something in me died. I haven't watched corn since. I still dealt with lustful thoughts and eyes (especially at waterparks). God asked me to give up fapping for a year, which was not what I expected. I did it. Three months later, he asked me to give it up for life. I still can't believe that I gave both up, but it is fantastic, especially for my marriage. I didn't replace it with something else.
I've managed to avoid the act, but the problem is I miss it. Sometimes I'll be feeling free of lust, and I call it back because I miss it. It's like my mind wants me to fail. It's not like I have nothing else going on in life, it's just that nothing seems comparable to lust and the pleasure it promises, even though that promise is false.
I was addicted since I was 11. I had to go to Pure Life Ministries in Kentucky because I was rebelling against the Lord even though I believe I had accepted Jesus at 5. The Lord broke me there and I found freedom from it 5 years ago now. I’m 33, married, and have 2 wonderful little girls.
I can attest to this too. A great book also is Every mens battle. The body is attach to the spirit as the spirit is to the body. Anyone who knows about brain plasticity will understand the brain creates new roots as neurons when you create new habits. The hard part as God said it is breaking the old with new, is not a one day thing but an everyday thing, i have been battling porn addiction for 17 years. You must slowly cut off things out, people say once you profess christ you are save, but saving is an everyday process, this is why Paul speaks of running a race, you train and train everyday, just like lifting weight, you do it often. You might not like it but theres no change if YOU dont decide to cut off things. Specially with lust and porn, woman will become dangerous for a time specially in this age.
Justification and sanctification are not the same thing. One is instantaneous and the other happens over time. Other than that I agree with your comment.
I'm a Catholic. What I find helpful, daily Mass (rise early to get in breakfast 1 hour before daily Mass), work, regular exercise, and praying the rosary before bed. I can't receive the eucharist in a state of mortal sin, which I would consider pornography and self fornication to be in that category, so going to daily Mass gives me the self accountability to make it to the next day. Dr. Petersen is right. Replacement is the key. For me, it was adding daily mass, exercise, and prayer. Repetition pays dividends. I think that's the secret ingredient of the rosary.
I used to be a heavy porn user and hardcore drug addict but porn started to disgust me years ago before I got clean and these days I only watch porn when I buy crack which is pretty rare these days. I'm on a path to compete abstinence from both with the Lord's help. It can be done but you have to want to change or it'll never happen.
John 12:25 KJV He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. Luke 16:13 KJV No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I struggle with porn. I watch it for dopamine, I watch it because I'm trying to fill voids, I watch it because sometimes I feel like it's the only thing that makes me happy. I watch it because I wasn't happy (sexually) in my marriage, I watch it because I feel it is my identity.... I've gotten better over a few months as my faith was stronger. I've struggled with my faith and have gone back... I hate admitting it, but a reason I don't quit porn is because of my lack of faith. My lack of faith is because of several things. One...I just don't want to have to quit and give up pleasure (identity etc) for something I'm not sure is real. I don't want to believe in something and find out I've been tricked. I have no idea how to explain to anyone why Christianity is the correct religion, over many others. I feel as if God is hiding and isn't there...I'll read and pray and feel like there's just no one there listening...I hate this feeling.
@@camonly849 The rosary is a meditative prayer on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Just look up "how to pray the rosary" and you will find it. Prayer works!
Damn why u gotta hit us with the last part 😩 except that I’m 21, described my problems. I know I need to work on my loneliness/social anxiety but idk how anymore. I lost a lot of friendships and even a relationship cuz I became Christian and our beliefs didn’t align anymore but damn I hope I’m not like this till I’m 40+
go to the young adult hangouts at your local church! Also sit with Jesus in adoration at a Catholic church and he will enter your lonliness. God bless!
I won’t be free to marry for another five years or so. I guess I need to be motivated to make positive changes even though I’m stuck in a less than ideal situation.
The founder of AA may have had ties to a Christian organization but he was not and said he lifted the AA principles from pagan beliefs and was inspired to stop drinking when he had a vision at a seance
@@peaceandlove544 the opposite of what? you think all the men who started aa were indeed Christian? even though a quick google search will tell they were agnostic men who were at one time part of a Christian organization but after having a vision at a SEANCE, was inspired to start aa and created the 12 steps from ancient pagan beliefs which include making God into whatever “version” of Him you see fit. I’ve been to AA you don’t need any 12 step just surrender to Christ and He will take away all your burdens. Don’t judge yourself and call yourself an alcoholic that’s just playing God
I made a list & PRAYED to quit drugs, alch, corn…it didn’t happen over night & it’s a daily battle tbh but when I grow closer to God I don’t want to sin. daily prayer. cold plunges, fasting, eating clean, regular minimalist shoe walks. I am seeing a transformation before my very eyes and I don’t know what the Lord has planned but I’m sticking by his side
Addiction is a spirit such as the spirit of lust. Matthew 12:43-45 43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
I found my way back home to Jesus just before Easter. Since then, I haven’t masturbated or watched porn after having done both at least daily for over 20 years. I’m tempted but I just don’t want to commit that sin.
@@bluecomb5376 No. What Ruslan was talking about at the very end of the video. Not being anxious around people, or women, or with socializing and whatnot.
Don’t edge bro, I’ve made that mistake. Give lust an inch and it will take a mile. The only way to quit is to keep yourself so busy that you basically have no time or attention to give to it. Find some hobbies and goals that you are passionate about and dedicate all of your free time to developing them. Just imagine what your future partner would want for you. Would they want you to be on your purpose and motivated, or constantly seeking self gratification. I know it’s easier said than done, but you need to get serious about what you want. Today’s world is constantly filled with triggers that if you don’t take action to remove them you will be blindsided by them constantly. Stay strong, go to God in prayer, and keep the faith. He will help you through this ✝️
Where does the Bible talk about pulling out weeds and replacing them with good seeds? 😅 I thought it said some of us are choked by the weeds, which is a metaphor for the cares of the world and the satanic culture … But that’s not talking about replacement of habits… In my experience, replacement doesn’t actually work. Not if you intend on replacing for the sake of replacing, at least.
I know why you use the word corn instead of p**n, but when I read that title, I can't help but think of some dude obsessively gnawing at corn on the cob, crying because he is so full of corn, yet can't stop eating it.
what about people who are severely injured and recovering and mostly bedridden, i’m a good looking guy but that’s not gonna work with a woman, jesus christ the cross i have
I'm sure the trick is to get married, and no longer our sexual acts will be sinful, because we can spend that sexual energy with our partner in marriage
Yeah... In practice it's rarely that marriage is the end of sexual immorality/addiction/desire Being married my wife is maybe interested in sex once a month. For me it's everyday... This gap causes me to resent her...
@@lordlubu21 maybe try to explain that to her that you can make sacrifices for her if she will sacrifice more time to be with you more often, come to an agreement if possible, negotiate, and work it out. There is literally scripture in the Bible that can solve this if she still really will keep it from you.
@@lordlubu21it’s also maybe possible for yourself to distract yourself with hobbies in the times that you perhaps agreed to withhold from your sexual activity, so that it becomes bearable and manageable for you so that you are not so down bad so often
You put so many links in your description but I can’t find the link to the actual interview your interrupting too often, for far too long. This channel screams “me, me, me”
One thing art (nudity) is not porn. Porniea is prostitution. If ur engaged in a sex act i.e. oral anal physical touching etc That's porn. But I will not label basic nudity as porn. Granted Lust is a figment from Latin. And a mistranslation Romans 7.7. Lust is covet. (Epithumeo) desire
@Treityn. I believe so. It doesn't make sense that god created us nude. Gave us all the biological wiring to find the opposite sex appealing Then tchrist says mathew 5 28. (For the church to go oh u can't even look sexually at any women) They say burning with passion and marriage... But here's the issue if u can't be.atracted sexually how do u burn with passion. Logic doesn't track. Modesty isn't just about sexuality. Should u be nude at church. No. But ya when u consider the logic.
Yeah and then have sexless marriage 🤣 Women tend to not have the drive of men. My wife maybe ready to go once a month. For me it's everyday. So no marriage is not the end all be all fighting lust
Around 6:25 or so you say something like faith for faith sake is useful, I’m not really sure how your defining faith. I understand faith to be trust or allegiance to someone or something. You seemed to have made it into a trueism. Maybe I have misunderstood and if so my apologies.
I referenced power of habit and the 12 steps. As did Jordan Peterson (when he says religious experience he’s not speaking exclusively to An encounter with Jesus) my point is Jesus is even BETTER. The christian is encounter the God of the universe.
God. Period!🙏 replace it with God. If you believe in God, praise and worship him. And be grateful for him no matter what. In good times and in hard times. If you dont believe in God then you have no purpose in life Live your life knowing God is watching you.
Your not one, your many sub-personalitys. Your sub-personality of lust is its own person. But you also have a sub-personality that is orientated towards the Highest Good. You need to realize that the you that watches porn is not you, or at least not the general you. You need to say to the porn/lust-sub-personality ‘You cant get in anymore, its my or you.’ And then you won't have any more issues.
Ok, but what happens when you suffering from same sex attraction and want to lead a righteous lifestyle. The journey to quit just seems impossible. It's not like I want these feelings but i don't date or do anything so literally adult cinematography is all I have. It sucks but that's reality
Learn some trades. Get a hobby. Volunteer your time. Everyone has things that they struggle with. People with same sex attraction often times feel sorry for themselves. Some folks were born with mental or physical disorders. Do you think they got a fair shot? You will be okay but you have to put it out of your mind that you HAVE to do this sin and that you’ve been given an unfair hand.
It's kind of obvious if you quit something the time you spent doing that thing is going to be spent doing something else instead. That's hardly an insight?
Dude enough with “CORN”, just write “P*rn”. More Americans actually consume corn which is delicious. This channel is the most unnecessarily censored thing I’ve seen on the entire internet.
I realize that this seems petty but because of the pointless and superfluous sound bits (beeps, booms, etc) I am unsubscribing. I try to watch your videos but can never finish, because of the extremely obnoxious and pointless sound bits. I just can’t stand it, they cause me anxiety and distract from the meaningful message.

Was cool till you disparaged people for having social anxiety at the end.
I saw this just now. I sinned again and went straight back to that evil. I’m so tired of it. I hate it so much. I want to get clean and get rid of this sin. I need to spend time with the Lord, and not stay in places I know will tempt me. If I stay up too late or am by myself with my phone it’s a temptation. I’ve gotta avoid these things.
Stay strong. I know it’s difficult, I have been struggling off and on with it as well. It’s really important to figure out what your triggers are and to find ways to avoid them. I finally had to admit that gaming and other hobbies that I love can be triggers for me as well. Praying consistently is vital. And most importantly remember that God will always forgive you if you truly want to change. Take the necessary actions. I decided recently that I am going to do a 90 day fast from gaming and other distractions to get more into my Bible Study, prayer and purpose. I recommend taking drastic action if you are serious. Find what motivates you and use it to get out of this hole. I’m praying for you 🙏
It's a daily battle man, continue to fight the good fight praying for you and others.
Mastermyhabits website is also really helpful. You got this! I’ll be praying for you!
God bless!
It's going to get better. There is redemption and salvation in Jesus Christ. Run to Christ. Run to the Lord. Follow hard after Him. He is the only one who can truly set you free from sin, and if not set you free, give you peace in the midst of it. If you're constantly running from your sin, your focus is constantly going to be on your sin. But if you're constantly running to Jesus, and chasing after Him, your focus will constantly be on Him. So don't run from your sin - instead, run continually toward Christ. Be broken over your sin, allow your heart to be contrite over it, but don't allow the enemy to shame you for giving in. Don't allow Satan to deter you from spending time with God. I can say from personal experience that this change in mindset and perspective have not gone so far as to free me from the grip of lust and pornography, but have definitely helped me to see them as non-issues in the light of God's grace. (not saying that sin isn't an issue, just that I'm no longer concerned that I sin and instead choose to trust that the Lord will free me from it).
"Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me" I just repeat this manta Jesus said until the temptation leaves.
This is a good one thanks
It’s not a “mantra” it’s the WORD of GOD! Which is the way , truth and life ✝️🫶
That's meditation and prayer combined in the most fundamental sense. Meditative prayer.
I have struggled with this all my life. I became a born-again, baptized Christian six years ago but it was not until the last few months that I have finally overcome it. My personal experience is that sexual sin should not be tackled independently. It is the symptom of a broken mind. We must transform our lives and renew our minds through the word of God so that sexual sin does not appeal to us anymore. Our lives become so full of love and joy that sexual sin becomes not only unnecessary but also repugnant. The reason is, as long as we still find it attractive, relapse is always possible whatever we do to stay away from it. Praise the Lord. I am a living testimony to the fact that this prevalent and pernicious sin can indeed be conquered, for nothing is impossible for God.
What did you do to finally overcome it?
@@dahliaherrod4301It certainly wasn't one single thing and it certainly didn't happen overnight. The best way to describe it is I tackled the root of the problem - our lives. I discovered that we committed sexual sin to make our lives manageable temporarily. Since it's a temporary solution, we would soon be trapped in a vicious cycle. That's what addiction is about. However, l have now discovered that there are things in my life far more profound and fulfilling, such as meaning, joy and relationships, and sexual sin has become totally meaningless. Not only that, l actually find it obnoxious in the core of my being. I have actually moved past the stage where I was simply subduing my urges, because I truly don't have any urges anymore. It has now become an anathema to me, very much like smoking or drinking. God bless you.

How do I find it disgusting. I am a born again Christian teen how was saved in late janurary and was delivered from masturbation, smoking weed and several other addictions but it’s like they started to creep back as of recent. The weed has been washed away but I’m still having problems with pornography and I don’t want to be something I have to wait years to get delivered from I want to get rid of it now. I’d appreciate any help man
@@RonaldMa-bk9ti I appreciate your wisdom on this matter. I haven't truly tried to deal with the matters in my life that push me to seek unhealthy and sinful coping mechanisms. Obviously there's no way around it and your testimony is one more push I need to force me to address them with Jesus' help. Thank you and God bless you!
Sounds like what Paul the Apostle said, “If you walk in the Spirit (replacement thing), then you won’t gratify the desires of the flesh.”(Replaced thing). Gal. 5:25
Porn literally almost destroyed my entire life. JP says your addiction will kill you and I seriously felt that. I don’t want to fully explain it because it was the most terrifying and traumatic experience I’ve ever had, and for fear of it happening again. I was literally scared straight and am two days clean now. Stay strong brothers and sisters, porn is evil, and will grip its fingers of sin around you until you’re at rock bottom or even further.
Lord, I pray anyone struggling with this temptation will be free from its grips in order to live a more virtuous life for you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏼 ✝️❤️
I struggled with this for years, but I finally managed to break the cycle. It's important to understand that sin separates us from God, and when we willfully sin, we enslave ourselves to our own desires. We become prisoners of our own sin, and the only way to free ourselves is to reject this sin and fully accept God's will and mercy. When you are convicted by the Holy Spirit, you don’t have the same desire to sin as before.
It isn’t sin, though.
Lusting after a woman that belongs to someone else and desiring her like David did is a sin. Masturbation would’ve kept David from sinning if he did it instead.
@@LateGrabber everyone belongs to someone else whether they realize it or not. Just because you don’t knows who’s bike is at the bus stop doesn’t mean you take it
As a woman, I’m not sure it’s as openly talked about but the book genre erotic romance has exploded. It’s segued readers into much darker content that’s more accepted and embraced by woman then any other time. It’s as addicting as corn and extremely deceptive. I wish more women could talk about this 😔
Men are visual. Woman are emotional
Totally agree, but didn’t realize it until it was pointed out to me a few years ago. I still read books with a romantic aspect to the story line, but skip over the corn pages. I am always amazed at how many pages are wasted on this and don’t feel I lost any of the story line without it. Actually, I find it odd when I read a series and after the third or fourth book, suddenly they start devoting entire chapters to this stuff.
@@kailee5694 I agree with you, It’s now that the books are dedicated to graphic scenes and honestly the story line is second. IMO Fifty Shades of Grey was a gateway to harder elements for women that made it feel acceptable and cool.
@@Johnrider1234 True and women can be visual too. It’s why women watching corn has doubled.
I remember reading a Stanford study saying AA had the highest success rate for quitting alcohol, and that counciling has a very low success rate.
I personally came to Jesus and haven't had a drink since that moment! Praise the one true God!
As someone who was addicted since 15, and I was saved nearly 7 years ago. The only thing that's stopping you from quitting your addiction is how willing you are to be obedient. That is all.
Are you willing to obey the Holy Spirit to the point of pain?
Humbling oneself to participate in the sacrament of confession is a very freeing thing
I’m glad you brought up the twelve steps having ties to faith.
Not only ties but origins
15 years ago I was instantly and permanently delivered from masturbation through theophostic prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Praise God! Lust has still been a struggle, though not nearly to the extent it was before.
How did that work for you? Can you describe what happened?
I went with my wife to pray with a mentor from my church. Theophostic prayer is a fancy way of saying you ask God to reveal the root of something. Did that, asked God to reveal the lie, reveal the truth, renounce the lie, proclaim and agree with the truth, repent. Walked away feeling no different. Had prayed many times before about this. For whatever reason on that day it was real, and is real. I stopped being a slave, it was no longer a part of my identity, still isn't. A couple of months after I did "fall" into masturbation again, but it wasn't the same. It's been over 15 years now since I last did that thing that made me feel less. To me this is just as much a miracle as a spontaneous physical miracle, which has also happened to me since. Jesus Christ is real.
@@chadparsons50 could I ask what the specific lie was and the truth?
I had a very similar experience nearly a month ago. Jesus delivered me from a decade-long addiction to marijuana and porn/masturbation. Masturbation was a near daily occurrence and I was stoned so often that sobriety literally became my alternate state of mind. After attending an apologetics conference at a church in a nearby city, I cast aside my pride, humbled myself and cried out to Jesus with tears running down my face, “please, Jesus, take these sinful desires away from me!” He did just that. I haven’t indulged in either of my addictions since, nor do I have any desire to. Jesus saved me from something I tried, and failed, to save myself from for years! He is so faithful. That was just over three weeks ago. Ironically, my first day of sobriety was 4/20/24, a day that I had historically smoked the most during every year since I started years ago. For those that don’t know, in cannabis culture, 4/20 is basically a day of celebrating everything cannabis-related. Not only is Jesus full of grace, mercy and love, He clearly has a sense of humor. Our God is SO great!
@@user-gx4wi4cv2m It's been awhile, but I believe the lie was that I needed it, that it was a part of me. The truth is I am a good son by God's grace, and that that sin is not who I am. I think confession isn't just owning up to sin, it's also stating the truth of God for that situation as a declaration.
P.S. Forgot to mention that part of the process is asking the Holy Spirit to show you the first instance of this sin in your life, the root. Law of first mention type thing.
Praise Jesus! This was so good and needed! Thank you!
This woulda been wild to see 7 years ago for me. When I started drinking. I remember I read the 12-step book at 21 but the second it said God I closed the book and never opened it again. Apart of me said "Oh Ima do this myself I got this". 6 years later I realized my mistakes lmao. So far been sober from drinking for like 8 months or something haven't kept track just stopped. Life turned around, I went from homeless to 6 digits in the bank which to me is crazy cause it's like, you wish you did it sooner even if you know if you went back the same thing would happen again. The wild thing is that when I started diving into theology learning about history and religions is when my drive for wanting to drink stopped. After that, for job and lotta other stuff, personal religious experiences came into play. But it's true. Getting into religion tbf really does stop alcoholism.
Oh so great! Ordered the book , makes so much sense. So clear to see how I’ve replaced where I’ve had victory, lead by my love for the Lord.great Chanel!,
Only when I came to God and started praying was I able to stop my addiction for p*rn. I was introduced to it when I was around about 9 and I had been watching it off and on for around 14 years, give or take a year. Now that I have recently become a Christian I have weapons at my disposal to combat sinful thoughts and prevent myself from giving into any lustful urges.
There is no wonder as to why young people today have so much anxiety, it's because what people thought would give them freedom only made them prisoners to the wind. There is a direct connection between anxiety and lawlessness. Having no certainty about anything is the same as being totally insecure. Things that are no longer up for question are things you no longer have to worry about. There's freedom in rules and structure because there's security in it. We may need to think outside the box sometimes but we must not forget that the box is whole point. Believe me it's quite tiresome to have to constantly rediscover the wheel every time you have a problem.
This is the best explanation for rules I've come across and very much so resonates with me
@@dahliaherrod4301 definitely a lesson I learned the hard way. We tug at the threads of our reality at our own peril. Our society is organized the way it is because people over thousands of years have arrived at what works best. It's funny how so many people who believe in the scientific method are so quick to throw out the data collected for millenia by our ancestors in the grand experiment called life. Our ancestors didn't arrive at their conclusions for no reason and laws, especially God's laws, are in place for our benefit not to enslave us but to free us from harmful consequences. I like the box we live in because it is safe and secure, the box being the safety and security we enjoy tucked under the wings of Christ. Some unbelievers say they don't believe because they only want the truth, but how does that truth serve them? Does it help them at all to only believe in what they can prove? And in a godless point of view how much does the truth count for anyway when ultimately they and any so-called truth they have will cease to be. Truth counts more for us than it does for them. And if the truth is that our beliefs comfort us and give us peace whereas their truth gives them only anxiety and uncertainty, then whose truth is better? If our truth yields greater benefit, even regardless of whether actually true(it is but they don't know that), doesn't that suggest it is the greater truth and is true from top to bottom? It's spiritually true which means it is true for us regardless of physical truth because we are what occupies the flesh not the flesh itself. Our spiritual life is not sustained by physical truth but by spiritual truth and that is "every word proceeds from the mouth of God". Truth without God to give it life is a barren wasteland and like Jesus said "when a spirit comes out of a man it goes to a dry place". The universe without God is a desert. But anyway if you have read this far thanks for listening and I am sorry for the length. May the Lord bless you abundantly with every fruit worth having in Jesus's name!
A lot of people say theyre living free but are really in a sea of chaos
“The weird guy at the party, the pervert” so true bro😂😂, I definitely don’t want to be that guy, and a lot of times I don’t think people know that they are that guy you’re talking about. I’m glad you said it like that, I’m really seeing how unattractive it is to be in bondage. Like ew, it’s not the move. It’s not cute
Alcoholics anonymous meetings, start with the serenity prayer, the steps in the program follow the christian values of repentance, asking forgiveness of those you have harmed and making recompense for the things you have done. i totally agree with the Dr. replacing the bad stuff with love of Christ is the only way to freedom from addictive habits, mine was smoking, until i was a pot-head, i met Christ, who stopped me like a finger click
Jesus healed me from smoking, drinking and a whole lot of things. And yes I do not identify as a smoker or any of these things. I am a Child of God. The Holy Spirit guides us to better habits!

Great interview. JP bringing people closer to God
Ruse... I LOVE THIS. Thank you for your incredible insight
Needed this
Just want to say woman watch porn too, it isnt just 'young men'; literally know a 28 year old woman who has a whole hard drive of porn, she admits to this while we play online games. Shes been a loner her entire life and struggles forming intimate relationships- and i bet shes NOT the only one. Pointing this out cause we seem to always lump porn addiction and consumption with men
This video goes hard! I could make so many clips from this video alone. I recently found my faith in God and I've overcome a few addictions so I guess it just hit me differently.
I needed to hear this. Thanks.
I love this discussion about replacement. I REALLY would love a deeper dive into this!!!! Bless
Pure gold, thank you so much for this content. It’s wise, biblical, applicable and shareable 🫶🏻✝️
Gotten close to fully replacing. Almost made it a year before, at times can go for a months and then go back to it. Hate it.
Being married, wish this would be handled but my spouse lost her drive with me and when her health was not good I was able to handle cause my mind was able to understand she couldn't be intimate. It was when healthy and witholding messed with my mind and then her actions and words hurt me overtime so would go back. Came to a place I dont have someone to release with even though married so its a cycle that wore me down over the years. I fall into burn with passion so its good to be married. Fyi, my wife has no anger with my porn issue and never upset her. Lost at this point and dont have the want to try anymore due to mental exhaustion. Wish I could go back in time and make better choices (like most people)
Praying for you, brother.
Same situation with me. Burning of up with no outlet.
Even though I'm married, my wife is not interested most of the time, which causes me resentment to her and myself.
Prayer does not work on sexual desires for me I have faith that the Lord has a plan for me or that his grace is enough always.
Though I'm heavily convicted to be more disciplined and not abuse my Lords Grace
More then once I think back to when Jesus says if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out....
I'm like this better be a parable lol
Great video!
"Anything learned can be unlearned, if replaced."
Amen brotha
God took this addiction from me many years ago, but you have to ask God with everything in you to take it from you, He can do it, I am proof.
As usual, another great video by Ruslan. Appreciate all you do!
My story might be the exception to the rule. For me, it came in two parts. The first part was with corn. A friend of my spoke truth and said that the reason we don't watch corn isn't because it's good for us, it is because we love God more than it. When he spoke that to me something in me died. I haven't watched corn since. I still dealt with lustful thoughts and eyes (especially at waterparks). God asked me to give up fapping for a year, which was not what I expected. I did it. Three months later, he asked me to give it up for life. I still can't believe that I gave both up, but it is fantastic, especially for my marriage. I didn't replace it with something else.
Very very well put bro! Love this!
Another W Ruslan! 🔥
I've managed to avoid the act, but the problem is I miss it. Sometimes I'll be feeling free of lust, and I call it back because I miss it. It's like my mind wants me to fail. It's not like I have nothing else going on in life, it's just that nothing seems comparable to lust and the pleasure it promises, even though that promise is false.
Another great message! Thank you!
Awesome stuff
I was addicted since I was 11. I had to go to Pure Life Ministries in Kentucky because I was rebelling against the Lord even though I believe I had accepted Jesus at 5. The Lord broke me there and I found freedom from it 5 years ago now. I’m 33, married, and have 2 wonderful little girls.
I can attest to this too. A great book also is Every mens battle. The body is attach to the spirit as the spirit is to the body. Anyone who knows about brain plasticity will understand the brain creates new roots as neurons when you create new habits. The hard part as God said it is breaking the old with new, is not a one day thing but an everyday thing, i have been battling porn addiction for 17 years. You must slowly cut off things out, people say once you profess christ you are save, but saving is an everyday process, this is why Paul speaks of running a race, you train and train everyday, just like lifting weight, you do it often. You might not like it but theres no change if YOU dont decide to cut off things. Specially with lust and porn, woman will become dangerous for a time specially in this age.
Justification and sanctification are not the same thing. One is instantaneous and the other happens over time. Other than that I agree with your comment.
I'm a Catholic. What I find helpful, daily Mass (rise early to get in breakfast 1 hour before daily Mass), work, regular exercise, and praying the rosary before bed. I can't receive the eucharist in a state of mortal sin, which I would consider pornography and self fornication to be in that category, so going to daily Mass gives me the self accountability to make it to the next day.
Dr. Petersen is right. Replacement is the key. For me, it was adding daily mass, exercise, and prayer. Repetition pays dividends. I think that's the secret ingredient of the rosary.
This is why Celebrate Recovery is incredible because it's a 12-step program that is specifically with Christ.
Replace porn with prayer. Pray for Gods help. Create friction get your computers out of your room.
There are thousands of women and men out there making the content. Maybe we should address that and find some help for them too.
“Forgive them for they know not what they do”
I used to be a heavy porn user and hardcore drug addict but porn started to disgust me years ago before I got clean and these days I only watch porn when I buy crack which is pretty rare these days. I'm on a path to compete abstinence from both with the Lord's help. It can be done but you have to want to change or it'll never happen.
It’s hard!!! But hang on to Jesus he will walk with you.
Jesus bless you all
I need to break this habit
John 12:25 KJV
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Luke 16:13 KJV
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I definitely couldn’t quit this on my one. Will power never works. A 12 step program is pretty much the only way to quit.
I struggle with porn. I watch it for dopamine, I watch it because I'm trying to fill voids, I watch it because sometimes I feel like it's the only thing that makes me happy. I watch it because I wasn't happy (sexually) in my marriage, I watch it because I feel it is my identity....
I've gotten better over a few months as my faith was stronger. I've struggled with my faith and have gone back...
I hate admitting it, but a reason I don't quit porn is because of my lack of faith. My lack of faith is because of several things. One...I just don't want to have to quit and give up pleasure (identity etc) for something I'm not sure is real. I don't want to believe in something and find out I've been tricked. I have no idea how to explain to anyone why Christianity is the correct religion, over many others. I feel as if God is hiding and isn't there...I'll read and pray and feel like there's just no one there listening...I hate this feeling.
Give the rosary a try for nine days. Commit to 9 days and I believe it will start to change your life.
@@bluecomb5376 what is that?
@@camonly849 Prayer works. Trust me. No rosary required. God is not asking for that.
@@camonly849 The rosary is a meditative prayer on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Just look up "how to pray the rosary" and you will find it. Prayer works!
12:28 AMEN
About corn he opens up with edging 😂🎉
Im so fed up with this. I want freedom
Damn why u gotta hit us with the last part 😩 except that I’m 21, described my problems. I know I need to work on my loneliness/social anxiety but idk how anymore. I lost a lot of friendships and even a relationship cuz I became Christian and our beliefs didn’t align anymore but damn I hope I’m not like this till I’m 40+
go to the young adult hangouts at your local church! Also sit with Jesus in adoration at a Catholic church and he will enter your lonliness. God bless!
When there is addiction there is always an evil spirit.
so the smoke in the back makes me think there is some other things going on in the back....😁😃😯
I won’t be free to marry for another five years or so. I guess I need to be motivated to make positive changes even though I’m stuck in a less than ideal situation.
I need to know where JP got his suit 😮
His suits are fly for sure
He has them Made. He has one with catholic holly art
There's a video clip where he tells Matt Fradd about who makes his suits.
The founder of AA may have had ties to a Christian organization but he was not and said he lifted the AA principles from pagan beliefs and was inspired to stop drinking when he had a vision at a seance
I think is The opposite
@@peaceandlove544 the opposite of what? you think all the men who started aa were indeed Christian? even though a quick google search will tell they were agnostic men who were at one time part of a Christian organization but after having a vision at a SEANCE, was inspired to start aa and created the 12 steps from ancient pagan beliefs which include making God into whatever “version” of Him you see fit. I’ve been to AA you don’t need any 12 step just surrender to Christ and He will take away all your burdens. Don’t judge yourself and call yourself an alcoholic that’s just playing God
I made a list & PRAYED to quit drugs, alch, corn…it didn’t happen over night & it’s a daily battle tbh but when I grow closer to God I don’t want to sin.
daily prayer. cold plunges, fasting, eating clean, regular minimalist shoe walks. I am seeing a transformation before my very eyes and I don’t know what the Lord has planned but I’m sticking by his side
Addiction is a spirit such as the spirit of lust.
Matthew 12:43-45
43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
I found my way back home to Jesus just before Easter. Since then, I haven’t masturbated or watched porn after having done both at least daily for over 20 years. I’m tempted but I just don’t want to commit that sin.
My moms an alcoholic too.
You don't have to tell me why corn's so hard to quit - it's got the juice.
I can’t imagine a different life for myself at this point…
a different life from porn?
@@bluecomb5376 No. What Ruslan was talking about at the very end of the video. Not being anxious around people, or women, or with socializing and whatnot.
For the algorithm
Bro I’ve been edging for a week its so hard for me to completely stop
The fact you're in a fight shows you're on the path. You got this. Keep going.
When you’re tempted, just call upon the Holy Spirit to give you strength so that you may not be enslaved to your own desires
Don’t edge bro, I’ve made that mistake. Give lust an inch and it will take a mile. The only way to quit is to keep yourself so busy that you basically have no time or attention to give to it. Find some hobbies and goals that you are passionate about and dedicate all of your free time to developing them. Just imagine what your future partner would want for you. Would they want you to be on your purpose and motivated, or constantly seeking self gratification. I know it’s easier said than done, but you need to get serious about what you want. Today’s world is constantly filled with triggers that if you don’t take action to remove them you will be blindsided by them constantly. Stay strong, go to God in prayer, and keep the faith. He will help you through this ✝️
Where does the Bible talk about pulling out weeds and replacing them with good seeds? 😅 I thought it said some of us are choked by the weeds, which is a metaphor for the cares of the world and the satanic culture … But that’s not talking about replacement of habits… In my experience, replacement doesn’t actually work. Not if you intend on replacing for the sake of replacing, at least.
I know why you use the word corn instead of p**n, but when I read that title, I can't help but think of some dude obsessively gnawing at corn on the cob, crying because he is so full of corn, yet can't stop eating it.
whats with the hypebeast jacket?
Not a podcast goes by where Matt doesn’t mention porn, he brings it up more than Jocko with jiujitsu lol
That's crazy

I'm sure the trick is to get married, and no longer our sexual acts will be sinful, because we can spend that sexual energy with our partner in marriage
Yeah... In practice it's rarely that marriage is the end of sexual immorality/addiction/desire
Being married my wife is maybe interested in sex once a month.
For me it's everyday...
This gap causes me to resent her...
@@lordlubu21 maybe try to explain that to her that you can make sacrifices for her if she will sacrifice more time to be with you more often, come to an agreement if possible, negotiate, and work it out. There is literally scripture in the Bible that can solve this if she still really will keep it from you.
@@lordlubu21it’s also maybe possible for yourself to distract yourself with hobbies in the times that you perhaps agreed to withhold from your sexual activity, so that it becomes bearable and manageable for you so that you are not so down bad so often
You put so many links in your description but I can’t find the link to the actual interview your interrupting too often, for far too long. This channel screams “me, me, me”
One thing art (nudity) is not porn.
Porniea is prostitution.
If ur engaged in a sex act i.e. oral anal physical touching etc
That's porn.
But I will not label basic nudity as porn. Granted
Lust is a figment from Latin. And a mistranslation
Romans 7.7. Lust is covet.
(Epithumeo) desire
So it’s possible to just simply admire it strongly? Hahahaa, I admire things strongly some days, and other days I have more than admiration
@Treityn. I believe so.
It doesn't make sense that god created us nude.
Gave us all the biological wiring to find the opposite sex appealing
Then tchrist says mathew 5 28.
(For the church to go oh u can't even look sexually at any women)
They say burning with passion and marriage...
But here's the issue if u can't be.atracted sexually how do u burn with passion.
Logic doesn't track.
Modesty isn't just about sexuality.
Should u be nude at church.
No.
But ya when u consider the logic.
Young men and women should GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah and then have sexless marriage 🤣
Women tend to not have the drive of men.
My wife maybe ready to go once a month.
For me it's everyday.
So no marriage is not the end all be all fighting lust
0:41I see what you did there
Why call it corn? Definitely a bad habit but it’s not really a bad word, either way I support the message but I’m curious
So they don't get demonetised
Yeah UA-cam is a bee scotch.. so you gotta jumped the rope so often
Around 6:25 or so you say something like faith for faith sake is useful, I’m not really sure how your defining faith. I understand faith to be trust or allegiance to someone or something. You seemed to have made it into a trueism. Maybe I have misunderstood and if so my apologies.
I referenced power of habit and the 12 steps. As did Jordan Peterson (when he says religious experience he’s not speaking exclusively to An encounter with Jesus) my point is Jesus is even BETTER. The christian is encounter the God of the universe.
God. Period!🙏 replace it with God. If you believe in God, praise and worship him. And be grateful for him no matter what. In good times and in hard times. If you dont believe in God then you have no purpose in life
Live your life knowing God is watching you.
Your not one, your many sub-personalitys. Your sub-personality of lust is its own person. But you also have a sub-personality that is orientated towards the Highest Good. You need to realize that the you that watches porn is not you, or at least not the general you.
You need to say to the porn/lust-sub-personality ‘You cant get in anymore, its my or you.’ And then you won't have any more issues.
Ok, but what happens when you suffering from same sex attraction and want to lead a righteous lifestyle. The journey to quit just seems impossible. It's not like I want these feelings but i don't date or do anything so literally adult cinematography is all I have. It sucks but that's reality
Learn some trades. Get a hobby. Volunteer your time. Everyone has things that they struggle with. People with same sex attraction often times feel sorry for themselves. Some folks were born with mental or physical disorders. Do you think they got a fair shot? You will be okay but you have to put it out of your mind that you HAVE to do this sin and that you’ve been given an unfair hand.
Lots of people in 12 step programs deal with this. The feelings come from underlying issues.
You should recharge your title it abound be how to change habits or something… this has about 5% how to stop porn more on drinking….
It's kind of obvious if you quit something the time you spent doing that thing is going to be spent doing something else instead. That's hardly an insight?
Dude enough with “CORN”, just write “P*rn”. More Americans actually consume corn which is delicious. This channel is the most unnecessarily censored thing I’ve seen on the entire internet.
Fuuuuuuuuudge sake man STOP PAUSING EVERY 5 SECONDS AND REPEATING WHAT THEY SAID WE HAVE EARS!!!!
I realize that this seems petty but because of the pointless and superfluous sound bits (beeps, booms, etc) I am unsubscribing. I try to watch your videos but can never finish, because of the extremely obnoxious and pointless sound bits. I just can’t stand it, they cause me anxiety and distract from the meaningful message.
God bless/bless God
Well, I didn’t know this was the hill I was gonna die on. Masturbation isn’t a sin. Prove me wrong.
Sorry but that is bs
Occupy yourself get a good habit and hobbie and job and exercise routine you don't have time for internet nor porn
Ruslán? Are you of Russian descent? That’s like the most Russian (Rus) name ever, haha…
