Fighting Lust: Beyond Pornography (EP. 237)

Men of Iron Podcast

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donate Justin and Tony are back on the pod for the final week of our series on Lust, Sexual Addiction and Pornography. Today we are talking about fighting lust, not porn. What exactly is lust? Lust is a strong, intense desire for something. Lust replaces God's design for intimacy and connection with sinful desires that are outside of His creation. When we get outside of those bounds, it leads to death and destruction. We take what God intended to be natural and we change it for our selfish gain. How are you honoring the image of God in other people? Remember, when you look at a woman lustfully, that is God's daughter. "I've mad a covenant with my eyes." Job 31:1 (NIV) Ultimately, our eyes connect to our brain, our thoughts connect to our heart and desires. Lust starts with what we see and think. It's not just a physical thing, lust is a bigger deal than just pornography. We have to approach the issue holistically – mental, emotional, spiritual, etc. Despite all the messiness and brokenness you may be facing, there is grace! God wants the best for YOU. You cannot overcome sexual addiction on your own.
