    232. How Porn Impacts Our Relationships
    May 21 2025
    Welcome to episode #232! 🎙️ Pure Victory Podcast: How Porn Impacts our Relationship (Part 2 of Series)In this powerful episode of the Pure Victory Podcast, Braden continues his series on the impact of pornography—this time focusing on how it affects our relationships. While last week explored porn’s effects on the brain, today’s conversation reveals how it dehumanizes others, erodes empathy, and distorts how we view love, sex, and connection.Braden shares how porn creates unrealistic expectations, leading to disconnection in dating and marriage, and ultimately robs us of the ability to see others as God does—with dignity, value, and purpose. He reflects on his own journey and the broader cultural shifts that have normalized porn, even within the church.Yet, this episode is filled with hope and truth. Brad reminds listeners that we are made in the image of God, and no matter our past, there is forgiveness, healing, and freedom in Christ. When we align with God’s design for sex and relationships—rooted in love, commitment, and respect—we can break free from shame and step into deeper, more meaningful connection.🔥 Key Takeaways:Porn fosters selfishness and emotional detachment, especially in close relationships.It creates a false sense of intimacy and trains us to expect unrealistic fulfillment from others.Even within the church, porn use is widespread—but God's grace is greater.Healing begins when we step into the light, embrace community, and rediscover our identity in Christ.🙏 Final Encouragement:You’re not alone. Freedom is possible. With God’s help, your story can change—and your relationships can thrive.

    231. How Porn Impacts the Brain
    May 7 2025
    Welcome to episode #231! 🎙️ Pure Victory Podcast: How Porn Impacts the Brain (Part 1 of Series)Episode Summary: In this eye-opening kickoff to a powerful new series, Braden takes us deep into the science of what porn actually does to our brains—and why understanding this is a crucial step toward breaking free.We often hear about the spiritual or moral consequences of porn use, but this episode zooms in on something many people miss: the physiological side—specifically how porn rewires our brains, alters our decision-making, and even dulls our ability to enjoy real-life pleasures like friendships, hobbies, and intimacy.🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Braden’s first experience with porn and the powerful chemical reaction it triggered in his body.How dopamine plays a key role in addiction—and how porn hijacks this God-designed brain chemical.Why porn leaves us chasing more extreme content over time, and how this mirrors drug addiction.How our brain’s “reward system” can get fried, making real life feel dull and disconnected.The link between porn and rising levels of depression, anxiety, and emotional numbness.What happens when our prefrontal cortex (the decision-making part of the brain) shrinks.Why many people feel "stuck" and out of control in their addiction—and how it's not just about willpower.💡 Encouragement & Hope: You’re not broken beyond repair. God designed your brain with something called neuroplasticity—which means it can change and heal. Even though porn may have rewired your brain, recovery is absolutely possible. With awareness, community, behavioral changes, and spiritual support, you can build new neural pathways toward life-giving things.🔧 Practical Takeaways:Start by cutting off easy access to porn—create “friction” to slow down impulsive behavior.Join an accountability group. You’re not meant to walk this road alone.Make space for life-giving habits like prayer, real relationships, and community.Know your triggers and create a game plan for dealing with them in healthy ways.📣 Next Episode Sneak Peek: Next time, Braden will explore how porn reshapes our views on sex and the opposite sex—and how that impacts our relationships, dating life, and culture at large. You won’t want to miss it.🙏 Final Word: This episode isn’t meant to shame—it’s meant to wake us up with compassion and clarity. There is freedom available. You’re not too far gone. With God’s help and the right tools, you can experience lasting change.
