Summary

In part four of our deep dive into the Beyond the Porn Phenomenon report, we’re joined by Dr. Sean McDowell to discuss the subtle dangers of denial and rationalization around pornography within Christian communities. Dr. McDowell shares insights from his years of research and experience in helping the church engage with this difficult topic. We address questions around why so many feel “comfortable” with their struggles, the vital role of recovery ministries, and how the church can create a compassionate, welcoming space for true transformation. Join us for a conversation that sheds light on a subject too often left in the shadows. Dr. Sean McDowell is a renowned professor, author, apologist, and a contributing voice to Beyond the Porn Phenomenon.

0:00.0	Hello, hello, good listener and welcome to the Pure Desire podcast, your biblically based
0:12.0	and clinically informed approach to healing from betrayal and breaking free from compulsive sexual
0:17.5	behavior. I am your host, Nick Stumbo, and you are listening today to
0:21.6	episode 385. And today is part four of our series on the report beyond the porn phenomenon.
0:29.6	And joining me throughout the series has been my co-host, Mrs. Ashley Jameson. Ashley, welcome
0:34.5	back. Good to see you. Hi. I just noticed you were looking at the camera and

1:29.7	incorporate into what he learned with the study. And so I'm really excited to share this
1:34.7	episode and just the conversation we had today around this topic. Yeah, he's a deeply biblical
1:40.4	thinker, you know, Christian worldview. And I think that's kind of his angle of helping us think through some of these issues through that lens. And so we did, we asked him a lot of
1:49.9	questions today about the contradictions. Like people said this and they said this. Like, how do people
