In this episode, Justin chats with pastor and author Noah Filipiak to confront the reality of pornography—its widespread impact, its (spiritual) cost, and the hope of recovery rooted in Christ.\n\n\nWith honesty and pastoral insight, they explore how pornography distorts intimacy, fuels cycles of shame, and deceives both men and women—often starting from a tragically young age. They unpack how addiction alters the way we view relationships, why conversations about sex and accountability should be regular parts of discipleship, and how the Church’s reluctance to engage these topics leaves many struggling alone. From the link between porn and human trafficking to the dangerous myth of “harmless” consumption, Justin and Noah advocate for grace-filled honesty, vulnerable community, and the kind of practical support that makes sobriety sustainable.\n\n\nIf you're looking for a conversation that doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff—and believes in the transforming power of grace and truth—this episode offers challenge and hope.\nBooks + Alumni Community www.beyondthebattle.net\nPodcast - The Flip Side with Noah Filipiak \nFormal bio & website: https://www.noahfilipiak.com\nResources: \nCovenant Eyes https://www.covenanteyes.com\nAccountable2You: https://accountable2you.com/\nCanopy: https://canopy.us/\nSheRecovery: https://sherecovery.com/\nHer Freedom Journey: A Guide Out of Porn and Shame to Authentic Intimacy by Juli Slattery Book ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UoEukPwtht7z4FL1RKXWn4i07t6jUNjkNUDA9Qx4dB8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMTQw/ZjA3ZmFkZGFiYmE4/MGRjNGI3NmUwN2Vm/MTRjMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
