The Intersection with Dr. J + Friends

In a culture where sexual addiction is normalized and the Church is often silent, how can communities become places of healing rather than hiding? 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.


With 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.


If 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.

What is The Intersection with Dr. J + Friends?

Intersections are high-traffic areas, with people coming from and heading in all sorts of directions. While intersections are places of potential collision and calamity, they are also the very places where we can find direction and learn where to go. The Intersection is a podcast where faith engages the complexities of our modern world. Though intersections sometimes feel risky, they are where real dialogue happens, they are where we find direction and discover where to go next.
