In today’s episode of the Free From Porn podcast, Richard and Justin confront one of the most common—but unbiblical—prayers we hear from men in our coaching program:
"God, take away my sexual desires."
But what if that’s not the problem?
What if your sexual desire isn’t a curse to be removed—but a gift to be redeemed?
We talk about:
- Why numbing your desires leads to spiritual and emotional dysfunction
- How Jesus models what it means to feel deeply (without being ruled by feelings)
- Why real freedom doesn’t mean shutting down your sex drive—but learning to steward it in righteousness
- The trap of Christianized stoicism and the myth of “robotic holiness”
- How to stop seeing your sexuality as dirty and start thanking God for it
If you’ve ever begged God to just make it all go away, this one’s for you.
