About this listen

If your freedom hinged on a perfect test score, most of us would be doomed. Good news—it doesn’t. In this episode, Richard and co-host Justin dismantle a viral “SAT success” parable to expose something far bigger: belief shapes behavior. If a lie (a wrong score) can transform a life, how much more can the truth of the gospel rewrite your habits, desires, and outcomes? We walk through Romans 6, laugh at the shame-y scripts that pretend porn still owns you, and trade the “try harder” treadmill for identity-based transformation. You’ll hear the two sneaky lies that quietly prolong a porn habit, the one liberating truth that ends it, and a grace-filled way to process urges without white-knuckling. Listen in, breathe out, and step into what’s already true of you in Christ.

What You’ll Learn
  • Why identity (not IQ or willpower) drives lasting behavior change
  • The 2 lies that keep you looping: “porn has power over me” and “I actually want it”
  • The gospel reframe: “Sin shall not have dominion over you” → how to live that today
  • A simple way to process urges without shame, panic, or self-punishment
  • How to laugh at old scripts and realign to your new heart
