About this listen
Most of the struggle with porn—and honestly, most of the struggle in life—isn’t the behavior itself.
It’s the psychological torment happening in our minds.
In this episode, Richard Young talks about the power of perspective and how our minds often trap us in unnecessary suffering. We spend so much time trying to manipulate our circumstances so we can finally feel “okay.” When things don’t go the way we want, we spiral—medicating discomfort with porn, alcohol, sex, or endless mental rumination.
But what happens when you zoom out?
When you remember that you’re standing on a tiny planet spinning through space… warmed by a star so massive that 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it… one of 330 billion stars in our galaxy, which itself is just one of trillions of galaxies in the universe.
Suddenly the problems your mind keeps rehearsing start to lose their power.
And yet—here’s the incredible paradox.
The same God who created all of that also sees when a sparrow falls.
He knows you.
He loves you.
And through Jesus Christ, He has already given you a new identity—holy, blameless, and free.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most of our suffering comes from the stories our mind tells us
- How zooming out can break the cycle of mental torment
- The freedom that comes when you stop trying to control life
- Why your addictions don’t have the final say
- How to step out of your head and start actually living the life God gave you
You may be smaller than you think in the grand scale of the universe.
But to God, you are deeply known, deeply loved, and placed here for a reason.
It’s time to stop living trapped in your mind—and start shining.
