Have you ever noticed that the moment you start doing something new, stressful, or outside your comfort zone, the urges to look at prn suddenly show up again? In this honest and vulnerable episode, Richard opens up about why launching the Free From Prn coaching program actually increased his urges. Joined by Justin Khoe, they unpack why stress often becomes a hidden trigger and how to process it without escaping.

Together they explore:
• Why p*rn isn’t the problem, it’s the solution you’ve been using
• How stress and new challenges can surface old habits
• The biblical path to regulating emotions without shame
• What Philippians 4 teaches about anxiety, prayer, and peace
• A simple, powerful breathing practice that calms your body and centers your heart in Christ

This episode will remind you that stress isn’t your enemy—it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe, and experience the peace of God that guards your heart and mind.

Listen now to discover how freedom looks even in moments of pressure.

Most people would rather hide than admit they’re struggling with porn—but what if talking about it is the very thing that breaks its power?

In this episode of the Free From Porn Podcast, Justin and Richard get real about embarrassment—why we feel it, how it keeps us stuck, and what happens when we finally stop pretending. Joined by their friend David Hunte, who battled porn for over 40 years, they unpack the role of shame, identity, and community in finding lasting freedom.

David shares how understanding who he is in Christ—and learning to take thoughts captive—transformed decades of secrecy into a testimony of freedom. From “trying harder” to “standing fast in liberty,” this conversation will help you see that your struggle doesn’t define you, and you don’t have to hide anymore.

🎧 In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why talking about your porn struggle isn’t embarrassing—it’s freeing
• How guilt, shame, and condemnation keep you silent (and stuck)
• The identity shift that ends the cycle for good
• Why community and confession are crucial to walking in victory
• How to renew your mind when temptation hits

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t talk about this”—this episode is your permission to stop hiding. Freedom starts with honesty.

We kept the awkward cold open on purpose—because today’s conversation starts messy and turns miraculous. Justin is back after an emergency C-section and a week in the NICU with baby Ezekiel (“Zeke”). Out of that whirlwind, he shares a gospel reframing that changes how you think about sin, shame, and why white-knuckling never sets you free.

Richard and Justin unpack Romans 5 and Titus 2 through a powerful NICU analogy: sin isn’t a slap-on-the-wrist for “spilling the milk”—it’s a condition you were born into. Separation from God isn’t Him arms-crossed at the door; it’s a Father whose heart breaks while He moves heaven and earth to bring you home. The punchline? Your first and most powerful prayer isn’t “I’ll try harder.” It’s one word: “Thank You.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why behavior-first strategies keep you stuck—and what identity-first freedom looks like
• How Romans 5 reframes sin as condition, not condemnation (and why that matters for p*rn)
• The one-word prayer that ends the shame spiral and jump-starts real transformation
• How grace actually trains you (Titus 2) to say no to ungodliness without hating yourself
• A simple way to practice gratitude that rewires your reactions in the heat of temptation
