In this episode of the Way to Go Podcast, we focus on practical and effective strategies for overcoming porn addiction. Here are the top tips discussed: Accountability: Bring the issue into the open to prevent it from festering. Use an accountability app on your phone that blurs questionable images and sends them, along with any searched verbiage, to your accountability partner. Awareness and Prevention: Be proactive in preventing adult content from entering your home. Stay educated on measures and tools that can help block inappropriate material. Honesty with Your Spouse: Keep an open line of communication with your spouse as another form of accountability. You don't have to share every detail, but honesty can help you stay on the right path. Counseling and Therapy: Understand yourself better through professional counseling or therapy. This can provide insights into your triggers and help you develop coping mechanisms. No More Secrets: Have trusted people you can talk to for support and forgiveness. Sharing your struggles can prevent relapse and help you stay accountable. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV): "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

Join Pastors Bill McMinn and Eric Barfell on the Way to Go Podcast as they delve into the poignant narrative of Barabbas, as depicted in Matthew 27:15-18 and Mark 15:6-13. During the festival, it was customary for the governor to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Among the prisoners was Jesus Barabbas, a well-known figure. Pilate, aware of the chief priests' ulterior motives, offered to release either Jesus Barabbas or Jesus the Messiah. Despite Pilate's hesitation, the crowd, influenced by the chief priests, demanded the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus. Barabbas becomes emblematic of substitutionary salvation, as he is spared from death through Jesus taking his place. However, this reprieve is contingent upon belief, highlighting the importance of faith in salvation. The narrative underscores the human tendency to prefer figures like Barabbas, who cater to our desires, over those like Jesus, who challenge us. It reveals the true motives behind the leaders' actions - jealousy and fear of losing their position. Ultimately, the choice between Jesus and Barabbas reflects a broader spiritual dilemma - whether we align ourselves with truth or with what satisfies our desires. The chant to crucify Jesus echoes through history, serving as a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for brutality and the struggle against sound doctrine. Pilate's reluctance to condemn Jesus highlights the moral complexity of the situation and raises questions about societal culpability in unjust actions. The narrative of Barabbas offers profound insights into themes of substitutionary salvation, human nature, and the choices we make in response to truth.

This week's Way to Go Podcast features Pastor Bill McMinn and Bradly Brobst exploring the profound topic of fasting. Drawing inspiration from biblical examples, the discussion highlights various aspects of fasting: To Show Humility: Drawing from Psalm 35:13-14, fasting is presented as a demonstration of humility before God. Just as Moses and Christ fasted, it is a posture of prayer and reverence. To Show Repentance: Ahab, known for his evil deeds, repented through fasting in 1 Kings 21:25-27. Similarly, the Ninevites, including their king, fasted as a sign of repentance in Jonah 3:5-9. Empowers Prayer: Fasting is shown to enhance the effectiveness of prayer, as seen in Mark 9:28-29 and Ezra 8:21-23. It signifies a humble approach to seek God's guidance and intervention. Part of Revival: In 1 Samuel 7:6, fasting is depicted as part of the process of revival, where individuals gather, confess their sins, and seek to return to the Lord. The podcast emphasizes that fasting involves deprivation of food, forsaking comforts, and maintaining a private practice, as instructed in Matthew 6:16-18. The ultimate focus is on seeking God's approval rather than showcasing one's fasting to others.

Pastor Bill and Eric discuss the first five of the ten commandments. They read them straight from the Bible and then discuss how they relate to everyday life. They dig into Exodus 20: 1-12: And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
