And that's exactly what we're going to do today. So, let me introduce you to our guest, Parker Hymas.

November is No Porn November. It's a challenge. I used porn 30 years ago; never again after something I discovered. It's been a blessing. If you don't use porn, you know someone who does. We need to go through some of the facts about this. We start with a known liar, the CEO of Target, whose company is selling clothes that are the result of a porn-soaked culture. On CNBC, Brian Cornell lied about the marketing Target has done to target children with gender ideology and satanic themes. Why does his lie matter so much in relation to porn? I will explain that because there is a direct correlation. We also hear part of an interview from a brave young woman on Fight The New Drug's podcast where she shares her experience of being raped and exploited for a porn website.What does God's Word say? Genesis 2:2424 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.Ephesians 5:33 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.Hebrews 13:44 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.1 Corinthians 6:99 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men1 Corinthians 6:1818 Flee from sexual immorality.

Listener discretion is advised.Jane Doe grew up in Washington state with a loving family, never expecting that she'd be victimized by one of the largest trafficking schemes to date in today's mainstream porn industry. Twenty-one days after her 22nd birthday, she boarded a flight to San Diego that, unbeknownst to her, would change her life forever. That day, she would become one of the hundreds of young women who had been exploited by GirlsDoPorn (GDP), a wildly popular “amateur” porn production company that garnered well over a billion views, ranking around the 20th-most popular channel on Pornhub, and reportedly generated an estimated $17 million dollars in revenue.

We also talk about how you can help prepare and protect your children from this destructive sin. Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” Rom 6:6 “We know that our old self[a] was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.” 1 Cor 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” What encouragement do we have for the Church, for those listening?[Tit 3:4-7 ESV] 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.And since this is the truth!Lay it aside! [Heb 12:1 ESV] 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,Flee from it[1Co 6:18 ESV] 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.Kill it dead and gone once and for all[Rom 8:13 ESV] 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.Draw near to god and believe the truth.James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.Not even a hint of it[Eph 5:1-3 ESV] 1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.Confess & Repentance and prayer.Make it a practice to confess and be honest about when you are weak and struggling. Pray with each other for strength and transformation in that area. And repent fully and truthfully. Repent from choosing this sin. Repent of the desire for it. James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. how to protect our children, how to equip them when it happens, and how to be open to talk about it with them. Talk to them about how to protect our bodies.Teach them how to protect their eyesDont let them have unattended time on devicesTeach them how not to look or use other people's devices.When the time is right tell them about itTeach them about God's design for sexuality.Dear Lord, Thank you for giving us freedom in Christ. Thank you for breaking the bonds of sin and death and for making it possible for us to walk with Jesus and be reconciled to you. You are so patient and kind to us and it is that kindness that leads us to repentance. Lord, help us to walk in purity every day and to grow more and more sensitive to the wicked things of this world. Lord, we pray for every husband and wife who may still feel enslaved to pornography and have believed the lie that they are. I pray they would believe the truth that they are already free. That they can choose to walk in the freedom and purity you died to give them. Open their eyes to the truth. Convince them that your sacrifice, your spirit, and your word are sufficient for us and that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. Renew us transform us and make us more like your son Jesus. Lord, tear down the stronghold the enemy has over the porn industry. Bring freedom and salvation to all those involved dissolves the influence it has in the church. Convict the hearts of those who continue to choose this sin and bring them to their knees before your throne. Lord, purify your church.In Jesus' name AMEN!
