Every Christian man knows the tension—walking in a broken world while battling spiritual enemies that seek to destroy what God has called good. The war against lust isn't fought with flesh and blood weapons but with spiritual ones that God has already equipped us with. Pornography is a silent destroyer that thrives in darkness.

The real danger isn't just the act itself but how it warps our perception of love, sex, and relationships while driving us away from the very community we need for healing.We're going live every weekday with our Daily Spiritual Kickoff—free and exclusive inside our community.
