In this episode, Dave Rubin and I have a chat before we go off the grid for the month of August. As two people whose careers are intertwined with the internet and social media, we've found that a month disconnected from the noise of the worldwide web creates a fresh perspective and a clear focus on what's truly important in life. We also discuss: - How cell phones and the internet have become almost godlike over the last 20 years - Why a month offline creates more authentic, in-person interactions - Why you don't need a grand plan when you go off the grid; it could be catching up with friends or reading the books piled on your nightstand - And many more reasons why a month off the grid benefits the mind and soul!   Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!   SPONSORS Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/   GIVING Patreon or Directly: https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/  This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

I felt it was important to record this video. This is airing in the middle of Pride Month, and Catholics need to have the courage to stand up for Church teaching and state that they cannot support Pride Month. Now to be clear: the Church does NOT say we should hate people who experience same-sex attraction. It DOES say that we ought to treat them with respect and compassion. But that does NOT mean we can say their actions themselves are properly ordered. So first we're going to take a quick look at what the Catechism actually says about this topic. Then I'll offer you some hope by showing you messages from bishops who are publicly taking a stance for the Catholic Church's teaching on sexuality.   Download my FREE ebook, "You Can Understand Aquinas," now!   SPONSORS Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/ Homeschool Connections: https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/   GIVING Patreon or Directly: https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/  This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Last week I became the most hated man on the pro-free-speech social network Minds.com because of a video I posted making the case for banning porn on the social network.I’m against poisonous, toxic things be they vaccines, 5G radiation, heavy metals in “health" supplements, shampoo-rife with endocrine disruptors, or porn. And apparently, a lot of libertarian kind of people are very resistant to the idea that porn is anything less than sacrosanct. So I’ll make the scientific and philosophical case here that it’s absolutely toxic and not speech by any coherent reasoning…Everything mentioned herehttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/books/475-the-porn-myth Order bookhttps://amzn.to/3ucpopaConfused?If you invest at least $100 in your Biohacking via LimitlessMindset.com, I will include a 30-minute free Biohacking consulting call with you.

During our conversation, Fradd said that if we give our children devices without proper filters, we are basically giving our children portable X-rated theaters. This should alarm everyone, as should the growing acceptance of pornography and the influence it is having on our culture. Pornography is a pervasive problem that affects all of us, making this conversation with Matt Fradd essential listening.Topics discussed include: Why should people reject pornography? (5:20); The real problem with porn isn't nudity (6:55); The role of imagination in apologetics (6:55); His personal experience with pornography and why Fradd is so passionate about the topic (11:00); How pornography rewires our neurological pathways and contributes to issues such as anxiety and erectile dysfunction (14:30); The need for Christians to return to natural law in order to adequately combat the secularism of our day (17:30); The importance of historical literacy in the church and the need for Christians to unite around the essentials (21:15); Understanding the etymology of pornography and the difference between pornography and art (24:30); At what age should we begin talking to our children about pornography? (27:30); Addiction to pornography and the increasing number of women becoming addicted to pornography (29:45); The problem with the idea of couples using pornography to “increase intimacy” (32:00); Dopamine, addiction and pornography (33:50); The idea of Christians fighting porn with science before morality as a “Gulliver Strategy” (37:30); The myth that pornography is empowering to women (40:55); Is masturbation a disordered act and intrinsically unhealthy? (44:50); How culture has influenced long held Christian views on marriage, contraception and an “openness to life” (46:45); Does consuming pornography lead to sexual aggression or violence? (51:55); The desensitization pornography causes often leading to a slippery slope and more deviant types of porn (54:10); Strategies to protect our children from porn and educate them about the dangers of pornography (56:10); Why Fradd wrote The Porn Myth from a non-religious perspective (1:03:00); Learning how to deal with a desire to watch pornography (1:06:15); The impact pornography use has on our marital relationships (1:08:00); Advice for anyone struggling with pornography (1:11:10); The critical importance of talking to our children about pornography (1:14:20); Closing words on the growing acceptance and dangers of pornography (1:17:25).
