Free From P*rn
This isn’t another “try harder” purity podcast.
It’s not about white-knuckling your way to freedom or stacking up shame-fueled accountability check-ins.
This is about transformation.
Real, lasting, gospel-centered freedom from pornography—not someday, but today.
Hosted by former addicts turned freedom coaches, Richard Young and Justin Khoe, Free from Porn is a no-shame, no-fluff conversation rooted in one bold truth:
If Jesus has set you free from sin, then porn doesn’t get to define you.
Each episode exposes the lies keeping you stuck, renews your mind with truth from God’s Word, and helps you walk out the freedom you already have in Christ.
Expect raw honesty, biblical clarity, practical strategy, and stories from people who’ve actually broken free—not because they got stronger, but because they started believing what Jesus already said was true.

#11 Stop Asking God to Take Your Desires Away
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode of the Free From Porn podcast, Richard and Justin confront one of the most common—but unbiblical—prayers we hear from men in our coaching program:
"God, take away my sexual desires."
But what if that’s not the problem?
What if your sexual desire isn’t a curse to be removed—but a gift to be redeemed?
We talk about:
- Why numbing your desires leads to spiritual and emotional dysfunction
- How Jesus models what it means to feel deeply (without being ruled by feelings)
- Why real freedom doesn’t mean shutting down your sex drive—but learning to steward it in righteousness
- The trap of Christianized stoicism and the myth of “robotic holiness”
- How to stop seeing your sexuality as dirty and start thanking God for it
If you’ve ever begged God to just make it all go away, this one’s for you.
