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.

#25 The Good Tree Test: Identity Before Behavior
Are “big BUTs” sabotaging your freedom? Not those glutes—the tiny word that sneaks in after truth: “I know I’m free in Christ, but…” In this episode, Richard Young and Justin K. dismantle the sneaky “but” statements that keep you married to an old identity. Drawing from a recent church trip to Texas, they walk through Romans 6, Revelation 1, and Jesus’ “good tree” metaphor in Matthew 7 to show why a healthy tree (you, in Christ) produces good fruit—and how the “but” often reveals the real lie you’re believing.
You’ll hear a live coaching moment where a brother realizes he doesn’t actually believe he’s a “good tree,” why all-or-nothing thinking (hello, 75 Hard) fuels shame and relapse, and how to let good fruit ripen with patience instead of quitting at the first stumble. The episode closes with a hopeful prayer, rooting you again in your union with Jesus.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to spot the “BUT” that’s blocking transformation
- Why identity (“good tree”) precedes behavior (“good fruit”)
- A grace-based way to handle setbacks without starting over
- Practical steps to take thoughts captive and agree with truth
