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.

#50 The Pastor's Double Life (And the Gospel That Finally Broke Through)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the guy behind the pulpit is hiding the same sin as the guy in the pew?
In this episode, Richard and Justin sit down with Jonathan Leonardo — pastor, minister, and founder of Love Reality — for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the podcast. Jonathan pulls back the curtain on a decade of double-mindedness: translating Greek in seminary by day, feeding a secret life of lust by night. Traveling to preach the gospel, then using those same trips to gratify the flesh.
But this isn't just a confession episode. It's a breakthrough episode.
Jonathan walks through the shame cycle that keeps so many men trapped — the secrecy, the self-condemnation, the isolation — and explains why more theology, accountability software, and willpower only made it worse. What finally changed wasn't a new strategy. It was a revelation: you were always the son.
If you've been spinning your wheels trying to earn your way out of this thing, this conversation is for you.
In this episode:
- Why seminary didn't fix Jonathan's addiction — it ran alongside it
- The "thin veil" between sexuality and spirituality
- How shame keeps men silent, isolated, and stuck
- The gospel truth that landed like a thousand pounds on Jonathan's chest
- Why identity in Christ is the antidote to the shame loop
- Why freedom is never a solo project
