This is a special crossover episode. Taken from my interview with Jacob Walda on the Death to Life podcast, and it fits so well with what we talk about here that I had to bring it over to Free From Porn.

Jacob opens up about struggling with lust when he was younger, and the two moments that actually broke him free. Not tactics. Not blockers. A real revelation of who he is in Christ.

He talks about growing up believing he was basically a monster just for being a man. How a well-meaning safety training left him thinking he was guilty just for noticing a woman existed. And then one moment during an altar call, where God told him not to move, that completely rewired how he saw himself.

This is a conversation about the difference between managing sin and actually being free from it. About identity instead of restraint. About diligently seeking God instead of just believing the right things on paper.

If you've ever felt like you're just a bad guy trying to behave, this one's for you.
