Oh, yeah.

I mean, I think you're really tapping into something important because the reality is that most people that struggle with porn, like porn is problematic in their life, but porn is not their problem. Like porn is the Band-Aid that they've covered the wound, the lack, the need with, and now the porn has become problematic in their life.

where you started watching porn because of whatever, but it's covering something that's so much deeper. That's why helping people stop watching it, you shouldn't do that. We do stuff that I ought not do all the time. It's so much deeper than that. It's like, why? Why do I do what I do? In contrast of why do I do stuff that I don't want to do? Paul talks about that.

Why do I have this desire to do things I ought not do? Why do I find myself doing these things?

And then you're in. Well, a good trap would have camouflage. Mm-hmm. And I think that's why John 10.10 talks about the enemy wants to kill, steal, and destroy. And you're thinking about if he's going to put you in change, he's not going to show you the full picture of the chain that you will be in. He's just going to show you a link. That link's not a big deal. I love this Dallas Willard quote.

I believe it's Dallas Willard, but it just talks about how repentance seems easy, at first, and then after you sit, it seems impossible. You know? I mean, how, like, there's a demonic assignment on each person. And, you know, I think the, I would say the biggest problem, especially like in like Protestant circles, is this

this negligence or this disbelief that evil can tangibly impact your life as a follower of christ because are we without sin no and when we sin what do we do we we you know essentially invite an opportunity for deception you know so it's yeah i mean i i love uh the way that JP just lays it out there.

He spent two years just talking about Ben or digging into the fact that the devil, you're not interested, you're not interesting to the devil per se, but he's got legions of demons, right? That they know the wounds in your family history. They know the things in which you have a proclivity towards. He knows what kind of trap to set for you. He can't make you take the bait.

They can make it seem enticing. And even more so, once you take it, he can make you believe that it's not a big deal.

Mm-hmm. But yeah, man, back to that moment with Victor, we were doing that retooling prayer, and I was like, I was pretty dismissive of it. And then we did it. And then as soon as he started talking, it was like I was a kid, and I was in a room where... It took me to a moment that I had suppressed as a kid.

I was seven and a half years old, and I heard my mom being hit by this guy that she was married to. And I... The dresser was pressed up against the door. And I was pressing with my forearm against the door. And I got it open just enough where I could see through it. And I saw him hitting her. And I was screaming at him. And I felt so weak and so useless because I couldn't open that door.

And then I cried until I fell asleep. And I woke up. And he was just like, what lie did the enemy tell you? I was like, that I'm not good enough. It was just like... And it was like, so how do you undo? How do you undo something like that? It's like, how do you replace a lie? Well, you have to replace it with a truth. Thomas Kempis talks about habit has to be replaced with habit.

A lie has to be replaced with truth. So I'm like, man, how do I fix this? How do I undo this? How do I, you know, what do I do with this? What do I do with this like new, like unearthed trauma? You know, I've already like been to counseling for two years. You know, I've already, it was like something I didn't deal with. I never even thought of it. I didn't even know it happened really.

And the first thing I could think of was again that dream. When I was praying, you know, that moment I was praying, I was like, man, the reason I don't believe that I'm enough, it came from another lie that my dad wasn't there for me because I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough to be his son. So I'm going to choose to forgive him in spite of of an outcome. And I did.

And I think the enemy... I thought in my head, man, God had orchestrated this incredible moment that I was gonna... When I caught him, there was gonna be fireworks shooting off, and then we were gonna grab some shotguns and go hunting or something. But it was just not the case.

I was talking with a buddy of mine recently, Matt Chandler, and he was telling me a story of him and his dad reconnecting later in life. And I was like, well, how did that happen? And he was like, man, just randomly one day, I just got this inkling to say, hey, Dad, I've got access to this cabin. I'm going out there for three days. Hunt, fish, do all the stuff you love to do.

Why don't you come with me? It's all on me. It's all taken care of. Why don't you come hang out with me? And he did and, you know, ended up professing Jesus as Lord, ended up having a great relationship, even moved closer to him. And I was just like, my dad, like, has a, you know, My dad's office looks like this if it was deer and boar. I was like, he'll be all over that.

Send out a text, look at it, show it to my wife, hit send, 30 seconds go by. I don't think it's going to work. There was so much in me that wanted to take 10 steps back. It's like, man, what do I have to do? But at the end of the day, it's like, man, I can't control his decisions. And I can't control his response to dictate how I perceive reality and live my life.

All I can do is be the best father I can be and the best husband I can be and be the best Christ follower I can be and be the best leader in the organization that I'm part of.

Yeah. I mean, it sucked. You know, it sucked. Like, I thought for sure, like, that was it. But I think a better way to think about it, you know, as I'm sitting here, it's like maybe it was a seat, you know?
