So I think that's just simply, most of what he said is just factually not true.

When Jesus breathed his last on the cross, St.

Matthew tells us the earth shook, rocks split, tombs opened.

Even creation couldn't stay silent in the face of what was happening.

Easter may have come and gone, but the invitation still stands to let God shake up our lives, to break open the quiet sins we keep hidden, the ones that weigh us down, though no one else sees them.

I've spoken with a lot of men over the years about this, and I'll often ask, what lie do you tell yourself before you look at porn?

And the one I often hear is, I know I'm going to fall into this anyway, I may as well get it over with.

A sort of hopelessness, you know?

And here's the truth.

Porn doesn't wreck your life in one big moment.

It just quietly steals.

It takes your presence, your intimacy, your hunger for what's real.

The woman beside you wonders why she feels unseen.

The kids grow up with a version of you that's distant, distracted.

And if you're not married yet, porn...

Man, porn is already shaping the kind of man you'll be one day.

And trust me, and I know you know this, right?

But that is not the man you want to be.

Here's the good news.

Freedom is real.
