Episode 57 – Shame - Part 2 - Shame, Sin, and the Way Out
In this continuation of our series on shame, Jon addresses one of the most difficult and secret struggles pastors face: masturbation. This episode explores:
- Why masturbation often becomes a form of self-medication for anxiety, loneliness, or boredom.
- How dopamine, secrecy, and the cycle of shame entangle leaders and believers alike.
- Why this sin produces such deep shame — from breaking God’s design for intimacy, to grieving the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
- Six example stories (pastor, missionary, teenager, husband, pastor’s wife, and leader) that illustrate the real-world struggles many face.
- The dangerous escalation from hidden habits into affairs — and how sin can spiral out of control.
- A reference to Jon’s Crashing Lyrics song “Song For All Time” — which illustrates the theme of infidelity across decades — and the upcoming song on faithfulness.
- Most importantly: how to stop in the “heat of the moment,” and why the path back to grace is the same for every believer — whether you’ve been free for a day or a thousand days.
You don’t need a secret elevator. You need the same Savior.
