Episode Description

Porn addiction rarely survives because of a lack of willpower.

It survives because of the lies we quietly believe.

In this live episode, Mac walks through seven of the most common lies that keep people trapped in unwanted pornography use. Drawing from nearly two decades of personal struggle, over eight years of recovery, coaching conversations, and biblical principles, he explains how these false beliefs shape identity—and how replacing them with truth is the beginning of lasting freedom.

Whether you’re struggling personally or helping someone else, this conversation offers practical encouragement and a path toward hope.
