This episode isn't your typical p*rnography conversation. John-Michael and Jacob Vaulk of Into the Light Ministries bring grace, hope, and unwavering truth to this conversation. They are the producers of an incredible crowd-funded documentary on bringing p*rnography and s*xual sin into the light to be met by God's love and transformation. And news flash: This isn't just a "guy" problem. Women struggle too, and you don't have to live in shame. Listen in for a conversation on why this isn't talked about enough with women, the hope that the gospel brings through heart change, how to handle technology and erotica, and even how to prepare your children for the dangers of p*rnography.You won't regret watching the documentary, free to you and crowd-funded: https://www.intothelightdocumentary.com/Connect with Into the Light and what they're doing with amazing people like David Platt, as well as other future resources: https://www.instagram.com/intothelightdocumentary/--Check out Brilliant Earth today at https://www.brilliantearth.comHatch is offering our listeners $20 off your purchase of a Hatch Restore 2 and free shipping at www.hatch.co/truthtalks.
