Man Within Podcast

Often, we talk about the importance of asking "What is porn offering me?" from a heart-level/emotional perspective. Questions like thes give us insights into the more fundamental needs that are being met through our sexual behavior. While useful, they also have limitations. Today's episode explores a new question that has a similar effect from a neurobiological perspective – is porn functioning as a relaxant or a stimulant? Once you can identify the role porn is playing in your neurobiology, you will be able to devise appropriate solutions that will keep your brain happy without getting into trouble.

Today's episode explores a statement that is often seen in scripture, "If you love me, you'll obey my commands." While most interpret this as a 'proof' statement – by obeying God's commandments you prove your love for him – this statement also has a cause and effect layer to it. As we love God more, we become positioned to better obey his commandments.   Join DeepClean Inner Circle Get a FREE copy of my bestselling book, The Last Relapse Follow Sathiya on Instagram

Juli is the author of twelve books, including the newly released "God, Sex, and Your Marriage," and host of the weekly podcast “Java with Juli.” Juli and her husband Mike are the parents of 3 sons; they live in Akron, Ohio. On today's episode, she and Sathiya explore the true meaning of Biblical sexuality, and why this conversation spans far beyond "don't have sex before marriage" and "God designed sex, therefore sex is good." Specifically, Juli explains how the broader narrative of scripture enables us to understand more specific scriptures that address matters related to sex, why everything in creation is designed to reveal God (sex included), and how a Biblical approach to sex permits us to embrace our sexuality rather than avoid it. In the second half, the interview talks about how leaders can both get the help they deserve while also helping those in their realm of care and responsibility get the help they deserve. Dr. Juli is a wealth of knowledge – if you have any interest in better understanding your sexuality through a biblical lens, this episode was made for you.
