Ep 1239 | The Robertsons’ Best Advice for Avoiding Pornography

from Unashamed with the Robertson Family · host The Robertson Family

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore one of the Bible’s most sobering warnings about sexual sin through the story of King David. The guys explain why pornography and sexual temptation rarely begin with desire alone, but with idleness, boredom, and abandoning responsibility—long before the “rooftop moment.” Al explains David’s repentance in Psalm 51 as both a warning and a hope, reminding listeners that while sexual sin carries real consequences, God’s covenant faithfulness still offers a path back. In this episode: 1 Samuel 13, verse 14; 1 Samuel 16, verse 7; 2 Samuel 7, verses 8–16; 2 Samuel 11, verses 1–27; Psalm 22; Psalm 23; Psalm 51; Psalm 139, verses 13–16; Matthew 12, verses 43–45; Hebrews 12, verses 28–29 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.
