Men and Lust

Men and Lust What does a man lose when he gives himself to lust? In this episode of Men’s POD, we take a deeper look at the cost of lust through the story of Judah in Genesis 38. Judah thought he was simply satisfying a desire, but in the process, he surrendered three significant things: his signet, his cord, and his staff. And that raises a bigger question for every man: What are you giving away to satisfy what you could have disciplined? Lust can cost a man more than his peace. It can affect his identity, authority, relationships, direction, integrity, and capacity to lead. This conversation is not about shaming men for having sexual desires. Desire is human. The issue is what happens when desire becomes the master and the man becomes its servant. We explore the hidden cost of lust, the things men unknowingly surrender when they refuse to govern their desires, and what it means to reclaim self-control and become a man who can be trusted with his desires, his relationships, and his responsibility. You may think you are only losing a moment. But what else are you putting down to have it? Men’s POD, Real conversations. Honest perspectives. The making of men.
