The Numbers Don't Lie

from Intentional Guy Hosted by Michael Chestnut

75% of Christian men report viewing pornography. 82% say no one is helping them. This isn't just a pornography problem—it's a silence problem. In this episode of The Intentional Guy Podcast, Michael Chestnut tackles one of the most difficult and important conversations facing the church today. Drawing from research by Barna and Pure Desire Ministries, Michael explores the reality of pornography's impact on Christian men, women, pastors, and the next generation. But this episode goes beyond statistics. Together, we examine what Scripture teaches about lust, sexual sin, and purity through the words of Jesus, Paul, Job, and one of the most overlooked chapters in the Bible—Proverbs 7. Over 3,000 years ago, Solomon described a young man slowly walking toward destruction, making small compromises that eventually led to devastating consequences. His warning is just as relevant today as it was then. If you're struggling in silence, carrying shame, or wondering if freedom is possible, this message is for you. You are not alone. Freedom begins when secrecy ends.
