Episode 311 * Reversing the Curse w/ Drew Boa

"While I don't want to advocate for indulging the urges, I want to champion the deeper desires and the longings and the aches that are behind those urges.  With whatever type of porn you might find attractive or arousing, or whatever has been your particular version of it, underneath that is a good and holy beauty and strength that comes from God, and if we can tap into that, then we can bless it and we can express it in healthy ways and we can actually get what we were created for this whole time."

Nate interviews Drew Boa (HusbandMaterial.com) about the importance of our story and the process of outgrowing porn.
