Embrace a process for lasting change! #puredesirepodcast #podcast" containing a spoken message from June 27, 2023. The speaker discusses the challenges pastors face in helping individuals overcome strongholds such as pornography and addictions, emphasizing the need for a supportive process within church culture that fosters lasting change through Christ's work rather than relying solely on personal willpower.

I have talked to many men and women who said I thought if I read more and prayed more that I could just get out of this and until I really stepped into a process that held me in place long enough for Christ to do his work in my life. And I think that's what's missing is we think that well I've told them what to do and if they go do it that's fine. But the problem is in our own willful desire with the stronghold that was in our life, we want to run back. We lean on our own understanding instead of Christ's understanding and we enter back into behaviors that lead to more destruction. Pastors don't often realize that I need to lead a culture in my church that changes how we talk about pornography and other habits and hang ups and addictions and recognize that hey, we have something for you here. We love you where you're at but we love you too much to leave you the same.
