Course: Freedom From Pornography
Speakers: Ryan Miller
Unmasking the Truth Behind Pornography's Influence
Let's talk about where our understanding of sex comes from. Because what we've been told, it's not the whole truth. It's a narrative built on lies, influenced by deeply troubled men.
The Foundation of a Lie
Alfred Kinsey, the so-called 'father of the sexual revolution,' his reports? Fabricated. Skewed. He was a pedophile, a voyeur, a man driven by his own dark desires. He handpicked his subjects—sexual predators, male prostitutes—to fit his agenda. His goal? To destroy the biblical view of marriage and dismantle traditional sexuality. He glorified behaviors that are abhorrent.
Spreading a Harmful Ideology
Then came Hugh Hefner, Kinsey's protégé. He openly admitted Playboy was fulfilling Kinsey's vision. Hefner was warped by Kinsey's 'findings,' becoming his personal publicist, spreading the lies.
Lies in Our Culture
This is why our culture is so distorted. The sexual revolution, built on Kinsey's lies, has shaped everything we see—media, social media, everything. They’ve peddled a fantasy, a lie that there's 'nothing wrong with it.
More Than Just a Moral Issue
It's not just a moral issue. It's physiological. Pornography fries your prefrontal cortex. Brain scans of porn addicts and cocaine addicts? Identical. It's destroying lives, eroding God’s design for marriage and sexuality.
Passing the Damage to Our Children
Understanding the origins of this destructive narrative is the first step toward liberation. Epigenetics shows that you pass on traits to your children. This affects future generations. This is a demonic scheme to destroy what God intended—the reflection of Christ in the church, the picture of the Trinity.
Seeing the Truth and Choosing Freedom
This is not only about personal healing but also about safeguarding future generations. By rejecting the lies and embracing God's design, we challenge the pervasive influence of this harmful ideology.
Reframing Our Perspective
I hope this helps you see the human side of those in the industry. Just like you, they’re hurting and struggling. Porn is an escape that never leads to true freedom.
