A Hard Look at a Distorted Reality
I recently heard a story about a young woman who slept with 100 men in 24 hours, and my heart broke for her. Maybe being a girl dad has softened me, but I immediately thought about how she has no idea how special and unique God made her.
What she rationalized as normal behavior is a lie straight from the pits of hell, and it’s devastating. How did the enemy become so successful at corrupting what God created as the most intimate connection between a husband and wife? It’s heartbreaking to see this distortion defended and normalized by grown adults.
I often talk to men who are struggling with pornography, and many find encouragement simply by bringing it into the light. I think of it like beachball theology—if you’ve ever tried to hold a beach ball underwater, it works for a while. But eventually, you slip, a wave comes, or you get tired, and the ball shoots right back into your face. Hiding sins like indulging in porn is the same.
