Just curious... have you ever had to work from home? Maybe you have a flexible schedule that allows you to work at home. Or maybe it's a snow day or your home sick from work.

Is that a threat? Is it a challenge for you to stay porn free?

In part 1 of 2 episodes, we discuss how to work at home without relapsing.

With the podcast's emphasis on personal responsibility, it's easy to think the goal of recovery work is self-reliance. That in order to be strong we need to become emotionally self-reliant.

But this undermines our recovery work and delays emotional healing.

In this episode, I discuss the true goal of recovery.

It's Wednesday!

On today's episode, I share Dave's 5 mistaken beliefs about porn. Dave was featured in PFR 138 when he reached the 2-year porn free milestone.

Earlier this week, he shared 5 mistaken beliefs he had with porn. I asked for his permission to share them with you now.

1.) The next change in my life will make it easier to quit porn.
2.) Porn compliments my sex life.
3.) Porn is a reward. It's "me time."
4.) Porn is a break from work. It's "a mind shot."
5.) Subscribing to porn sites is more efficient.

On this episode of Pornfree Radio we discuss a topic we've never discussed before: Purity. An unlikely subject for a podcast devoted to skipping Christian cliches about pornography and lust.

And yet I was compelled to share because of amazing interview I heard with Christopher West on the Integrity Restored podcast, episode 56.

You may re-think your definition of "Purity" when you hear this episode.
