As sort of a follow-up to last week’s podcast (How’s Your Heart?), I wanted to post two incredible videos from John & Stasi Eldredge of Ransomed Heart. I really love this couple and the amazing insights they share here about the importance of guarding your heart!

How Honest Can I Be In Recovery?

Does Porn Impact the Brain?
It’s amazing as much research that has been done on the detrimental effects pornography has upon the brain and yet I still hear this question being asked. The short answer is YES. But what actually happens within the brain when a person looks at pornography? Covenant Eyes has taken a really great look at the actual chemicals that are released when a person exposes themselves to something to graphic as pornography. We hope that it helps inform you to see how dangerous this kind of material really is.
Removing The Mask – Brian Johnson
Coming from an addiction, it’s really hard to be honest. To be real. To be vulnerable. We’ve become used to wearing masks and putting on a facade so no one can see inside to what is real. But the reality is that God can see through any mask we try to put on. So why should we be afraid of what man thinks of us? One of my favorite singers & song writers, Brian Johnson, shared in this humorous, yet truthful video about the importance of vulnerability. Enjoy!
