“You’re going to be single forever if you keep watching porn…”
That line hits different—especially if you’ve ever secretly feared it might be true.

In this honest and surprising episode, Richard, Justin, and our guest Ruth Johnson take a wrecking ball to the hidden fear that porn has destroyed your chances at love.

But this isn’t just about sex or singleness—it’s about how porn warps your ability to connect with real people.

Ruth brings a powerful and rarely-heard female perspective on how media marketed as “funny” or “romantic”—from American Pie to Twilight—shaped how she saw men, love, and her own worth.

We talk about:

• Why both men and women can objectify each other without even realizing it
• How porn rewires your brain—and makes healthy relationships harder
• The subtle ways shame keeps you guarded, self-protecting, and disconnected
• And how the gospel frees you to see others (and yourself) as God does: with love, curiosity, and grace.

If you're tired of relational pain, performance masks, or the fear that you’ll never be “enough” for someone—you need this episode.
