If boredom sends you to your phone—and your phone sends you to porn—this episode is your reset. Richard breaks down why there’s no such thing as a “dopamine hit,” how novelty drops your baseline and fuels escalation, and how a few simple shifts can raise your baseline so books, prayer, and family time feel rich again.

You’ll learn:
• Why peaks/novelty lower your dopamine baseline (and motivation)
• How boredom + scrolling quietly funnels you back to porn
• The “turn your phone into a phone” rule that disarms triggers
• Practical resets: no-phone mornings, room-parking your phone, long-form without a second screen
• The gospel frame: dead to sin, alive to God—welcoming urges and answering with truth

We end with a prayer to trade peaks and valleys for steady joy in Jesus. Share this with a friend who says, “I relapse when I’m bored.”
