Welcome to episode #179! This week, Matt and Braden talk with Jacob Valk, the co-producer and co-founder of the documentary called "Into The Light". They\'ll go into what it\'s about and the heart behind it this documentary to help men and women find freedom from porn.\\xa0

What is Into the Light?

Into the Light is a teaching documentary on freedom from pornography. It walks through the process of change: from bondage in sexual sin all the way to freedom in Christ. It is a resource for strugglers and the local church. It can be watched in a whole session or broken up into \\u201cChapters\\u201d or Episodes.\\xa0

It is for men and women.\\xa0

There is a disservice being done to women in regards to porn addictions. It can often be referred to as a \\u201cman\\u2019s issue\\u201d which when brought up in public or during a sermon allows women to think: \\u201cyou\\u2019re kind of a freak to struggle with a man\\u2019s problem\\u201d or \\u201cyou\\u2019re not worth being included in the conversation.\\u201d The gospel that saves men from sin is the same gospel that saves women from sin. Men and women struggle and the steps to freedom are the same.\\xa0

What are the Steps to Freedom?

The documentary refers to some conceptual steps that need to take place. Each episode goes through one of these concepts and takes you on the journey to healing and freedom.\\xa0

1. Know your enemy and what you\'re dealing with. Talk about sin.\\xa0
2. What did God design marriage/sexuality for? Talk about the good and know the good to have that foundation to go the rest of the way.
3. Why do you crave this? What is the posture of your heart?
4. What strategies/practical ways you can follow through with what your heart needs?
5. How do you keep the momentum up?\\xa0
6. The church together needs to fight pornography.\\xa0

The first step for someone if you are struggling is to confess to God. Only after that should you find the godliest person you know and confess/open up to them so they can help you chart a course going forward. We don\\u2019t need to be cleaned up before we go to God.
