124: Humility and Heart Hunger: A Christ-Centered Approach to Healing Porn Addiction

Most men trying to quit porn focus almost entirely on behavior, but underneath the struggle is often something much deeper:
A hungry heart longing to be filled by God instead of numbed through escape.

In this episode, Shawn and Helena unpack humility, surrender, and what it actually looks like to let Jesus meet the deeper places of your heart.

Using Andrew Murray’s book Humility: The Beauty of Holiness as a foundation, this conversation explores how real freedom grows through dependence on God, intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and learning to empty ourselves of self-reliance so we can be filled with truth and life.

In this episode:

• why heart hunger matters in porn recovery
• how humility creates space for healing and freedom with Jesus
• Helena’s story of coming out of depression through surrender and filling herself with Christ
• the difference between suppressing desire and bringing it to God
• how intimacy with Jesus changes porn recovery, marriage, and parenting
• why lasting freedom from porn requires more than discipline alone
