Ep 233 | Christ And Technology—Christians and Adult Content, Part 1
In this episode of Northwood Church Matters, Pastor Matt sits down with Ivan and Kerry to have a real conversation about pornography and its impact on the church. They kick things off by trying to define what pornography even is—spoiler: it’s not as simple as you might think—and talking about how the internet has completely changed how people access and think about it. From the old shame-filled days of sneaking magazines and videos, to the instant, anonymous world of smartphones and OnlyFans, they unpack how the culture around porn has shifted dramatically. They also dig into what the Bible says about sex, lust, and the image of God, and why porn isn’t just a “bad habit,” but something that twists God’s good design. Along the way, they share some eye-opening stats about just how common porn use is, even among Christians, and how it’s no longer seen as a big deal by a lot of young people. They also talk about why people turn to porn, how it becomes a kind of “voluntary slavery,” and why real freedom is possible through Christ. Heads up: this episode covers sensitive material, so it might be best one to play without little kids in the room.
