 There's nothing in here. Maybe you've noticed the trend on YouTube too. I've spoken about it before But there is like an epidemic or pandemic. Maybe that's okay. Maybe it's just epic Epidemic of videos on Christian YouTube, right? The Christian YouTube circles About modesty. It is an astounding amount. You would think like The based on the amount of videos here, it's like with mind-blowing, right? You you I want you to do a little experiment here searching YouTube Christian modesty and you will be just like flooded Okay, with all these videos on modesty now. I don't want you to get get it wrong here or get it twisted I'm not some guy coming in. You're like, you know the white knight like don't talk about women's modesty They can wear whatever they want and nobody should have anything to do with that. That's not my take at all Okay, number one. I think modesty is important, but what I think guys need to stop doing is Obsessing so much about what girls wear or their modesty tons of these videos are guys You know, and I think they have good, you know, like I've made videos about modesty too, right? But my take is always like guys we need to reframe this conversation so often the conversation of modesty is framed around You know how the person dresses in context to the opposite sex when it actually should be how do I am I dressing in Context to my relationship with God like how does that reflect God? How would God want me to dress? How can I best honor God as opposed to thinking completely about the opposite gender and not making people stumble and all All that where the conversation usually Sits in but the bigger thing is here and part of the reason that I think we should cool it at least of as Christian guys on the modesty talk and passing blame on lust and all that kind of thing is because there is a there's a real epidemic of people that are addicted to pornography and it is astounding like Guys, you know if you like you got to look at the numbers to really be able to get a grasp on this But it's like 80 90% of Christian guys Are looking at pornography on a consistent basis and maybe that's not a surprise to you, but when I heard that It just kind of reaffirmed in my mind that we have bigger fish to fry and don't get me wrong I think modesty is important I think we can have that conversation But before you as a guy, you're like, you know, you're thinking oh man It's so hard like all these girls are just not wearing enough clothes and it's tough for me to you know Stay pure in my heart all that kind of thing and yet you go home and you look at pornography Bro, that's on you like that's that's on you to To to deal with that in your own life before you start passing the blame to somebody else And I realize this is not just an issue for guys to a significant amount of women still like struggle with Pornography so I want to completely acknowledge and say hey guys like we got to be not so Not so quick to pass the blame But we got to be able to acknowledge where we're struggling in our own lives And I don't say that to say like hit you over the head with a baseball bat Like okay, you're a piece of trash because you're you're watching this stuff. I think it's bad I think it's sinful, but I also think it's important that we understand the different Causes that lead us to that point. It's not just lust It's also like lies that guys are believing and girls are believing that this will give me Connection or this will cure my loneliness or this will make me feel you know a sense of Intimacy or this will give me a sense of wholeness or peace or escape Like all these things that porn is promising and it never delivers as it as it promised and I think it's just it's Tragic it's absolutely tragic I guess I just want to say like let us as each individual Hone in on what what we're dealing with in context to our relationship with God as opposed to Trying to either pass the blame on other people or or thinking a lot more about what other people You know their perspective of it or what are they dressing or they're leading me down this path or all that kind of thing Start thinking about it in terms of our relationship with God because that's both the case in pornography and modesty It's like if you want to dress modestly you should be thinking not like oh man How should you know would Devon want me to dress or whatever like you want to say how would God want me to dress like that's Because that's who you're dressing for in terms of pornography. It's not like oh man They're leading me down this path because they're not doing their part and and they're not being a good Christian And that's tough on me and that's why I got to go this place. No, it's like, you know what? I can't control other people But I can I can hone into how I can serve God and this is an issue that I need to deal with personally and And we're gonna go ham on it because we're not gonna let it destroy us because I got news for you If you're dabbling in pornography It will destroy you it will and I've seen so many people's comments like on some of the stuff I'm posting they're like no dog like it's no big deal like I like you know, I don't have any of those Like I talked about You know sometimes when people get in pornography they experience just like you know loneliness depression anxiety all these kind of things And and this guy's like oh, I don't experience any that actually I feel good about and I feel all that and I'm like Okay, that's fine But those those kind of mechanisms that like the guilt and the shame and the anxiety and the depression that come from Constant porn use the usage. That's just kind of a mechanism to say something ain't right here And if you've lost that that that just means that you've been kind of desensitized the point where you're not Experiencing that anymore. It's still wrong. You still got a break free, but I'm so man I'm just like broken-hearted over the fact that we're here, but also I would like us to Focus on more on as like a community of Christian content creators And I think we're doing a great job at this recently for a while It was just like as I was saying like modesty content and that kind of thing in terms of like the purity conversation But now we're talking about the biggest issue of our day, which is pornography and I think that's great And I think that's important and let's continue on that conversation and when questions of modesty come up Yeah, let's have those conversations too, but let's not get it twisted and start passing the blame on to other people when It's actually our own hearts that we got to start with Anyway, that's all I had to say today. I know it's kind of a rant And yeah, anyway, that's all I got. I appreciate you guys who support me who like comment and subscribe And support me on patreon. Thank you guys.
