00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:16,445
Speaker 1: Life Audio from the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat. We

2
00:00:16,485 --> 00:00:19,085
Speaker 1: live in a world where almost anything can be accessed

3
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:21,325
Speaker 1: with the click of a button, and for many people,

4
00:00:21,445 --> 00:00:24,564
Speaker 1: pornography is something they quietly struggle with. But what if

5
00:00:24,605 --> 00:00:27,284
Speaker 1: we looked at this issue differently? What if it wasn't

6
00:00:27,285 --> 00:00:30,805
Speaker 1: only about temptation, what if it was also about compassion.

7
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:33,605
Speaker 1: Every person you see on a screen is a person

8
00:00:33,725 --> 00:00:36,445
Speaker 1: created in the image of God. They have a story,

9
00:00:36,845 --> 00:00:39,964
Speaker 1: they have a name. The truth is many people involved

10
00:00:39,964 --> 00:00:43,925
Speaker 1: in the pornography industry are there because of exploitation. Human

11
00:00:43,964 --> 00:00:47,724
Speaker 1: trafficking and sexual exploitation are real, and when we consume

12
00:00:47,845 --> 00:00:50,685
Speaker 1: something without thinking about the person behind it, we lose

13
00:00:50,725 --> 00:00:54,285
Speaker 1: sight of the humanity God sees. If you are struggling,

14
00:00:54,405 --> 00:00:58,605
Speaker 1: hear this. God's invitation is not shame, it is freedom.

15
00:00:59,085 --> 00:01:02,084
Speaker 1: Jesus came to restore what is broken, and that includes

16
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:05,925
Speaker 1: how we see ourselves and how we see others. For
