P*rnography and Christianity are not merely “in tension” with each other. They are fundamentally incompatible. In this video, I respond to the growing claim that someone can participate in or produce explicit content while still living coherently as a follower of Jesus. The issue is not outdated stigma, but the Christian understanding of lust, chastity, marriage, exclusivity, and the human person.
