In this episode of Hope Reforged, we delve into the harsh truth that both sides of the pornography screen are prisons—one physical, the other spiritual. We explore the connection between pornography and human trafficking, showing how the demand for porn fuels the exploitation and enslavement of countless individuals.

Drawing from John 8:34-36, Chris and Angela highlight the concept of being a "slave to sin" and how it applies to both addiction and modern-day slavery. This episode is a powerful call to action for anyone struggling with pornography addiction to recognize the bondage it creates on both sides and find a path to reclaiming freedom, restoring relationships, and helping to end human trafficking.
