⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY
THE HARD TRUTH: This ain't your typical "just say no" conversation. Three men dive deep into the devastating pipeline from pornography to human trafficking, sharing raw insights from the frontlines of Internet Crimes Against Children investigations and ministry rescue work.
GUEST: Judd Granzow - Former pro athlete (LA Dodgers draft pick, UT football championship '98), founder of P3 Ministry, current pastor at Highland Park Church
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW: 115 million people visit porn sites DAILY. 83% of viewing happens on smartphones we hand to our kids. The progression is predictable and devastating.
🎯 PORN PREVENTION ACTION STEPS
For Parents
Have uncomfortable conversations because you love them
Install blocks AND educate why
Create shame-free zones for confession
Model healthy masculinity and relationship with God
Address the heart, not just the behavior
For Men Struggling
Acknowledge you can't do this alone
Find older, godly men to mentor you
Root your identity in Christ, not your struggles
"30 days clean and everything becomes clearer"
Reach out - even strangers will honor your vulnerability
For Communities
Start talking about it - make uncomfortable conversations comfortable
Support organizations fighting trafficking
Attack both supply (production) AND demand (consumers)
Create men's groups focused on real accountability
🔥 VIRAL MOMENTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS
"The Progression Pipeline"
"No one starts saying, 'I want a career and to be arrested for child porn.' This is where it takes you."
Pornography has the same neurological effects as cocaine
Every view lays another "railroad track into a dark forest"
Veterans returning from overseas with new addictions
You can predict someone's addiction timeline by their browser history
The Father Crisis
"Where was the Christian man when my dad was 40 to grab him and say, 'You're shipwrecking your life'?"
Most men are lonely with no real friendships
The questions haunting every man: "Am I good enough? What's my purpose?"
Pornography steals your ability to be the best husband and father
The Culture Shock
"Shame and guilt have left the room," - describing an entire generation
High school gyms erupting when porn site theme songs play
8-year-olds sending explicit images (learned behavior - where did they learn it?)
The #1 day for porn consumption? Sunday
The Trafficking Connection
"You want to stop sex trafficking? Stop pornography."
Amateur porn (largely unregulated) now dominates over professional
"Modeling opportunities" that become trafficking recruitment
Strip clubs as marketing tools for real money-makers
If there's no consumer demand, there's no trafficking supply
💔 THE PERSONAL COST
Glenn "Buckshot" Buckley's Story
13 years in Internet Crimes Against Children
Could predict addiction progression by hard drive contents
Identity became "the child porn guy"
Tattoos as a cry for people to see him as more than his job
Had to quit his career to save his relationships
Judd Granzow's Mission
"I'm great at barbecues - mention Jesus OR porn and people get uncomfortable"
Created safe spaces for men to share what they've "never told anyone"
P3 Ministry: Peace, Power, Purpose
🗣️ QUOTES THAT HIT DIFFERENT
"Pornography is heroin through the eyes, abortion of the soul." - Judd Granzow
"Flesh can't beat flesh. It's through the Spirit." - Judd Granzow
"Every time you watch it, you're not being the best husband, the best father. You're stealing the best you can be." - Judd Granzow
"Education equals prevention." - Glenn Buckley
"Usually by the time you realize you should take a break, you should have realized it a year ago." - Glenn Buckley
🛡️ THE FATHER'S PLAYBOOK
Having "The Talk" 2.0
Start with WHY behind the rules, not just the rules
"I'm putting blocks on your phone because I love you, not because I don't trust you"
Create safe spaces: "You're not in trouble - let's just talk"
Share your own struggles authentically
"I was 17 once too. I still struggle every day by the grace of God."
The Seatbelt Analogy
You teach them to wear seatbelts and trust they'll do it when you're not watching
Same with digital protection - educate, don't just restrict
"When you're at a friend's house and they pull out porn, leave the room and call me"
🧠 THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ADDICTION
Brain Chemistry Reality
Same dopamine pathways as hard drugs
Male brains develop until age 25
A decade of exposure during crucial development = humans become objects
The Corvette analogy: What thrilled you at first eventually bores you
The Inevitable Escalation
Soft core → Hard core → Fetishes → Violence → Acting out
"When you get to that line, the dopamine rush isn't happening anymore"
⛪ THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE ANGLE
Why Sunday?
Highest porn consumption day of the week
Porn companies deliberately use biblical names
"This is demonic... anything not of Christ is demonic, but this is very dark"
The Image of God Under Attack
"This is a direct assault on God's creation. Life is sacred."
Sex in covenant marriage creates eternal souls
Modern culture celebrates what should be protected
🚨 WARNING SIGNS & HOPE
The Progression Red Flags
Increasing secrecy around devices
Escalating content searches
Loss of empathy/seeing people as objects
Relationship struggles
The Freedom Stories
23-year-old calling to thank Judd: "I'm free right now"
Men discovering their identity in Christ, not their addiction
"Every day you're not watching is a victory"
Marriages saved, abuse stopped, lives redirected
