The Hidden Battle In Your Teens Phone,
<p><b>Your Son's Phone Is Not His Friend — It's Not About Trust, It's About Protection </b>When I was a kid, seeing pornography took real effort — you had to go looking for it. Today, your son doesn't have to look for anything. It's already in his pocket.</p><p></p><p>In this episode, I talk directly to parents about the generation being raised on smartphones — and why "I trust my kid" is the wrong starting point.

It's about knowing what he's up against.</p><p></p><p>In this episode:<br />✅ Why "trust" is the wrong lens for parenting in the smartphone era<br />✅ Warning signs something may be going on<br />✅ Tools like Covenant Eyes and the unannounced phone check<br />✅ What to do — and what not to do — if you catch your son<br />✅ Why parents have to be just as informed as we're asking our kids to be honest</p><p></p><p>This is a call to every parent listening: protection isn't paranoia. It's love with its eyes open.</p><p></p><p>If this episode challenged you, share it with another parent who needs to hear it.</p><p></p><p>🎙️ The Intentional Guy Podcast<br />📩 Want to talk?

Where's the Line?
<p><b>Where's the Line? — The Test No One Ever Handed You</b></p><p>This episode is for the man who's tried to stop and didn't know who to call.</p><p>We're talking honestly about pornography — how it grows, why willpower alone usually isn't enough, and a real, research-based way to know if it's become more than a habit for you. I also share something I've never said this directly before: why I went to a 12-step room instead of a Christian counselor, and what I've found in Celebrate Recovery on the other side of it.</p><p>⚠️ This episode deals with sensitive subject matter. Handled with care, not graphic — but direct, because this conversation matters.</p><p><b>Take the assessment (free, confidential, ~10 minutes):</b><br />Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) — Pure Desire Ministries<br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://puredesire.org/courses/sexual-addiction-screening-test/" target="_blank">https://puredesire.org/courses/sexual-addiction-screening-test/</a></p><p><b>Find a Celebrate Recovery group near you:</b><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://celebraterecovery.com/find-help-2/" target="_blank">https://celebraterecovery.com/find-help-2/</a></p><p>Our group meets Tuesdays at 6 PM — but CR has thousands of locations worldwide, so if ours isn't a fit, use the link above to find one near you.
