Episode notes
Teach Love As Desire Union And Goodwill
- Frame love as three stages: desire, union, and goodwill, with sacrifice crowning true love.
- Teach people to move beyond feelings so love remains constant when emotions ebb.
Listen To The Deeper Desire Behind Behavior
- Listen to underlying desires rather than only punishing unwanted sexual behavior to find the true ache driving actions.
- Jason recounts a man who realized he wanted something deeper than porn when challenged by a friend.
Train Your Response Not Your Biological Reaction
- Sexual attraction is a fast biological reaction; chastity trains the response, not the reaction.
- Convert a glance into prayer or gratefulness so beauty leads to intercession instead of imagination.
