What happens when a father confronts his own struggles with pornography while trying to guide his sons toward purity and freedom?
In this episode, we dive deep into one dad’s journey from secrecy and shame to openness, faith, and honest conversations that transform his family.
Jeremy talks with his longtime friend Jim Thorp, a husband, father of five, and faithful Catholic, about one of the most challenging yet critical topics parents face today: how to talk to your kids about pornography, sexuality, and faith.
Jim shares his personal story of wrestling with pornography for over a decade—and howbreaking free allowed him to become the father his sons needed.
With honesty and practical wisdom, Jim explains how he approached difficult conversations, taught his sons to resist temptation, and created an environment of trust, faith, and accountability.
You’ll learn:
- Why early, honest conversations matter more than you think
- How to create a shame-free space for your kids to open up about struggles
- The role of faith, confession, and accountability in breaking free from pornography
- Practical tips for using technology wisely without relying on it as the only solution
- How fathers can lead with courage, even if they’re still working through their own battles
Whether you’re a dad looking for guidance or someone walking alongside young men in faith, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and encouragement for the journey toward freedom.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
