The Science of P*rn Addiction feat. Dr. Trish Leigh
Neuroscientist Dr. Trish Leigh joins Jonny Hanson and Andy Lamb to break down the brain science behind pornography and sex addiction. Dr. Leigh explains how early exposure rewires the brain's reward pathways, why the average age of first exposure has dropped to 8 years old, and how a "supernormal stimulus" leads to dopamine desensitization, erectile dysfunction, and compulsive behavior. She introduces her concepts of strain brain and drain brain, walks through the brain's rewiring timeline, and shares practical strategies — including dopamine stacking, accountability, and emotional intelligence — for anyone seeking freedom from porn addiction. Dr. Leigh is the author of Mind Over Explicit Matter and founder of the Desire Rewire program.Learn more about Dr. Leigh's work at http://drtrishleigh.com/This episode is part of UPD Podcast's Finding Freedom series, exploring addiction recovery through the lens of neuroscience and Christian faith.

The 9th Commandment | You shall not bear false witness feat. Pastor Matt Sanders
In a world of spin, manipulation, and headline outrage, trust is collapsing, and it’s fracturing community. In this episode of Untrained Philosophical Discussionists, Jonny Hanson and Andy Lamb sit down with Pastor Matt Sanders to unpack the ninth commandment: “Do not bear false witness.”This is not just “don’t lie.” It’s about how truth can be weaponized, how gossip and slander destroy people, and why a “small” exaggeration can poison your integrity. They break down the original courtroom context (no cameras, no forensics, no receipts) and why your reputation and words were literally life-or-death in ancient communities, then bring it straight into modern life: comment sections, social media, politics, and the temptation to stay silent when someone is misrepresented.

The 8th Commandment | You shall not steal feat. Fr. Daniel Hickman
Most people think "thou shalt not steal" is about taking someone else's stuff. The Bible goes much deeper. In this conversation with Father Daniel Hickman, we explore the Eighth Commandment, trust in God, generosity, discipleship, greed, gossip, stewardship, and the hidden ways we take from others without realizing it. Whether you're a committed Christian, skeptical of faith, or simply searching for truth, this episode will challenge how you think about money, purpose, relationships, and what it means to follow Jesus.
