How Should Christians Handle Thirst Traps?

How should Christians handle thirst traps, lust, and temptation online? In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about modesty, social media, lust, pornography, and how young Christians should respond to sexual temptation in a hypersexualized online world. They discuss what the Bible says about modesty, why attention and validation can become addictive, how social media algorithms work against purity, and why both men and women are called to honor God with how they present themselves. They also get practical about what to do when thirst traps show up in your feed, why unfollowing or blocking accounts can be a wise step, how young men can build real guardrails against lust, and why “premeditated sin” often starts with small compromises that seem harmless at first. The conversation also touches on joy and happiness, asking whether God actually wants Christians to be happy and why the gospel should produce real joy in the life of a believer.
