Desire, Distraction, & Preventing The Death Of Intimacy

What does your social media algorithm say about the state of your soul—and the health of your marriage?

In this week’s episode of Needed Conversations, Ryan and Viktoriya take you deep into the quiet war being waged right in your pocket. It's not just about screens—it's about desires, distractions, and the subtle erosion of intimacy.

You’ll explore:

• How your algorithm is discipling your desires
• The spiritual dangers of ambient noise and digital fatigue
• Why stillness is where God speaks—and connection thrives
• A powerful couples' challenge: swap phones and examine your explore feeds
• The biblical roots of temptation and how sin begins with distorted desire
• The connection between what you feed your soul and what flows from your heart
• How to curate your feed and your environment to protect what matters most

Your #1 source for marriage empowerment. In this podcast, we have the conversations that are sometimes the hardest to have but are the most needed in society today. Discussing everything from purpose, spiritual growth, marriage, and culture, we are not afraid to confront the hottest topics to bring a biblical response and help bring the body of Christ back to God's original design for marriage, family, and the church as a whole.
