About this episode
This is Part 3 of the Christmas Clean series, designed to help men stay clean and free from pornography through the potentially triggering holiday season, ensuring they enter the New Year with momentum. This episode challenges the world's message that Christmas is "all about you", and instead focuses on the power of making the season about others.
