What if your past was gone and tomorrow never showed up? How would you live today?
This week, Rich starts something new: three episodes in one week. He kicks it off with a story about Sir William Osler, the celebrated physician who said he wasn’t a genius at all. His secret was living in “day-tight compartments.” Osler borrowed the image from an ocean liner’s watertight bulkheads. Shut the iron doors on yesterday, shut them on tomorrow, and you’re safe for today.
Jesus taught it first: “Give us this day our daily bread.”
For men fighting for freedom from pornography, this changes everything. Guilt, condemnation, and shame drag yesterday’s mistakes into today. Anxiety pulls in fear of a future that hasn’t happened yet. Rich explains how to stop carrying both, and why the answer isn’t to fight your thoughts. You notice them, set your mind on what’s in front of you, and trust that God’s grace is enough for today.
In this episode:
- Osler’s famous Yale speech on day-tight compartments
- How “daily bread” teaches us to live one day at a time
- Why your mind is the only place your past mistakes still live
- What to do when your mind keeps offering guilt and fear: watch it, don’t wrestle it
- A closing prayer for today’s manna, no more and no less
Freedom is your new normal, one day at a time.
