True Radical Love was founded by Cole and Kayla Forester in May of 2020 to help individuals in their quest in true love and battle against pornography. The need increased when COVID created isolation and the solution was in connection. TRL is an online community to share the truth of the pornography industry and the real stories of those effected by it and their redemption. Our mission is to end pornography one heart at a time, because if this evil will always exist, then the only way to win is to win the individual’s heart.
Cole has a passion for this work, as he was affected by this at a young age as so many others are. He found that by logically knowing this is wrong with the facts of what pornography really is and emotionally seeing how it affected his relationships, created the burning desire to find true radical love. After being free of pornography he reallized that it did a toll on his mind and heart. But the battle didn’t end there. He started noticing how as a society there was a porn fueled culture in the shows we were watching, the social media that would appear, and companies that promote this promiscuity. That’s where we take a radical approach of not trading to a lesser evil but journeying to the greatest good and love there is.
When Cole met Kayla, that is where the work he was doing on his heart prepared him for marriage, and when Kayla asked about this topic, it was a gift to share that not only is this something he doesn’t do, but whole-heartedly stands against.
Like Cole’s story, Kayla’s began years before, when she attended the Passion Conference in 2012 and saw the “End It” movement. She saw that sex slavery and trafficking were still prevelant and very prominent in Atlanta, our own city. She also saw how pornography effected many of her relationships and the notion that “every guy watches porn” was very disheartening.
We want men and women to take a radical stance against pornography to not be “okay” with it and show the world what true men and women do to fight for love.
We want to love people and hate the evil; Pornography is a multibillion dollar a year oligarchy that employs some of the greatest AI engineers to get people to watch porn more and more.
They spread lies and want people to rationalize and justify the use of porn, we want to spread the truth, that you are so much more. That our creator has designed us with love that can change the world.
Join us and create your story and impact that you’ll have on society. Let’s start changing the standard and show to the world what True Radical Love looks like.
