  • When a Pastor Says “Me Too”: How Confession, Community, and EMB Changed Jim Phillis’s Life
    📻 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙣’𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩 – 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟏𝟕 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐍𝐨tesIn this facilitator spotlight, JJ West interviews longtime Every Man’s Battle and Sustained Victory leader Jim Phillis, recorded live at an EMB intensive in Washington, DC. Jim shares his journey from early masturbation and pornography in Peoria, to a dramatic Good Friday conversion, to years of pastoral ministry shadowed by secret acting out, and finally to a life of freedom, transparency, and group leadership through New Life.You’ll hear:How a blunt question from a Campus Life leader and the prayers of his now‑wife Susan led Jim to recognize his addictions as crutches and surrender to Christ.Why a terrifying confession to a prayer partner at a pastors’ conference (“I’m struggling with porn and masturbation”) became the doorway to real accountability and change.What Jim wishes he’d done differently—addressing acting in behaviors and hiding from his wife sooner—and why transparency and ongoing groups like Sustained Victory are now central to his own recovery and ministry to other men.🎟 Use code 𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐏𝐎𝐃 to save $100 when you register for the Every Man’s Battle Intensive, and ask about Sustained Victory and other groups so you don’t try to do this alone.📧 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎R EMAIL 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒Want extra content to encourage your integrity, delivered via email each month? 👉 Email [email protected] with “Bonus Content” in the subject line to receive exclusive Every Man’s Battle Podcast resources.​Have a question about recovery, Sustained Victory, or future topics?👉 Email [email protected] with “Podcast Question” in the subject line.☎️ Need a counselor, coach, or group?👉 Call 800‑NEW‑LIFE or visit NewLife.com to connect with Christian counseling, life coaching, and recovery groups.🎟 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 – 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘If Jim’s story resonates—secret porn use, ministry pressure, fear of being found out, and decades of partial measures—it may be time to step into the same path God used to set him free. The Every Man’s Battle Intensive is a 3‑day, Christ‑centered workshop that combines expert teaching and small‑group work to address both the root causes and behaviors of sexual brokenness.After the weekend, Sustained Victory and other New Life recovery groups offer ongoing, structured support so you don’t have to walk the path alone.

Building on earlier episodes about grace, surrender, story work, and compassion, they now unpack how community, confrontation, and honest feedback become instruments of God’s transforming grace.You’ll learn:Why isolation keeps your blind spots hidden, and how safe, truth‑telling brothers (not “yes‑men”) help you see and change destructive patterns.The critical difference between behavior modification (short‑term, performance‑driven) and heart transformation (Spirit‑led, relational, long‑term), and how each impacts your spouse, children, church, and friends.How courageous conversations—like friends confronting JJ about major life decisions or chronic lateness—illustrate the kind of community every man needs for lasting change.🎟 Use code 𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐏𝐎𝐃 to save $100 when you register for the Every Man’s Battle Intensive, and ask about scholarships so finances don’t keep you from the help and community you need.📧 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎R EMAIL 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒Want extra content to encourage your integrity, delivered via email each month?👉 Email [email protected] with “Bonus Content” in the subject line to receive exclusive Every Man’s Battle Podcast resources.​Have a question, story, or idea for a future episode?👉 Email [email protected] with “Podcast Question” in the subject line so JJ and Doug can consider it for upcoming QA episodes.☎️ Need a counselor, mentor, or group to walk with you?👉 Call 800‑NEW‑LIFE or visit NewLife.com to find Christian counseling and men’s sexual integrity groups (in‑person and online).🎟 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 – 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐍’𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏𝐒If this series has highlighted how much you’ve tried to do recovery alone or rely on behavior checklists, it’s time to step into brotherhood and heart transformation.

Joe first attended EMB in 2011 after his wife, Kyra, confronted his ogling and friends pointed them to New Life.You’ll hear:How early experiences—like a nude portrait in his home, pin‑ups in the closet, and TV “heroes” who slept with every guest star—shaped Joe’s objectification, compulsive masturbation, serial monogamy, and infidelity.Why skipping Sustained Victory after his first EMB led to relapse four years later, and how weekly groups, check‑in calls, journaling, and understanding “eye wounds” now anchor his ongoing recovery and marriage.What Kyra told him about forgiveness vs. trust—and how her recorded prayer for EMB men today reflects God’s grace at work in both of their lives.🎟 Use code 𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐏𝐎𝐃 to save $100 when you register for the Every Man’s Battle Intensive, and ask about scholarships for both EMB and Sustained Victory so cost doesn’t keep you from the help you need.📧 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎R EMAIL 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒Want extra content to encourage your integrity, delivered via email each month? 👉 Email [email protected] with “Bonus Content” in the subject line to receive exclusive Every Man’s Battle Podcast resources.​Have a question or topic suggestion?👉 Email [email protected] with “Podcast Question” in the subject line.☎️ Need prayer, a counselor, or more info on workshops and groups?👉 Call 800‑NEW‑LIFE or visit NewLife.com for counseling, groups, and faith‑based sexual integrity resources.🎟 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 – 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘If Joe’s story sounds painfully familiar—early exposure, escalating behaviors, broken promises, and a “white‑knuckled” attempt to fix things alone—the Every Man’s Battle Intensive is where your turnaround can begin.

This episode looks at why so many younger men lack mentors, how that leaves them confused about relationships and values, and why older men often underestimate how much they have to offer.Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and hard‑earned lessons, JJ and Doug speak directly to two audiences at once: younger men who need guidance and older men who need to step into the calling of mentoring the next generation.You’ll learn:How Scripture frames mentoring (Jesus, Paul–Timothy, Titus) and why it’s essential for sexual integrity and relationships.Three myths that derail men in dating: “attraction = compatibility,” “love must always feel exciting,” and “it’s my job to fix her.”Practical steps for younger men to seek mentors, and for older men to offer their stories and wisdom, plus how environments like the Every Man’s Battle Intensive and Sustained Victory groups foster these relationships.🎟 Use code 𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐏𝐎𝐃 to save $100 on the Every Man’s Battle Intensive, a 3‑day workshop where men break shame, build brotherhood, and receive mentoring that shapes both sexual integrity and relationships📧 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎R EMAIL 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒Want extra content to encourage your integrity, delivered via email each month? 👉 Email [email protected] with “Bonus Content” in the subject line to receive exclusive Every Man’s Battle Podcast resources.​Have a question or topic suggestion?👉 Email [email protected] with “Podcast Question” in the subject line.​☎️ Need prayer, a counselor, or more info on workshops and groups?👉 Call 800‑NEW‑LIFE or visit NewLife.com for counseling, groups, and faith‑based sexual integrity resources.​🎟 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 – 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄If this episode surfaces how much you’ve been navigating sexual integrity and relationships alone, the Every Man’s Battle Intensive is a strategic next step.
