Fight Club: Live in Freedom

In this powerful episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared Wilson sits down with Andrew Meritt to discuss a challenge many men overlook: our responsibility to confront sex trafficking in our own communities rather than assuming it's only a problem somewhere else. Andrew shares practical ways men can move beyond awareness into action while also highlighting the importance of restoring dignity, hope, and human connection to those experiencing hopelessness. This conversation is a compelling reminder that authentic biblical love isn't passive—it courageously protects the vulnerable, serves the overlooked, and reflects the heart of Christ in a broken world.

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael tackle some of the most common lies our culture tells about sex, identity, and marriage. They examine the myth that casual hookups are more fulfilling than the deep intimacy found in a healthy, lifelong marriage, challenge the belief that our arousal patterns define who we are, and expose how many have turned sexual desire into a license for indulgence rather than an invitation to self-control. Through a biblical lens, they reveal how the enemy has distorted God's beautiful design for marriage and sexuality, while offering hope that true freedom, intimacy, and fulfillment are found in honoring God's purpose for our lives.

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael tackle the overlooked issue of self-directed anger in the battle against pornography addiction. They discuss how repeated failures can lead to frustration, shame, and anger toward ourselves, and how that anger often reveals deeper struggles with identity, faith, and our understanding of God's grace. The conversation explores cognitive dissonance—the tension between what we believe and how we live—and how unresolved internal conflict can fuel cycles of addiction and discouragement. Listeners will be encouraged to move beyond self-condemnation, embrace honesty before God, and find hope in His transforming power even in the midst of weakness.

In this powerful episode, Jared is joined by pastor and best-selling author Tony Portell for an honest conversation about healing from brokenness, overcoming trauma, and finding freedom from addiction. Together, we unpack how unresolved pain often fuels destructive patterns and why true healing requires more than simply managing behavior—it requires transformation from the inside out. We also dive into the psychological and spiritual impact of the “fight or flight” response and how living in survival mode can keep people trapped in cycles of addiction, shame, isolation, and emotional exhaustion. Tony shares practical wisdom, biblical encouragement, and personal insight on how confronting trauma, surrendering control, and allowing God into our wounds can lead to lasting healing and hope.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your past, overwhelmed by shame, or exhausted from fighting the same battles, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and a reminder that brokenness does not have to define your future.

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael explore how God faithfully molds His people into the image of Christ. Using the biblical analogy of clay in the Potter’s hands, they discuss how spiritual growth often involves shaping, stretching, and refining. While God's work in us is certain, the process becomes far more fruitful when we surrender to His will rather than resist it. Join the conversation as they examine the beauty of trusting the Master Potter and allowing Him to form us into who He created us to be.
