Man Within Podcast

The difference between boys and men is that boys are impatient and think they can get whatever they want without the time and effort that it requires.

Boys spend all their time on "get rich quick" schemes (financially, in fitness, in recovery), when they could have had what they wanted already if they had just prioritized long-term outcomes from the get-go.

In this episode, Sathiya will help you become a MAN by making the choices real men make.

In this episode, we discuss:

1:20 Experiencing LASTING change in your life

4:41 Prioritizing long term results over short term results

9:54 It never takes you as long as you think, and it never happens as quick as you think

✅ FREE "QUIT-PORN" CASE STUDY VIDEO: Learn the system that has helped HUNDREDS of men around the world realize their potential, restore their relationships, and reconnect with God.

There was a period where I was unsatisfied with "just" helping guys quit porn. It felt like something was missing.

I finally realized that we weren't "just" doing anything...we were helping men reach their potential. Because when they were no longer slaves to pornography, their lives started flourishing in amazing ways.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about the danger of pursuing your potential, and then outline two specific things that will help you pursue your potential healthily, without cratering OR settling.

In this episode, we discuss:

1:31 The work we do is really about helping guys reach their potential

5:12 Is what you're doing now a reflection of what you envisioned in high school?

7:46 Potential is a moving goal post

9:15 How to pursue your potential without cratering or settling

Before we get into the live coaching, Sathiya and Shawn discuss the importance of claiming your true identity and figuring out your ACTUAL motivation for recovery, so that you're not just constantly "managing" your addiction, but truly finding healing and growth.

We brought on two amazing listeners who asked questions, and we did our best to give them some live coaching during the episode. Questions include how to handle everything suddenly becoming a trigger after 6 months of being free from porn, and how to stop codependent patterns around caring more about what your wife thinks about your recovery than your own actual recovery.

In this episode, we discuss:

1:14 Persevering with a vision, even through hardship

3:29 What are the elements of a healthy, solid identity?

7:27 When your idea of identity betrays a false underlying belief

10:00 The power (necessity?) of having local accountability and real relationships

12:01 The challenges of isolation, especially spiritually

15:24 Is your secret life exhausting you?

17:19 Finding your ACTUAL motivation for recovery and handling higher temptation environments

21:55 Question 1: Free from porn for 6 months, but now everything is a trigger...how do I overcome this?

32:54 Question 2: How do I stop my codependent habits and correctly order my relationship with God and my wife?

Today Sathiya sits down with Pastor Mike Novotny to discuss his work bringing light to taboo subjects, including pornography addiction, and how Mike was freed from his own addiction.

It seems like so many Christians have a hard time talking about subjects that are uncomfortable or make us squirm a little, and sadly that's actually one of the reasons why believers still struggle with things like porn addiction...because we don't confess to one another (regularly!).

This is a convicting and very practical episode...make sure to pick up Pastor Mike's newest book Taboo (link below)!

Pastor Mike Novotny has served God’s people in full-time ministry since 2007 in Madison and, most recently, at The CORE in Appleton, Wisconsin. He also serves as the lead speaker for Time of Grace, where he shares the good news about Jesus through television, print, and online platforms.

In this episode, we discuss:

0:00 Introducing Mike Novotny

2:00 Why start talking specifically about taboo subjects?

4:18 Why is porn addiction so prevalent among Christians, even those who regularly go to church?

5:12 How to resist ever-present temptation

8:35 Should we revolt against the word "purity"?

12:27 When God heals you of porn addiction

17:40 Confession for quitting porn

22:32 Why talk about suicide

29:33 How to think about technology and social media

37:42 Tools to combat the enemy

40:44 How to get deeper into the Word of God

44:00 Scriptures to help you defeat sexual sin

Before we get into the live coaching, Sathiya and Shawn discuss singleness and whether the church is doing a good enough job encouraging and talking about singleness, or if marriage has become a bit of an idol. This is a great conversation for all of our single listeners who are wondering how to navigate that while still struggling with addiction to pornography...we got you!

We brought on two amazing listeners who asked questions, and we did our best to give them some live coaching during the episode. Questions include fertility and the consequences of porn use, as well as how to navigate constant and overwhelming urges (even if you don't give into them).

In this episode, we discuss:

1:49 Is there an anti-singleness bias in the church?

5:32 Focusing on your growth

12:35 The one way we've seen lists work when preparing to find a partner

16:53 Marriage is really special to the heart of God

18:55 Make sure you're putting in the work while you've got time for it!

23:43 Question 1: Can eliminating sexual misbehaviour aid in efforts to get pregnant?

35:37 Question 2: No matter what I do, I constantly have urges, and it's causing me to think about relapsing all the time...what do I do?

It's not always easy to talk about money, but guys, we know vulnerability, transparency, and honesty are KEY factors in recovery, so we'll be talking about it more on this podcast, starting with today's episode on: what to do if you don't think you can afford a program or coach to help you recover?

My response might surprise you here, but I urge you to listen to the whole episode, because the bottom line here is not whether you can afford to invest in your recovery...it's whether you can afford NOT to invest in it.
