I had a profound realization recently...God definitely laid something on my heart related to who I am, why I'm here, why DeepClean exists, and even why this podcast exists.
I'm convinced that the world going to crap is directly related to men staying on the sidelines. Whether it's society "forcing" men down, or men opting out of the leadership of their own life, things need to change.
The good news is, the solution is in you. YOU get to be part of the change not only in your own life, but in the world at large. Join me in being part of the change that shifts your life and the trajectory of the world forever.
In this episode, we discuss:
1:00 How to get LIVE coaching from Sathiya and Shawn
3:04 Why have I been called a misogynist on Instagram?!
5:50 Why I exist
7:38 The world goes to crap when the men stay on the sidelines
11:01 You can be part of the change

Before we get into the live coaching, Sathiya and Shawn discuss John MacArthur's recent comments about therapy having no place in the church. How are we supposed to look at emotions, therapy, and healing as Christians? Is there a Biblical case for the inner healing work we're doing?
In this episode, we discuss:
1:27 Christians need to stop listening to pastors who say that mental illness isn't real
8:34 Looking at the fruit to determine what path to walk
15:03 The other ditch Christians should look out for regarding mental health
20:45 Defending inner child work Biblically
24:09 Question 1: I figured out where my urges were coming from and had 2 years of freedom, but recently the urges and usage have come back...what do I do?
36:36 Question 2: How can men live for Christ within a sexless marriage (while increasing intimacy with your wife)?

Let me get a little personal with you guys today...I want to share what God has been (painfully) doing in my life, because I think He's telling me to share it with you in case you can relate.
Not every season is going to be one of growth and spaciousness. Sometimes God trims the fat in our lives. It doesn't mean He's not with us...it just means we need to be extra diligent in keeping the vision! Let me know if you can resonate after listening this episode.
In this episode, we discuss:
0:54 Share this with a friend if you've got value
1:47 What God's been revealing to me in my own life (personal story)
5:51 Trimming the fat in every area of life
8:36 Growth will come...God's with you in this
9:15 How to handle the fat-trimming seasons

Today we talk about the REAL "AI" threat to our society, and no, I don't mean Artificial Intelligence.
I'll break down the even scarier threat of Artificial Intimacy...perhaps the CORE reason why men are drawn toward pornography in the first place. We have to talk about this, because if you can figure this out, the rest of recovery usually follows fairly close behind it.
Let me give you 3 tips to get you out of artificial intimacy and into real connection.
In this episode, we discuss:
1:36 The scarier AI threat...
2:57 The thing driving men to pornography
4:38 What I'm concerned about
5:30 The good news
7:46 Healthy intimacy
9:59 Intimacy with God

We go deep today talking about the insane and under-discussed impacts of how our early childhood can impact our future lives and recovery...we're talking about the first few hours of your life! We also cover how to navigate our discussions on healing when you feel like you had a good childhood and that there's nothing to heal from, before diving into questions from listeners around healing multiple traumas at once, and recovering from the negative effects of porn usage once you're free from addiction.
In this episode, we discuss:
1:03 Just because you had a good childhood doesn't mean you don't have trauma to work through!
10:10 Always keeping Jesus as the model we compare to
12:01 Attachment from the moment you were born
14:26 Does poor sleep lead to more pornography viewing?
22:27 Question 1: How do you deal with healing multiple traumas that happened at the same time?
30:23 Question 2: How to heal the damage done to our bodies and minds after recovering from porn use

Internet filters didn't help me in my recovery, so at the beginning of DeepClean I was actually against using them. They can actually be a bit of a crutch and may stop you from going deeper to get true freedom. BUT...I've noticed that they're not always bad. It just depends where you're at in the journey and what kind of help you're getting.
In this episode, I'll give you my current, nuanced answer, and hope to clear up any confusion you may have about whether they're actually useful in your own recovery.
In this episode, I discuss:
1:50 Do you ever need to use an internet filter? (My current opinion)
4:53 You have to have the internal solutions, or none of this will work
6:22 So, should you use an internet filter? Maybe...
7:45 Consider the long term impact
