Man Within Podcast

Sathiya explores the concept of social conformity and its impact on men striving to fulfill their purpose and dreams. He discusses an experiment conducted in a doctor's office with planted actors, illustrating how people tend to conform to the behavior of others around them. The dangers of bad company influencing good character are emphasized, and the importance of choosing positive and supportive communities is highlighted. Sathiya encourages listeners to be mindful of the people they surround themselves with and stresses the significance of being part of a nurturing community for personal growth and recovery.

Sathiya Sam discusses the difference between admission and confession for men seeking to fulfill their dreams and purpose. Confession is emphasized as a path to healing, with biblical elements like clarity, honesty, vulnerability, and community integrity. True confession involves remorse and seeks repentance, as indicated by the Greek word "metanoia." Sathiya shares personal challenges and asks for prayers for guidance.

Dr. Carpenter and his spouse, Mary A. Carpenter, LMSW are the founders of Insight Counseling Services.

As we help more and more guys quit porn, I've changed my mind on what the hardest part about quitting is.

I used to think it was consistency and falling off, and having to get back on the horse (which is still extremely difficult, to be sure).

But recently I've noticed that there's a much deeper issue...and if nobody's ever told you about it, you probably won't randomly uncover it and find success. So, let me share with you my new answer to the hardest part of quitting pornography and take what's probably in your subconscious and make it conscious...so you can grow and recover.

In this episode, we discuss:

2:04 My OLD answer to this question...

4:33 The one quote that explains my NEW answer

8:02 How to truly recover...embrace the loss!

Plus, you'll learn the third piece of this puzzle and how to heal and bring everything back into alignment.

In this episode, we discuss:

0:43 The difference between desire and arousal

We run a coaching program to help men break free from pornography addiction, we run a podcast to the same effect, we post on Instagram about it all the time...pretty safe to say we inherently understand and believe porn is bad.

Yet as we get more and more chances to speak to people in the "outside" or "secular" world, we're coming across more and more people who are asking us why porn is bad.

So, to answer that basic but very important question, we're dropping this episode today to show just HOW bad and harmful pornography is...to those watching and those acting.

Let this sink in and really ask yourself whether it's still worth it.

In this episode, we discuss:

0:35 What's ACTUALLY bad about porn?

2:54 Reframe...why is porn harmful?

3:20 The negative consequences of porn use

4:50 Physical side effects

6:14 Decreased sexual satisfaction and bad education

7:52 Broken relationship dynamics
