They told you masculinity was toxic.
They were wrong.

In this episode, Craig Perra sits down with Geoff Laughton and Mark Johnson, founders of The Undaunted Man, for one of the most raw and powerful conversations you’ll hear this year.

They expose how modern men have been shamed for being masculine, how this has left millions lost, numb, and disconnected, and what it takes to reclaim strength without losing heart.

You’ll learn:

-Why so many men secretly feel broken
-The difference between healthy masculine and unhealthy control
-Why community and brotherhood matter more than ever
-How to be fearless and live with purpose again

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your power, this conversation will wake you up.

In this episode, Coach Craig Perra tackles one of the most controversial and important topics in the church today: why so many faith-based porn recovery programs fail—and how they may actually make things worse (unintentionally of course).

Drawing on over a decade of coaching pastors, Christian leaders, and men of faith, Craig exposes the hidden disconnect between sin-based approaches and neuroscience. He explores why shame-based recovery fuels relapse, why “perfect sobriety” is an illusion, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a Christ-aligned, science-backed path toward healing.

🔥 Topics Covered:
Why so many pastors secretly struggle with porn
How “don’t lust” and “don’t touch” rules backfire
The dangerous all-or-nothing myth of “perfect sobriety”
The truth about our biology, trauma, and unmet needs
A faith-aligned alternative: leading your “addict part” with grace, not shame

🧠 If you’ve ever felt like your faith and your biology are at war, this episode might change how you see addiction forever.

If you just found out your husband is a sex addict, you’re probably feeling lost, angry, and unsure of what to do next. You’re not alone.

In this episode, Craig talks about what recovery really looks like for couples facing sexual betrayal. He shares the first steps for healing, what to expect during the process, and how to protect your emotional well-being while your partner does the work to change.

You’ll learn why recovery isn’t just about stopping the behavior—it’s about rebuilding honesty, trust, and connection one step at a time.

If you’re ready to start healing, this episode will help you take your first step toward strength and clarity.

Most men want deeper connection with their partner but don’t know how to get there - especially after recovering from sex and porn addiction. The harder they try, the more disconnected it feels.

In this episode, Craig talks with Shana James, author of Honest Sex, A Passionate Path to Deepen Connection and Keep Relationships Alive, about building trust, passion, and truth in your relationship. They explore how fear, shame, and performance keep men from being fully present—and how honesty can actually bring more attraction, safety, and fulfillment into your sex life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in surface-level intimacy or afraid to express what you really want, this conversation will help you understand how honesty can transform everything.

Takeaway:
Honesty isn’t the end of passion. It’s the beginning of it.

Most men were never taught how to have a healthy sex life. Porn, shame, and silence replaced real intimacy—and it’s destroying connection, confidence, and marriages.

In this episode, Craig talks with men’s coach Rob Kansler about what it really takes to create great sex and a great life. They explore how porn and peak release cycles disconnect men from their partners, why integrity and nervous system regulation are key, and how healthy sexuality transforms everything—from your marriage to your purpose.

If you’re a married man ready to move from addiction and secrecy to clarity, strength, and connection, this conversation will hit home.

In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, I sit down with Brent Perkins—former corporate executive turned self-leadership powerhouse and founder of 3xBOLD. We met at the Big Tent Summit in Loveland, CO and we connected!!!

Brent shares his raw, unfiltered story of climbing the corporate ladder only to realize the view from the top was empty ... sound familiar? His awakening began with pain, shame, and a pattern of people-pleasing that nearly cost him everything (sound familiar?) - he and I have a lot in common!!!
