  • 057 | Attacking Spiritual Bybass
    Ben and Roane discuss the concept of "spiritual bypass," a phenomenon where individuals use religious or spiritual language to avoid dealing with their emotional pain.

They emphasize the importance of addressing trauma, emotional sobriety, and the need for empathy and real love. The conversation aims to challenge the spiritual bypass culture and promote genuine spiritual growth and transformation. To learn more about the Sex, God, & Chaos team, click the link below:

  • 056 Ted Shimer |The Freedom Fight
    Roane discusses the pervasive issue of pornography addiction with Ted Shimer, founder of the Freedom Fight.
