THE GRIZ PODCAST

On this episode, I unpack two of the root causes of depression — not from a textbook, but from real life. From my own journey …
As a man.
As a pastor.
As a coach.

And as a brother in Christ who has walked through many dark valleys — and walked with other men through theirs.

Listen to me guys … when we begin to identify the real causes of depression, we stop fighting blind. We can start healing. We can start growing. And most importantly, we can start hoping and living again.

Cause #1 – The Fall of Man

Cause #2 – Toxic Thought Patterns and Negative Self-Talk

I also share some personal things that help me when depression pays me a visit.

On this episode, I’m kicking off a new series on something a lot of us men wrestle with—but few of us are willing to admit: depression.

That dark cloud that hangs over you … that heavy weight pressing down on your mind, your emotions, even your body … making you wonder if it’ll ever lift.

Here’s the truth: You’re not alone!

And this struggle isn’t new.

Some of the greatest men in history—men we admire, quote, and study—battled deep depression. Great leaders. Thinkers. Preachers. Warriors. Men who faced the darkness yet still went on to live incredible lives, impacting the world for good—saving lives, changing lives.

And if they learned to face those dark valleys and climb out of them, then by the grace of God, so can we!

I’m going to tell you all about it.

This is raw, real, and relevant stuff for all of us. And it will change the way you see your struggle with depression—and I pray it will help lift you up if you’re stuck in it right now.

On this episode, I continue talking about the hidden cost of pornography.

And why am I sharing these hidden costs with you?

Because I want to motivate you to stay the heck away from porn and every other sexual sin.

I also want motivate you to seek out the help you need to break free and heal if it has a grip on you.

Pornography addiction is not something you break free from on your own. Freedom and recovery from porn/sexual addiction requires solid biblical guidance within a godly community that provides on-going accountability.

You need a leader who’s successfully climbed the trail before you.

You need a climb team!

On this episode, I talk about the hidden cost of pornography – and how so many Christian men are trading their feathers for worms. And when you lose all your feathers … you can no longer soar, my brothers. It completely grounds you and makes you a miserable man … but God can transform all of that if you let Him.

This is part 1.

On this episode, I have a conversation with Katie Cousins. Katie is a professional soccer player who plays for NWSL and Icelandic Teams. She was a two-time All-American at the University of Tennessee, Gatorade Player of the Year, and part of the U20 Women’s World Cup Team.

Katie’s resume is pretty impressive, but to me the most impressive thing about her is her commitment to follow Christ even through major public ridicule and persecution.

We talk about her upbringing – where her work ethic came from – how she came to faith in Christ – spiritual influences – her soccer career – facing public ridicule/persecution for her faith – hoping to hunt reindeer in Iceland – and how polar bears randomly show up!

Katie recently published her first book, Just Be Faithful – Because Following Jesus is Worth It! – Amazon link – https://amzn.to/41v2f3h

In the off-season, Katie serves at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters in the mountains of NC. – https://swoutfitters.com
