https://www.getinthefight.club/7 — If you’re looking for help to break bad habits or build better ones and you want to be the man God made you to be, check out this link and our 7-Day Challenge — an email-based course absolutely free to help you learn how to change and grow and become more of the man you’re meant to be.

In Today’s Episode:


What if the problem isn’t that you’re broken — but that no one ever showed you how real change works?

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or defeated by struggles like porn, weight loss, spiritual laziness, or self-doubt — this episode is for you.

Here’s what we cover:

Why trying to change with the wrong “tools” leads to shame, failure, and feeling like something’s wrong with you

Why you're not broken — you're just misdirected What the enemy wants you to believe about yourself

What God says is true about you instead

How real change starts small, reshapes your identity, and becomes sustainable

How to replace lies with truth using key “I am” statements from Scripture

Why the Start Super Small System was built to give you the tools you’ve never had — and why it actually works

Verses Mentioned:

Romans 8:2 — I am set free from sin and death

Ephesians 1:4 — I am chosen and holy

Colossians 1:22 — I am holy and blameless in His sight

2 Timothy 1:9 — I am saved and called for a purpose 


You’re not broken beyond repair. You’re valuable to God and invited into real change. You don’t need hype — you need the right tools, the right truth, and a better way forward.

Start small. Start now.

Whether it’s a bad day, a tough season, or a stubborn habit that won’t go away — sometimes what we really need is a fresh start.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the Fresh Start Effect — a powerful psychological principle backed by behavioral science and Scripture. You’ll learn how certain dates, moments, or transitions in your life can be used to spark real and lasting change.

And most importantly, you’ll discover how to actually use those fresh starts to build better habits, become a better man, and grow into the person God meant for you to be.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Why behavioral science says fresh starts actually work

How God built new mercies and “do-over” moments into your life

Practical ways to use Mondays, birthdays, and other “psychological mile markers” to build new habits

How to pair your fresh start with the Start Super Small System:
→ Goal → Really Want
→ Rewire → One small step
→ Remember → After-stack it
→ Reward → Celebrate every win

The truth: You don’t need a perfect track record — just a fresh start. 📖

Scriptures Mentioned:

Lamentations 3:22–23 (NLT) – “His mercies begin afresh each morning.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) – “The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

🎯 Ask Yourself:

What “fresh start” moment can I take advantage of right now?

What’s one super small step I could begin today?

What kind of man is God calling me to become — and what habit could move me in that direction?

How to Overcome Any Temptation: F.I.G.H.T.! 


If you've ever felt like temptation sneaks up and takes you out before you can even blink—you're not alone.

In this episode, Nate shares a powerful (and personal) story of losing control in a moment of road rage, and how it became a wake-up call to stop relying on willpower and start relying on a plan.

You'll learn a simple, five-step tool called The F.I.G.H.T. Method to help you overcome temptation before it wins. Whether your struggle is with lust, anger, overeating, anxiety, or anything else—this episode gives you a clear, godly strategy you can use today.

A 5-step method to respond wisely before it’s too late

How to calm your brain, invite God in, and take action

Scriptures that give strength in the moment of weakness Why secrecy is your enemy—and connection is your weapon

The F.I.G.H.T. Method:

F – Four Deep Breaths


Proverbs 16:32 (NLT)
“Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.”

I – Invite God In


1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT)
“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience… When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”

G – Get Out of There


2 Timothy 2:22 (NLT)
“Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts…”

H – How Will You W.I.N.? (What’s Important Now?)


James 4:17 (NLT)
“It is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”

T – Tell Somebody


James 5:16 (NLT)
“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed…”

Your Challenge This Week:

Pick one temptation or recurring struggle that keeps tripping you up. When it shows up—F.I.G.H.T. it. Don’t wait. Don’t go it alone. Use the method, invite God in, and take your next small win.
