Fear isn’t weakness. It’s not the enemy. It’s a signal—and most of the time, it’s pointing to what you care most about. But if you don’t face it, it will run your life in the background, driving you right back to porn. In this episode, we expose the real fear beneath the urge and give you a better way to respond.

🔥 What You’ll Hear:

• Why fear is actually trying to protect you—not paralyze you
• How porn becomes a way to avoid emotional risk
• The difference between real danger and perceived threat
• The childhood root of “if I feel afraid, I’m not safe”
• The cost of spiritual bypassing and false peace
• How fear drives control, performance, and numbing
• A better way to respond to fear with curiosity and courage

🛠️ Practical Takeaways:

• Recognize fear as a signal, not an enemy
• Trace what your body does when fear shows up
• Journal the “What if…” stories running your anxiety
• Practice naming your fear instead of shaming it
• Use your breath to calm your nervous system before responding
• Remember: Bravery is not the absence of fear—it’s showing up anyway

Anger isn’t the enemy—it’s a messenger. In this episode, we unpack the truth about anger: where it comes from, what it’s trying to protect, and how most men either explode, implode, or numb it out. You’ll learn why anger is actually a signal that something important is being threatened—and how to respond with power instead of destruction. We look at how Jesus expressed righteous anger and why yours doesn’t have to be sinful either. If you’ve ever been told to just “calm down” or “be nice,” this one’s for you.

Most men trying to quit porn are looking for a quick fix. But the real battle isn’t about white-knuckling willpower—it’s about facing toxic shame and self-contempt head-on. In this episode, Michael and Nick dig into the difference between guilt, shame, and toxic shame, and why so many men live trapped in cycles of self-hatred without even realizing it.

We share raw personal stories of confession, grace, and what it actually looks like to move from isolation into healing relationships. We unpack Genesis 3, the prodigal son, and the scandalous grace of God that clothes us in something far better than our own fig leaves.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between healthy shame and toxic shame.
• Why self-contempt keeps you stuck in addiction.
• How courage, humility, and safe relationships break the cycle.
• Practical steps to begin opening up without crushing your spouse.

If you’ve ever felt like you deserve punishment, struggle to receive grace, or can’t shake the voice of self-hatred, this conversation is for you.

Most of us avoid sadness like the plague. We numb it, bury it, or try to outrun it — and in the process, we cut ourselves off from what it’s trying to tell us. In this first episode of our Triggers Guide series, Michael and Nick unpack why sadness isn’t a weakness to “get over” but a vital signal pointing to loss, love, and connection.

You’ll hear how avoiding sadness fuels addictive cycles, why Jesus’ invitation to “mourn with those who mourn” is a path to healing, and practical ways to sit with sorrow without drowning in it.

If you’ve been told to “man up” and push through, this conversation will help you slow down, name what’s been lost, and discover the freedom that comes when you actually let yourself feel.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How sadness works as a relational signal, not just an emotion
• Why shutting down sadness leads to anger, numbness, or acting out
• Simple practices for engaging grief in a healthy, God-centered way

If you’re stuck in the cycle of porn use and tired of white-knuckling your way through recovery, this episode gives you a clear, gospel-centered path forward.

Michael & Nick unpack 4 powerful principles from Scripture to help you break free from pornography:

1. Redeemed – You are not your past. Christ has given you a new identity.
2. Replacement – Real change means putting off the old self and putting on the new (Eph. 4:20-24).
3. Resolute – Porn can’t have even a hint of space in your life (Eph. 5:3-7).
4. Reliant – You need God’s armor to fight this battle, not just willpower (Eph. 6:10-13).

This episode is for Christian men ready to reclaim integrity, restore wholeness, and actually win the war for sexual purity.

You say you want to quit porn. But do you really?

In this episode, Michael and Nick get honest about the brutal truth most guys avoid: you’re not stuck because you’re weak — you’re stuck because you haven’t fully committed. You’re still trying to manage the behavior instead of surrendering it.

We dig into:

• Why “trying” is a dangerous mindset
• The real (unspoken) reasons guys stay attached to porn
• What actual commitment looks like in recovery
• How to spot when you’re still bargaining with the behavior
• A direct challenge to stop half-assing your healing

This one’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s tired of the cycle and ready to draw a real line in the sand.

If prayer alone could fix your porn problem, it would’ve worked by now. But for most men, prayer becomes another way to avoid the deeper emotional and relational work required for real freedom.

In this episode, we expose how spiritual bypassing keeps you stuck—and what it actually looks like to partner with God in your healing instead of outsourcing it to Him.

We walk through:

• Why “giving it to God” often just means avoiding your pain
• How real prayer rewires your brain—if it’s honest
• What emotionally honest, healing prayer actually sounds like
• Why you can’t do this alone (even with God on your side)
• How to start praying with your full, unfiltered self

If you’ve been praying for years but still struggling with porn, this episode will help you confront the truth—and start healing from it.
