10 years ago, I should’ve died from a cocaine overdose.
Instead, God used that night to completely change my life.

In this episode, I share the raw truth about my addiction, the lies I lived, the destruction I caused—and how Jesus met me in the middle of my mess.

This isn’t a story about my strength.
It’s a story about God’s power to redeem broken lives.

You’ll hear:

• Why addiction and sin are never “God’s plan”

• How He takes the darkness we create and flips it for His glory

• The night everything came into the light for me

• What real freedom in Christ looks like

• Why your pain and your story are not just for you—they’re a responsibility to help others

If you’re battling addiction, betrayal, brokenness, or just questioning God’s plan for your life—this episode is for you.

Jesus loves you. So do I.

Men…

We are failing. Hard.

It is YOUR job to lead.

And you not doing it has put women in a role they were never designed to be in.

And then you sit back and play the victim card because you don’t feel loved, respected, have the sex life you want, feel “like a man”…

IT’S BECAUSE YOU DON’T DESERVE IT!!

This is going to be a gut punch.

But take the next 20 minutes and MAYBE pick up on something that will help you make a change.

You’re not broken.
You’re just stuck in an identity that was never yours to begin with.

In this raw solo episode, Kody Houk breaks down the invisible prisons we build through shame, regret, and survival. The stories we tell ourselves—“I’m a failure,” “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t need anyone”—aren’t truths. They’re frames. And those frames are keeping you from purpose, peace, and the life God’s actually calling you into.

If you’ve been carrying guilt, playing the hero in someone else’s story, or isolating yourself because you think you’re too far gone—this is for you.

There are a thousand reasons I shouldn't be where I am today.
Addict. Criminal. Liar. Adulterer.
But God had other plans.

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I share the truth about my past and the power of surrender.
This is a wake-up call for every man out there going through the motions, hiding behind titles, and pretending everything’s fine while silently drowning.

If you’re tired of carrying shame, tired of being hollow, tired of not leading like God called you to… this episode is your call to rise.

No fluff. No religious performance. Just truth, freedom, and the brutal process of walking with God.

Ready to stop hiding? Listen now.

1. Do you have the job or business you desire?

2. Do you have the marriage you pictured yourself having?

3. Do you live in the house you dreamed of?

4. Do you drive the vehicle you want?

Go create the life you desire.
