Ephesians 4:31-32: “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

A special Thanksgiving Day release of episode 82. Forget about all of the material things of this world. The true blessing I received in my life is that of forgiveness. And that's what I want to talk about today. What forgiveness did for my life. And what it can do for yours. It's a free gift. To receive and to give.

Feel free to reach out to me at https://neilgetzlow.com/ if you would like to connect or need prayer.

I'm excited to share my interview with Mike Van Pelt. Mike is founder of True Man Life Coaching. He helps men unpack the goodness that’s already in their heart and discover the True Man inside of them. Many men live isolated, lonely, and unconnected lives. So we get into the epidemic of loneliness that's impacting men today, where is our identity is coming from, the anger many men, including myself, carry around, and how are we building a community of brothers in Christ to come on this journey of life with us.

Today, I am excited to share my conversation with former major league pitcher Brandon Puffer. Brandon spent four seasons in the big leagues before heading back down to double A ball where he was being groomed to be a coach. But a night of bad decisions out with the team celebrating a victory ultimately sent him from the bullpen to the state pen. That also happens to be the title of his new book. We talk about his road to recovery, the lessons he shares in the book, and how ultimately Jesus was able to bring healing to his life.

Today, I'm excited to share my interview with filmmaker Alison Jayne Wilson. Alison is director of the documentary film EXIT. The movie uncovers the journey of three women looking for a way out poverty who ended up being victims of trafficking. The movie also touches on about what it means to be trafficked, the damage it causes and the extreme difficulties faced by those women who try to get out for good. It's not easy, especially when poverty is used as coercion.

You can watch EXIT on Amazon Prime in the US.

I spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about the impact of porn on the lives of men. But given how accessible porn is through technology, we know that women are suffering as well. Today's guest is author Ruth Hovsepian. She is extremely vulnerable in sharing how pornography and sex addiction impacted her life. The root of her addiction stems from lack of confidence, lack of self-esteem, and a lack of an identity in Christ. She talks about how she was able to re-establish her relationship with God and is now helping others through her books The Ultimate Conversation: Is that you, God and 100 Days of Prayer.

You can learn more about Ruth on her website.

You can also check out the interview I did on Ruth's podcast.

Don't forget, we are donating $1 for every listen of episodes 76-80 to ⁠Run To Stop It. ⁠

Today's guest is Gene McConnell founder of Authentic Relationships International. Gene has an incredible story to share about God's redeeming power. Sexually assaulted as a child, exposed to pornography at an early age, rejected by his church in his original attempts to heal, and ultimately acting out with buying sex and committing his own attempted act of sexual assault.

But God transformed his heart in one simple act of love by a brother in Christ. Today, Gene has 40 years of experience in developing education about pornography’s role in the exploitation of men, women and children in our society. He also recently shared his journey in the Exodus Cry documentary Buying Her.

As a reminder, we are still donating $1 from every play of episodes 76 through 80 of Unmasked to Run To Stop It, an organization that's fighting human sex trafficking in the US.

It is UNMASKED MONDAY!

We are one month away from Run To Stop It. This is a movement that raises money for organizations that are fighting directly against sex trafficking and providing resources for women looking to get out of that industry. Amy and I are huge supporters of Run To Stop It. Starting with this episode, and going through October 20, we are donating one dollar for every play generated by the next five episodes. I'm hoping you can help me by sharing this episode and encouraging others to listen.

You can't talk about sex trafficking without talking about demand and pornography. That's what we are going to do the next few weeks. Today's guest is Fred Stoeker. Fred is the co-author of several books, including Every Man's Battle - a guide for men to overcome the battle with porn. Fred is no stranger to pornography temptations and what they can do to a marriage. After stumbling upon his father's Playboy magazine under his Dad's bed in first grade, Fred struggled with pornographic materials for the next twenty years or so. We take an open and honest look why men struggle with porn, some practical wisdom Fred learned about overcoming lust and restoring broken trust. Most importantly, we get into how men can use God to heal.

Today's show is a little bit different as I share a recent interview that my wife, Amy, did with Neil Matthews on the Other People's Shoes podcast.

You know my story but you’ve never heard Amy’s story like she shares with Neil. The fact I wasn’t part of the interview made it so unique and honest. It was Amy unplugged in a way that I’ve never heard her before. It was real, raw, emotional and painful. Listening to Amy describe her obedience to God in offering me forgiveness is incredibly humbling. But also so encouraging. The story we continue to share isn’t about us or anything we did. It is about the healing power that Jesus offers. It is real. It is life changing. Please, please, please. Share this interview with others who might need to hear about the power of forgiveness.
