Sexual addiction silently destroys lives, marriages, and families while those struggling often feel hopelessly trapped in cycles of shame. In this powerful conversation, Steve Coppi and Corey Neal share their journey from decades of sexual shame to newfound freedom through honesty, accountability and a personal relationship with Jesus.

Steve reveals how his 45-year battle with pornography addiction began at age 12 and continued until he was 57. Rock bottom came when suicidal thoughts and unbearable hypocrisy drove him to make a desperate call to Corey. That single phone call began a transformation process when Corey responded not with judgment but with compassionate understanding: "That's not the worst I've heard before. You're going to be all right."

The conversation dives deep into how true accountability operates—not as behavior policing but as a confessional space where men can finally bring their darkest struggles into the light. Drawing from James 5:16, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective". They emphasize that confession to trusted brothers provides the pathway to healing that so many desperately seek.

What sets this episode apart is the practical roadmap they offer for those currently struggling. They share how recovery begins with breaking denial, surrendering to a process, and participating in specialized groups where men find the tools, community, and biblical guidance necessary for lasting freedom. They emphasize that while the journey isn't easy, it leads to a life they never thought possible—marriages in restoration and reconnection with children.

For leaders and those wanting to help others, Steve and Corey announce their upcoming Men of Valor Conference on October 10-11, 2025 in Santa Rosa Beach FL, designed to equip people with the tools and understanding to effectively support those battling sexual addiction.

Ready to break free from sexual bondage or help someone who is? This episode provides both the hope and practical guidance needed to begin that journey today. The path to freedom starts with one honest conversation—just like the one that changed Steve's life forever.

What happens when someone truly goes "all in" with God? Travis Kring's return to Road to Redemption unveils the extraordinary transformation that unfolds when complete surrender meets divine grace.

Travis takes us back to that pivotal moment on a West Palm Beach shoreline in April 2021. Having lost his marriage, children, career, and hometown, he stood at life's crossroads facing a divine ultimatum: "Is this flesh day? Is this all about yourself or is this about me?" His decision to fully commit sparked a redemption journey that continues to accelerate with each passing day.

The conversation vibrates with authentic passion as Travis shares how his newfound boldness manifests in unexpected places. What began as two friends praying quietly by a gym water fountain has exploded into a daily gathering of 25+ people openly praying in a secular fitness center. This "ministry field" perfectly illustrates Travis's philosophy of spiritual offense rather than defense: "The devil's on full speed every day to attack us...we want to fight him back with scripture, with passion, putting people together."

Perhaps most powerful is Travis's raw honesty about isolation's dangers and community's healing power. "Isolation is where the devil takes us to die," he shares, contrasting this with the life-giving connections formed in men's groups where vulnerability and accountability flourish. His encounter with Dallas Jenkins (creator of The Chosen) reinforces his core message: listen intently when the Holy Spirit speaks and obey immediately, regardless how small the prompting.

Ready to move from being a fan to a follower of Christ? Travis's testimony offers both inspiration and practical pathways forward. His contagious enthusiasm for scripture reading, church attendance, and small group participation provides a roadmap for anyone seeking the "joy unspeakable" he's discovered through complete surrender to God.

The grip of fear and anxiety has tightened around countless lives today—even among believers. What does it look like to break free? Join hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson as they continue their heartfelt, practical discussion on overcoming these powerful emotions.

"False evidence appearing real." This simple acronym for fear reveals how deceptive our anxious thoughts can be. Throughout this conversation, John and Valerie offer transformative strategies for shifting the seesaw of emotions—when faith rises, fear naturally falls. They explain how thanksgiving acts as spiritual armor against anxiety, sharing the powerful truth from Philippians 4 about bringing everything to God with gratitude. For those struggling with persistent worry, they distinguish between experiencing the emotion of fear versus living under a spirit of fear.

The hosts tackle difficult questions head-on: Why do traumatic experiences trigger anxiety years later? How can we identify the "why behind the what" of our anxious responses? When bad news arrives, what scripture can anchor our hearts? Their honest admissions about their own battles with fear create a judgment-free space for listeners facing similar struggles.

Most powerfully, they share Ralph Waldo Emerson's profound wisdom: "Do the thing you fear most and the fear will leave you." This courage to act despite discomfort—to do it afraid—often becomes the pathway to freedom. Whether you're paralyzed by anxiety or simply seeking greater peace, this episode provides both compassionate understanding and practical tools for standing steadfast when life feels overwhelming. Listen, apply these principles, and discover how to manage your emotions rather than letting them manage you.

Fear and anxiety touch all our lives, yet many of us—even believers—find ourselves trapped in their grip despite knowing God calls us to peace. In this heartfelt conversation, hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson share their personal journeys with anxiety while offering practical biblical solutions for breaking free.

"I've had anxiety in my past, even anxiety where it was crippling me," John confesses, immediately creating a safe space for listeners struggling with similar experiences. This raw honesty sets the tone for an episode that doesn't simply offer platitudes but acknowledges the very real battle many face daily.

The hosts explore the fundamental spiritual dynamics behind anxiety—the tension between trust and control. Drawing from Scripture passages like Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:6-7, they reveal how God's word directly addresses our tendency to worry about tomorrow. Valerie shares a powerful insight: "I'll take life half hour by half hour. Sometimes even a day is hard to do," demonstrating that overcoming anxiety is often a moment-by-moment practice rather than an instant transformation.

What sets this episode apart is its practical approach. Beyond encouraging prayer, the hosts outline specific strategies: developing a daily intimate relationship with God, consciously inviting the Holy Spirit into daily decisions, renewing your mind through Scripture meditation, joining supportive small groups, and seeking professional counseling when needed. Each recommendation comes with personal testimony about its effectiveness, offering listeners not just theory but tested pathways to peace.

The conversation culminates with a profound observation about heaven—that we may one day regret all the time wasted in worry and fear when we see God's perfect plan revealed. This eternal perspective invites listeners to begin releasing anxiety today, trusting that the God who sees "the entire parade" of our lives is working even when we can only see today's circumstances.

Ready to break free from the cycle of fear and anxiety? Listen now and discover how to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, even in our increasingly uncertain world.

"God takes what they've been through and turns it to good." These powerful words from Eddie Mansfield capture the essence of his extraordinary transformation story shared on Road to Redemption.

Eddie's journey begins in Owensboro, Kentucky, where despite a loving Christian upbringing, he veered into substance abuse at age 15. What followed was a 23-year descent through addiction, wasted opportunities, and escalating legal troubles. By age 38, Eddie found himself in an Atlanta jail cell facing a potential 10-year sentence for methamphetamine possession. It was here, at his lowest point, that something unexpected happened—he reconnected with faith through a fellow inmate who knew the Bible intimately.

While Eddie studied Scripture behind bars, his mother began having recurring dreams that her son would someday lead a faith-based recovery program—visions that seemed impossible given his circumstances. Then came what Eddie can only describe as divine intervention: three days before Christmas 2006, through an unexpected act of mercy from a retiring district attorney, Eddie was released directly to a rehab facility in Destin, Florida. Christmas Eve became his sobriety date, marking the beginning of a radical life transformation.

Today, Eddie serves as director of Path of Grace, a thriving women's recovery ministry with 54 residents and 12 graduates in transition. His personal experience with addiction fuels his compassion and effectiveness in helping others find freedom. With his wife Kayla (herself a recovery success story) by his side, Eddie's life stands as powerful testimony that no one is beyond redemption and that our deepest pain can become our most powerful platform for helping others.

June Kohls draws listeners in with a profound parallel between her life journey and the Samaritan woman at the well. Like Jesus who traveled specifically to meet this outcast woman, June reveals how God purposefully seeks us in our lowest moments, offering living water when we feel most unworthy.

Growing up with an angry father and a codependent mother, June felt invisible even within her church community where leaders seemed to favor children from "normal" families. Despite early rejection, she maintained a unique connection with Jesus, asking not why her circumstances were difficult, but simply for God to heal her parents' hearts. This foundation of childlike faith eventually blossomed into her life's calling.

After marrying young and losing her infant daughter to medical negligence, June nearly succumbed to despair. The birth of her son Chad gave her reason to persevere as a single mother. Through remarkable divine intervention, a company owner offered to back her in starting a successful clothing store. Later, intentional Bible study transformed her relationship with Christ, leading to founding Heart to Cross, a ministry serving 150 women through both spiritual guidance and practical assistance.

When a stroke left June permanently blind in one eye, she recognized it as a spiritual attack. Rather than retreating, she doubled down on her commitment: "The devil was not taking me from my ordained calling." This resilient faith exemplifies how God weaves even our most painful experiences into something redemptive. June now leads women's groups at Destiny Worship Center, offering the same living water that transformed her life to others seeking wholeness.

What happens when spiritual warfare enters our daily lives and we don't even recognize it? Former Air Force special operations intelligence officer Sam Sterett pulls back the curtain on the unseen battles affecting men, marriages, and families in this eye-opening conversation.

"Nine times out of ten, most men don't realize they're exactly where the devil wants them to be," Sterett reveals, speaking from years of military experience and spiritual growth. His insights expose how pornography, thrill-seeking, and even the constant distraction of digital devices create entry points for spiritual attacks that slowly erode our relationships with God and family.

The discussion takes an unexpected turn when the guests examine how modern technology has compromised our spiritual disciplines, such as our cell phones and the access they can provide to allow things in that are not holy. This conversation doesn't shy away from practical realities: how military culture often sidelines faith, how PTSD requires both professional and spiritual healing approaches, and why the simplest prayer—"Jesus help me"—might be the most powerful one you can pray.

What truly sets this episode apart is its practical roadmap for spiritual growth: dive into Scripture daily, find a truth-speaking church community, and commit to a small group where authentic relationships flourish. For veterans struggling with faith questions or anyone battling unseen forces in their daily life, Stewart offers this challenge: "Are we getting closer to God or further away? What are we worshiping?"

Ready to recognize the battlefield of your mind and develop spiritual disciplines that actually work? This conversation provides both the wake-up call and the hope you've been searching for.

The deepening influence of social media, technology, and worldly values on children has created unprecedented challenges for parents trying to raise kids with strong spiritual foundations. In this eye-opening conversation, licensed mental health therapist's Valerie Peterson and Joy Makala share transformative insights on positive parenting through a biblical lens.

Joy begins by addressing a fundamental truth many parents overlook—we naturally parent as we were parented, unless we intentionally choose a different path. Rather than relying on societal messages, she points to Scripture as the ultimate parenting manual, emphasizing that parents must position themselves as their children's primary spiritual influencers in a world full of competing voices.

Prayer emerges as the cornerstone of effective parenting throughout the discussion. Joy encourages parents to "get on their knees" to seek divine guidance for their children's unique journeys, sharing powerful perspectives on how spiritual intervention provides wisdom beyond human capability. She and host Valerie Peterson explore practical ways families can document prayer requests together, allowing children to witness God's faithfulness firsthand.

The conversation offers refreshingly practical strategies for creating meaningful family connections in our digital age. From establishing "low-tech, no-tech" times to creating dedicated family nights and meal times, listeners gain actionable steps for fostering genuine relationships. Joy's insight that "boundaries communicate love" provides a compassionate framework for setting limits that protect children's long-term wellbeing.

Perhaps most counter-cultural is Joy's emphasis on prioritizing the marriage relationship over parent-child relationships. "The greatest gift parents can give children is a strong marriage," she explains, challenging the child-centered approach prevalent in today's society. This foundation of family stability requires intentional effort but yields profound benefits.

The episode concludes with a heartfelt encouragement to find community support through mentorship, small groups, and church involvement. No parent should attempt this challenging journey alone—the corporate anointing of spiritual community provides refreshment and strength for every season of parenting.
