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.
