“Sobriety without transformation is just delayed relapse.”

In this episode, Michael unpacks what actually leads to long-term freedom from pornography—and it’s not what you’ve been told.

Sobriety is not the goal—wholeness is.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why streak-counting and filters will never lead to freedom
• The real reason most guys relapse after weeks or months of “success”

Porn isn’t your biggest problem — it’s just your loudest symptom.

In this episode, we break down why porn is often just a coping mechanism, not the core issue. The real issue? Emotional pain you’ve never learned how to face. Whether it’s shame, unmet needs, or unresolved trauma, we explore how unwanted sexual behavior is rooted in your relational story — and how freedom comes not by fixing the behavior, but by healing the pain beneath it.

Also… yes, we talk Happy Meal toys, Power Rangers, and Space Jam plushies. And we bring back the fan-favorite: Restoration Soul Care’s attachment tissues.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why porn is the smoke, not the fire
• Why behavior modification doesn’t work long-term
• How emotional pain drives compulsive behavior
• The deep relational roots of coping strategies
• How attachment styles influence your sexual struggles
• Why healing starts with curiosity, not condemnation

💬 Reflection Questions:

• What pain are you avoiding?
• How did your family of origin shape your coping strategies?
• What need is your porn use trying to meet?

If you want to heal, you have to feel.

In this episode, we unpack why emotions aren’t the problem — avoiding them is. Using Voice of the Heart as our guide, we explore how every feeling carries both a gift and an impairment. We take a close look at how shame and guilt show up in the recovery journey — and how learning to feel them rightly can actually move us toward healing instead of keeping us stuck.

And yes… we even manage to work the Ninja Turtles into the conversation.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why feeling your feelings is essential for healing
• The 8 core feelings: the gift and the impairment of each
• How shame and guilt operate in addiction and recovery
• The danger of emotional avoidance
• Why God designed emotions as signals, not enemies
• What the Ninja Turtles teach us about emotional health

We are relational creatures, created by a relational God. In this episode, we dive into Genesis chapters 2 and 3 to uncover the original design of our relationships—and how that design helps us understand the root of addiction.

We talk about how disconnection and shame entered the story, why pornography is a false substitute for real connection, and the hope we have in Christ to heal and be restored.

In this episode:

– Why you were made for connection

– How shame fractures intimacy

– What Genesis 2–3 reveals about your story

– Why porn is a relational issue, not just a moral one

– How Christ restores what shame has broken

This is about more than just quitting porn—it’s about reclaiming who you were made to be.

In this episode, we’re diving into the reason so many men stay trapped in porn and sexual addiction for years—even decades.

We’re not talking about willpower or accountability software. We’re talking about the wounds, patterns, and unspoken messages picked up early in life that drive unwanted behavior. You’ll hear us break down one of the key frameworks we use with clients to help them understand the addiction cycle—and why real freedom starts way deeper than behavior management.

Whether you’re in recovery, just starting to get honest, or trying to understand how pornography actually affects men—this conversation will hit home.

You’re not just battling porn. You’re battling the story underneath it.

In this kickoff episode, Michael and Nick lay the groundwork for everything that follows — the emotional, spiritual, and psychological roots of unwanted sexual behavior.

Forget behavior management. This episode digs into why you actually struggle, why it keeps coming back, and what must be rebuilt at the foundation level to experience real, lasting change.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why behavior change without story work always fails
• The 3 core layers that keep men stuck
• How trauma, shame, and disconnection wire your patterns
• What healthy, gospel-centered transformation really looks like

This is for you if:

• You’re tired of white-knuckling it
• You want more than spiritual bandaids
• You’re ready to rebuild your inner life from the ground up
