    150: Why Addicted Men Who Look for Worth Outside Themselves Never Find It and What to Do Instead

    I spent forty years looking for proof that I was worth something. The proof was never out there. It was always already in here. Most men are looking for their worth in performance, approval, achievement, and other people's opinions. None of those things can give a man what he is actually looking for. Worth is not earned. It was always already there. In this episode you will learn:  Why worth that depends on performance or approval is not worth — it is a contract that always expires Why the man who cannot find worth in himself will keep looking for himself in the wrong places Why love begins in yourself from yourself and everything else flows from thereClick play now if you have been chasing proof of your worth your whole life and still come up empty.

    148: Why Being Born Again Once Was Never Enough and What Men Need Every Morning Instead

    Today — I was born again once in a church aisle at eight years old. I am born again every single morning now.

    147: Why Knowing More About God Has Never Helped Men Beat Addiction and What Actually Does

    Today — I used to think knowing more about God would save me. It never did. Feeling God did. Information about God that never reaches the body will never change behavior that lives in the body. The nervous system is the doorway to the Divine and regulation is not instead of spirituality — it is what makes spirituality real.

    145: Why Men Who Try Harder in Their Faith Keep Relapsing and What to Do Instead

    I spent my whole life trying to be good enough for God. Then I learned presence was the only thing he ever asked for.

There is a better way and it starts with five minutes of stillness instead of five more years of performance.

    144: Why the God Men Were Taught Keeps Them Stuck in Addiction and Shame

    The God I preached about for thirteen years could not save me. The God I found in silence did. Most men were handed a version of God that demands performance and punishes failure. That God does not break the addiction cycle, but feeds it. There is a different way to encounter the Divine and it has nothing to do with being good enough. In this episode you will learn: Why the God of performance keeps men stuck because that god can never be satisfiedWhy shame based religion and addiction run on the exact same fuelWhy the God who lives in silence asks for presence not perfectionClick play now if the God you were taught has never once made you feel free.
