    🎙️ “When Numb Isn’t Working Anymore – The Battle to Live Fully Alive” with Doug Nielson

    Send us a text 🎙️ “When Numb Isn’t Working Anymore – The Battle to Live Fully Alive” with Doug Nielson In this soul-stirring Part 3 of the Warrior Heart series, Jason Coombs sits down with licensed psychotherapist and Warrior Heart co-founder Doug Nielsen to uncover what really keeps men stuck in cycles of addiction, burnout, and emotional disconnection—and what it takes to break free. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, personal recovery, and transformative men’s retreats, Doug shares a raw, powerful framework for reclaiming agency, healing the heart, and living fully alive. This isn’t about behavior change—it’s about identity, faith, and the courageous journey back to who you were created to be. Whether you’re in recovery, love someone who is, or simply feel like you’ve lost touch with your purpose—this conversation will wake something up inside you. 🔥 Episode Highlights: [02:59] Warrior Heart changed Jason’s life[07:35] “I want to live fully alive… and help others do the same.”[13:18] Disconnection from God as the root of addiction[15:26] Why the heart is the real battleground[22:18] Counterfeit adventure and the pain of false validation[26:29] The nobility of divine masculinity[31:40] Why clarity often comes in silence and solitude[34:03] Practical outcomes from Warrior Heart retreats. 💡 Key Themes: Take Life by the Helm: Doug introduces a powerful framework of anchors, compasses, and the North Star to help men rediscover direction, purpose, and peace.The 3 Core Desires: A battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to pursue. When these are unmet, men settle for counterfeits—substances, status, or thrill-seeking.Agency & Identity: Recovery is a return to the present moment, where God speaks and where real change begins.The Power of Retreat: Jason shares how a single Warrior Heart weekend created clarity in his relationship with his daughter—and how silence and nature cut through the noise of everyday life.🙏 Final Takeaway: Recovery isn’t just about getting clean. It’s about remembering who you are, whose you are, and what you were made for. Doug’s message is clear: You are not broken. You are noble. And it’s time to come home. 📚 Resources Mentioned: For more information about Warrior Heart Bootcamp for men visit www.awarriorheart.com https://awarriorheart.com/ $100 DISCOUNT CODE for Warrior Heart = 2026Brick100 To learn more about the women’s retreat, Heart of a Woman:  https://theheartofawoman.net/ $100 DISCOUNT CODE for Heart of a Woman = 2026Brick100 Book: Take Life by the Helm by Doug Nielsen https://a.co/d/fbs3GxtWild at Heart by John EldredgeUnhooked by Jason Coombs https://a.co/d/aOymJ3wBricJoin Jason Coombs LIVE each week for tips and tricks and LIVE Q&A’s.

    “ The Pose Every Man Hides Behind and Why Dropping It Changes Everything” with Duane Crabtree

    Send us a text Dropping the Pose Is Where Healing Starts. I used to think most men were struggling with behavior. But a lot of the time, they’re struggling with hiding. In Part 2 of the Warrior Heart series, I sit down with Duane Crabtree, Executive Director of Warrior Heart, to talk about the mask men wear and why most of us don’t even see it. What looks like confidence is often fear. What looks like strength is often self-protection. We talk about porn, people-pleasing, compulsive behaviors, and the quiet search for validation that drives so many men. We also get practical about what it means to fight for your beauty. Not with grand gestures. With presence, safety, and emotional intimacy. This episode is for men who are tired of performing. And for women who want to understand what’s really happening behind the silence. In this episode, you’ll hear: What “the poser” is and why it hides in plain sightThe two questions every man is asking and why taking them to people keeps him stuckHow fatherlessness shapes every man, even with a good dadWhat women actually need and how it differs from what men assumeSimple ways to battle for her heart without slipping back into the poseA sacred moment of brotherhood and grief that changed how I showed up for my familyThis is Part 2 of 3. If Part 1 opened the door to identity, this one shows what happens when a man finally stops faking it.

    “What Most Men Never Say Out Loud About Their Identity“ with Chris Bennett

    Send us a text Recovery doesn’t end when you get sober. For many men, the real work starts after the crisis passes. In Episode 40 of Get Unhooked, Jason Coombs shares why long-term sobriety still isn’t the same as emotional and spiritual freedom. After years in recovery, he found a new layer of healing through Warrior Heart Bootcamp, a three-day, phone-free men’s retreat designed to help men reconnect with God, brotherhood, and their true identity. This conversation is a window into the male heart. And it’s not just for men. Women will better understand the silent weight many men carry, the fears they rarely voice, and why safety and vulnerability matter so much in lasting recovery. You’ll also meet Chris Bennett, known as the “Hulk of Hope,” whose story of shame, fatherlessness, and transformation became a turning point not only for him, but for his marriage and family. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on identity, healing, and what happens when men stop performing and start getting honest. In this episode, we cover: Why sobriety can plateau without deeper inner workThe vow of silence and why solitude changes menThe three core desires of a man’s heart: battle, adventure, beautyFather wounds, shame agreements, and the search for validationWhat creates real safety for vulnerability in marriage To close this episode with Chris and Autumn Bennett, I want to give you a clear path forward. If something in their story stirred hope, conviction, or even discomfort, pay attention to that. Those are often the signals that real change is available, if you are willing to take the next right step.

    Day 73 of Sobriety: The Epiphany That Launched My New Life!

    Send us a text On day 73 of sobriety, Jason Coombs was standing outside a hardware store in Salt Lake City wearing an apron and grilling bratwursts for minimum wage. He was trying not to be seen. The shame was loud. Then one conversation flipped the script and launched a new life built on purpose, service, and usefulness. In this episode, Jason shares the exact moment he stopped treating sobriety like the finish line and started living recovery as a daily decision. We talk about how relapse patterns usually begin with emotions long before substances, how one simple question can interrupt the spiral, and why purpose shows up in the process, not after everything is fixed. This is for anyone rebuilding after relapse, walking through recovery, or loving someone who is. Episode Highlights (timestamps) [00:00:31] Introduction: Beyond Sobriety to Transcendence[00:01:25] The Hot Dog Stand Reality Check[00:02:43] The Ego Death Moment[00:04:30] Recognizing the Relapse Pattern[00:05:22] The Serenity Prayer in Action[00:07:01] The Conversation That Changed Everything[00:08:11] Discovering Purpose Through Usefulness[00:10:23] The Tree-Cutting Metaphor[00:12:12] What Can You Change Right Now?[00:13:40] Stepping Stones of Purpose[00:15:21] When Work Becomes Play[00:17:07] Purpose Happens in the Process[00:19:20] Transcendence Is a Decision, Not a Destination[00:23:24] Sharing Your Story With WisdomJoin Jason Coombs LIVE each week for tips and tricks and LIVE Q&A’s.
