    Battling Cultural Expectations: The Challenge of Vulnerability for Men in Society

    Battling Cultural Expectations: The Challenge of Vulnerability for Men in Society

    Are you hiding parts of yourself out of fear or shame, most notably in relation to sexual sins and insecurities? 

    You're not alone.

    We'll venture back to the Garden of Eden, exploring the original concept of being 'naked and unashamed', and how our perception of vulnerability has been distorted since sin became part of our world.

    This episode serves as a sanctuary to inspect our fears, acknowledging that it's normal to feel endangered as we expose our truest selves, and how experiences of shame often amplify this apprehension.

    Trusting in societal norms that equate strength with solitude can lead us astray. In fact, we challenge the misconception that the 'better' you are, the less you need others.

    Instead, we promote interdependence and community, asserting that the healthiest, most attractive, and godly among us are those integrated individuals who are not afraid to reveal their true selves to reliable friends or spouses.

    For those wrestling with sexual integrity and recovery from unwanted sexual behavior, this discussion highlights the importance of unearthing the parts of ourselves we've often buried. 

    Join us, as we confront the falsehood that has kept us prisoners and embrace the liberation of being wholly known and loved.

    Navigating the Intersection of Spiritual Needs and Human Desires

    Navigating the Intersection of Spiritual Needs and Human Desires

    Have you ever paused to consider that our sexual desires are essentially a longing for God's presence?

    In our enlightening conversation, we unearth the profound connection between our physical desires and our spiritual hunger.

    We discuss the concept that temptations, such as pornography and other sexual behaviors, are not mere urges but indicators of a deeper yearning for God.

    What if our sexual integrity is intertwined with understanding these signals and aligning them with God's design for sexuality? 

    Shame plays a significant role in our lives, shaping our actions and choices. But instead of labeling ourselves negatively, we shift our perspective.

    We unveil how our temptations are born from a thirst for God's goodness. We delve into our human needs for comfort, power, tenderness, and pleasure, and discuss how to harmonize them with our spiritual needs.

    Our discussion aims to guide you through this sensitive topic with empathy, helping you uncover actual cravings beneath the surface. Join us as we help illuminate your journey towards sexual integrity, resonating with God's vision for sexuality.

    Beyond the Label: Exploring the Pros and Cons of Identifying as a Sex Addict

    Beyond the Label: Exploring the Pros and Cons of Identifying as a Sex Addict

    Can calling oneself a 'sex addict' serve as a stepping stone toward healing, or does it become a stumbling block on the path to sexual wholeness?

    Join me, Josh Glazer, in an intense exploration of this provocative subject, where we dissect the benefits and potential downsides of adopting this potentially loaded label. 

    Through the lens of my personal journey from sexual addiction towards sexual integrity, we address the humbling effect of acknowledging the addictive nature of sin and recognizing our own inability to conquer it alone.

    Yet, we also highlight why our ministry prefers to avoid this tag, citing its capacity to hamper recovery and growth.

    Venture further with me as we probe the dark side of the 'sex addict' label and its capacity to snuff out hope and deter us from taking healthy risks. As we peel back the layers, we'll unmask the divine intent behind our sexuality, revealing its purpose as a mirror reflecting God's magnificent design.

    You'll gain a fresh perspective on how our sexuality and spirituality should be intertwined, driving us to point others towards God.

    Brace yourself for an eye-opening discussion on the power of embracing risks, remembering that growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones and learning to view the world through the lens of love.

God’s Wisdom about Sexuality

I learned about this podcast from a representative of Regeneration Ministries who spoke at my church’s singles’ meeting, and I’ve been listening ever since. The host and guest speakers address topics pertaining to our sexuality and identity that seem to be tabu in families and in churches. It’s encouraging to hear God’s Word applies lovingly to these sensitive topics and discussed in a way that leaves me feeling hopeful, loved by God, and understood instead of ashamed. I’ve shared many episodes with family and friends who are also grappling with these topics.

I have been listening to this podcast for years and I share this with all the men I know who need to be encouraged in their journey of wholeness. I find the wide range of topics and the pastoral presence in each episode nurturing and filled with hope.

Love without compromise

I am so impressed that love is so clearly the main message and yet truth is never compromised. Jesus never left anyone He encountered in their sin. Thank you for speaking truth.
