It’s a call to spiritual warfare, biblical discipline, and rediscovering identity in Christ.What Erik Covers in This Episode• Lust: Why so many Christian men are silently struggling with pornography… and how Scripture (Matthew 5:28 and 1 Corinthians 6:18-20) shines a light on the true spiritual cost.• Money: How wealth becomes a hidden idol in the lives of believers, how Erik fell into money-driven identity, and what the Bible teaches about true contentment (1 Timothy 6:6-10).• Ego: Why men chase platforms, status, and validation… and how pride subtly becomes self-worship. Erik shares his own journey of ego, career success, insecurity, and surrendering his “platform” to God’s Kingdom.This episode challenges Christian men to examine their hearts honestly and invites them into a deeper walk with Christ… free from the idols that steal peace, purity, and purpose.Biblical Tools to Fight BackErik gives simple, actionable steps to break the cycle of idolatry:• Lust: Weekly accountability + Scripture memorization• Money: Giving, serving, and reordering priorities toward Kingdom impact• Ego: Anonymous acts of service that starve pride and strengthen humilityWhy This MattersMost Christian men battle these struggles alone.
