Great content

I have really enjoyed Drew’s you tube channel for quite some time now! I have the option to listen to this podcast while at work or doing daily life. I love his genuine love and desire to help men outgrow porn. This podcast is helpful, uplifting and encouraging! Thank you for the stories and interviews all pointing back to Jesus! Keep up the good work brother!

Changed for the Better ,

A Life Changing Program

Husband Material’s Drew Boa weekly explores male sexuality in all its aspects. Although it’s main purpose is to “help Christian men outgrow porn and save their marriage” it is so much more and can help men of all faiths, both married and single. I have found answers to questions I’ve had for many years but not known where to find someone who will
talk on the topics covered in these podcasts. Drew speaks frankly, honestly and explicitly but in an uplifting and positive manner that gives hope to the hopeless, encouragement to those who struggle and practical advice that can change the lives of those who apply his simple but profound advice.

Like nothing I’ve ever seen before

This podcast was my introduction to Drew and to the Husband Material community and its altered my life. At the beginning it was me learning about my own desires and sexuality and how they were formed out of pain. I love the sense of care and kindness that Drew brings to each topic. As I have become more involved in the community and now participated in the Husband Material retreat twice, I can say I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve made my closest friendships and experienced deep restoration. Husband Material is really a culture that honors the experience of being a male, the good parts and the less good parts, and aims to reconnect us with the Jesus who never rejects us.
