As we help more and more guys quit porn, I've changed my mind on what the hardest part about quitting is. I used to think it was consistency and falling off, and having to get back on the horse (which is still extremely difficult, to be sure). But recently I've noticed that there's a much deeper issue...and if nobody's ever told you about it, you probably won't randomly uncover it and find success. So, let me share with you my new answer to the hardest part of quitting pornography and take what'...

We run a coaching program to help men break free from pornography addiction, we run a podcast to the same effect, we post on Instagram about it all the time...pretty safe to say we inherently understand and believe porn is bad.

So, to answer that basic but very important question, we're dropping this episode today to show just HOW...

The difference between boys and men is that boys are impatient and think they can get whatever they want without the time and effort that it requires.

In this episode, Sathiya will help you become a MAN by making the choices real men make. In this episode, we discuss: 1:20 Experiencing LAST...

Today Sathiya sits down with Pastor Mike Novotny to discuss his work bringing light to taboo subjects, including pornography addiction, and how Mike was freed from his own addiction. It seems like so many Christians have a hard time talking about subjects that are uncomfortable or make us squirm a little, and sadly that's actually one of the reasons why believers still struggle with things like porn addiction...because we don't confess to one another (regularly!). This is a convicting and very p...
