Continually going to pornography makes you less human. Your brain has been hijacked by porn. But neuroscience proves you can take it back.

In this episode, Nick and I break down the brain science behind porn addiction—and how to reverse it. Real, actionable steps you can start TODAY to rewire your neural pathways toward genuine freedom.

What you'll discover:

🧠 Why porn addiction is an intimacy disorder (and how your brain's attachment system keeps you stuck)

🔄 The replacement principle: Getting healthy dopamine without porn

👥 Building relational scaffolding when you have zero close friends

💭 The ABCs of cognitive restructuring: How automatic thoughts control your behavior

✍️ "Write it, think it, confess it" - The practice that rewires your belief system

🌱 The SEEDS framework: Five habits that change your brain without you realizing it

The hard truth: Continually going to pornography makes you less human. It isolates you and traps you in a cycle where you're trying to get the reward of intimacy without the risk.

The good news: Your brain has neuroplasticity. Those pathways can be weakened. New ones can be built. You can change.

A Norwegian Olympic athlete shocked the world by confessing an affair on live TV—right after winning bronze. Why? The guilt was heavier than the medal.

If you're a Christian man wrestling with pornography, sexual sin, or patterns you can't seem to break, this episode is for you. We unpack the difference between guilt and shame, why confession alone doesn't always bring freedom, and the biblical path to actually putting down your burden.

In this episode:

• The Norwegian biathlete's viral confession and what it reveals about male guilt
• Why guilt is actually a gift (and how shame keeps you stuck)
• The critical difference between dumping on people vs. biblical confession
• How to process sexual sin in a way that leads to real freedom
• Why you might be picking your burden back up after giving it to Jesus

For Christian men struggling with:Pornography addiction • Sexual integrity • Guilt and shame • Emotional health • Faith and recovery • Marriage after betrayal • Breaking destructive patterns

Most men don't wake up wanting to destroy their integrity. They wake up tired, lonely, and overwhelmed—carrying more than they know how to hold. Pornography doesn't start as rebellion. It starts as relief.

In this episode, Michael is pulling back the curtain on why porn feels so powerful, how it hijacks your brain's bonding systems, and why shame keeps you stuck. This isn't another guilt-driven sermon. This is neuroscience + gospel—clear, grounded, and hope-forward.

You'll learn:• Why loneliness activates the same survival circuits as hunger and thirst• How pornography disciples your desires without you realizing it• The real reason emotional numbing keeps you in the cycle• Five practical steps to break free (that actually work)• Why you can't heal this alone—and what to do instead
