Today’s podcast covers a LOT of territory, including the complexities of masturbation, its connection to our emotional health, and the differences between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset when it comes to living in victory over sexual sin. Our guest today is Matt Cline, founder of Restored Ministries. In our conversation, we explore the significant role emotional well-being plays in navigating sexual brokenness. We emphasize the importance of understanding our emotions to discover genuine happiness and connection. We also explore the intriguing concept of scarcity versus abundance in the context of our sexuality. Matt&#39;s perspective on how a scarcity mindset can lead to feelings of isolation is eye-opening, and he highlights how adopting an attitude of gratitude can help us perceive our lives more abundantly.To cap off the conversation, we point listeners to some valuable resources provided by Restored Ministries, including the <a href="https://purefc.ca/" rel="nofollow">Pure Freedom Community</a> and the <a href="https://www.restoredministries.ca/purevictory" rel="nofollow">Pure Victory Podcast</a>, which offer support to those on this path. To learn more about Matt and his ministry, visit <a href="http://RestoredMinistries.ca" rel="nofollow">RestoredMinistries.ca</a>.Topics Covered in this Episode: <ul><li>Masturbation and its prevalence among men</li><li>Emotional health and its impact on sexual brokenness</li><li>Scarcity versus abundance mindset in the context of sexual brokenness</li><li>The significance of identifying and acknowledging emotions</li><li>Transformative experiences of individuals in recognizing and expressing emotions</li><li>Detrimental effects of living in a scarcity mindset</li><li>Encouragement to shift towards gratitude and thankfulness</li><li>Resources available through Restored Ministries for support and guidance</li><li>Importance of emotional health in the journey towards healing and wholeness</li></ul> More Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.restoredministries.ca/pfj" rel="nofollow">Pure Freedom Journey</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bebroken.org/gateway-to-freedom" rel="nofollow">Gateway to Freedom 3-Day Intensive</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3w5LXSy" rel="nofollow">49 Days of Growth</a>*</li></ul>Related Podcasts:<ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/YKzSwzQpLy4" rel="nofollow">Overcoming Shame and Embracing Your True Identity</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/y0aGoZ1D1SU" rel="nofollow">When Shame Gets Real (with Carl Thomas)</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/p0IamwQOGVk" rel="nofollow">Are You Open or Closed to Emotional Growth?</a></li></ul> *This is an affiliate link.

Understanding Female Sexuality and Struggles

The world, especially in the West, is awash in all forms of sexual brokenness and confusion. And much of this brokenness and confusion is present in the Church. How can we help Christians understand God’s design for sex and live it out in our local churches and communities?Today we have Daniel Weiss back on the program with us to discuss these issues. Daniel is the president of Sexual Integrity Leaders, a ministry dedicated to equipping, supporting, and collaborating with Christian leaders to promote Gospel-centered sexuality in the Church.Much of our conversation revolves around the Identity Project, a platform containing many teaching videos from multiple leaders in various arenas of expertise regarding biblical sexuality. We talk about why these teachings are important for every Christian, especially topics like the “image of God,” singlehood and sexuality, and how our true identity is rooted in community.To learn more about Daniel and Sexual Integrity Leaders, visit <a href="http://SexualIntegrityLeaders.com" rel="nofollow">SexualIntegrityLeaders.com</a>. To learn more about the Identity Project, visit <a href="http://IdentityProject.tv" rel="nofollow">IdentityProject.tv</a>.

Addiction recovery is hard work. It is the process of learning to live in a whole new way apart from old, harmful, compulsive patterns.

Why is pornography such a big deal? This is a common question in the culture, but not necessarily one of alarm, but rather questioning why ministries like ours and many others even exist. Is there any real harm to pornography?To help us answer these questions we have Nick Stumbo back on the program. Nick is the Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries and an author and speaker on sexual issues from a Christian worldview. In our conversation, Nick shares many of the negative effects of porn: biological, mental, emotional, and relational. We look at the many unhealthy patterns porn promotes, the natural trajectory of tolerance (both individually and culturally), the linkage between human trafficking and porn, and then how to live free from the negative effects of porn. Finally, Nick shares a new video series resource called Living Undefiled that takes an in-depth look at the topics surrounding pornography and human trafficking. To learn more about Nick and Pure Desire, visit <a href="http://PureDesire.org" rel="nofollow">PureDesire.org</a>. To get access to the Living Undefiled course, visit <a href="http://LivingUndefiled.com" rel="nofollow">LivingUndefiled.com</a>.

Sometimes we don’t have a “topic” for the podcast, but instead simply have a conversation with someone with loads of experience and wisdom in sexual struggles and recovery. This is what today’s episode is all about.Our guest is author and speaker, Nate Larkin. He founded the Samson Society, a fellowship of Christian men who are serious about authenticity, community, humility, and recovery. In our conversation, Nate shares his own story of addiction and recovery. Then we dive into lots of questions that draw on his decades of personal and ministerial wisdom that will prove helpful to any man listening who wants to break free from unwanted sexual behaviors. To learn more about Nate and his ministry, visit <a href="http://SamsonSociety.com" rel="nofollow">SamsonSociety.com</a>.

Wisdom from a Sage in Recovery Ministry

How important is trust to emotional health and building strong, mature relationships? It is vital! Yet, many men we have served in our ministry struggle terribly with trust. In today’s episode, Stephen and I are going to dig into this important topic of trust through the lens of one man’s story that begins with him not being able to trust his parents with his thoughts and feelings and ends with him finally living a “love plus trust” story. We will share the distinction between love and trust and how love plus trust takes us even deeper than love alone. We need to learn how to understand trust in its multilayered dimensions if we want to enjoy strong, healthy relationships.For resources from Stephen to help you grow and mature emotionally, visit <a href="http://DoctorMarriage.org" rel="nofollow">DoctorMarriage.org</a>.More Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.bebroken.org/product-page/40-days-to-oneness-1" rel="nofollow">40 Days to Oneness</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3umNH9i" rel="nofollow">Growth Map: The Pathway to Peace, Rest, and Joy</a>*</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/47W6ypr" rel="nofollow">Untangling Emotions</a> by Groves &amp; Smith*</li></ul>Related Podcasts:<ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/yEwEVSwEe_c" rel="nofollow">Men Helping Men Grow and Mature</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/SIBc7Uod8Qo" rel="nofollow">Healing Steps to Rebuild Trust</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/6FwoM8Lkpl8" rel="nofollow">Why Men Struggle to Love</a></li></ul> *This is an affiliate link.

Albert Bandura was a psychologist who is credited with developing the term “human agency,” which refers to how you act, think, and interact with life.In this episode, Stephen and I will unpack the four functions of agency and how they might help us develop better self-awareness and deeper faith and relationships. The 4 functions of agency are: <ol><li>Intentions (or intentionality)</li><li>Outcomes (or expectations)</li><li>Self-regulation</li><li>Self-reflection</li></ol> Agency asks, “Are you paying attention to your own intentions and are you getting better at self-regulating and self-reflecting?’ We hope this conversation will help you understand yourself and others better – and use your agency for good, godly purposes.To learn more about Albert Bandura and his research, visit <a href="http://AlbertBandura.com" rel="nofollow">AlbertBandura.com</a>.More Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/47W6ypr" rel="nofollow">Untangling Emotions</a> by Groves &amp; Smith*</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3uks6y3" rel="nofollow">Growth Map: The Pathway to Peace, Rest &amp; Joy</a> by Stephen Cervantes*</li><li><a href="https://designdiscovery.com/fivefold-spiritual-gifts-test/" rel="nofollow">APEST Spiritual Gifts Test</a></li></ul>Related Podcasts:<ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/sjqIu4z20hw" rel="nofollow">Why Must I Learn Me?</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/dSNRlbVtJzM" rel="nofollow">Understanding 4 Key Roles in Your Story</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/3iYYsUmYDXE" rel="nofollow">About Your Emotional Connecting Skills</a></li></ul> *This is an affiliate link.

Lots of men over the years have shared the sentiment of the following statement: “I’m good as long as I can stay out of my own head.” As we have unpacked this idea with the men who have shared this, there have been four key thoughts that typically keep guys from feeling safe within their own minds.In today’s episode, Stephen and I are going to share these four thoughts. They are: <ol><li>Shame</li><li>Old Stories</li><li>Core Fear</li><li>Unhealthy Fantasies</li></ol> When you can understand how these thoughts operate and how to combat them, you can reclaim that territory in your mind for hope, peace, and joy.For helpful &#34;daily thoughts&#34; on emotional health and growth, visit <a href="https://doctormarriage.org/thoughts/" rel="nofollow">DoctorMarriage.org</a>.
