From Faith To Faithful

Episode #5 - Dealing With Lust

Men, let's talk about the battle nobody wants to discuss. 👇 In our latest podcast episode, we tackle one of the most common—yet least talked about—struggles Christian men face: lust and pornography. The stats are sobering: • Nearly 50% of Christian men ages 18-29 admit to ongoing porn use • 67% of pastors say they've struggled with it at some point • It's destroying marriages, families, and spiritual lives But here's the truth: Common doesn't mean harmless. We dive into: ✅ Why this battle is so hard to talk about ✅ The lies we tell ourselves ✅ How to actually fight back (with a game plan, not just willpower)

Episode #4 - Emptying The Mailbag

Mike and Dave take time to answer viewer feedback and questions concerning the first 3 episodes of the "From Faith To Faithful" podcast. Questions about mentorship, friendship, leading, and serving. Join us as we dive deeper into the topics from our previous episodes.

Episode #3 - Dealing with comparisons

Have you ever caught yourself measuring your life against another man's achievements, wondering why God seems to bless him more than you? Comparison never leads to contentment; it only breeds pride or crushing insecurity. Mike and David offer practical strategies for breaking free: know your God-given assignment, limit social media consumption that feeds comparison, measure your life by faithfulness rather than results, and intentionally build gratitude for what God has already provided. Discover the freedom of faithfulness in your own lane and experience the contentment that comes from trusting God's perfect plan for you.

Competition and Comparison

What if the very drive God gave you to conquer and build could actually pull your heart away from Christ? Pastor Mike Kleitz and David Adams explore this sobering reality as they dive deep into the battleground of male competition and pride. Through honest confessions about lawn-edging wars with neighbors and heated basketball games with his sons, our hosts reveals how our God-given competitive nature can become our spiritual downfall. They unpack the difference between pursuing excellence and pursuing recognition—showing how Scripture calls us to "do all things heartily, as unto the Lord" while "esteeming others better than ourselves." With vulnerable stories about bus ministry disappointments and pastoral comparison traps, see how success becomes a terrible master when it shifts our focus from God's plan to our own pride. This challenge is both convicting and hopeful: channel that competitive fire into memorizing Scripture, find healthy competition that builds rather than destroys, and remember that God called you to run your race, not win someone else's. The stakes couldn't be higher: will you compete for temporary trophies or eternal transformation?

What is a "faithful" man?

We often use the term "faithful", but how does a man of faith implement that in to his daily life? Pastor Mike Kleitz and David Adams discuss that during today's episode.
