49: The Lies Trauma Taught You, featuring Scott Stolarick

51: AOK, Want Less & Live More

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael challenge listeners to find satisfaction in the spouse God has given them instead of chasing lustful and counterfeit pleasures. Join in as we unpack cultural, physiological, and godly warnings related to how sexual promiscuity, porn, and fantasy train the heart to crave novelty, making real relationships feel less satisfying. The more we feed unhealthy desires, the more ordinary God’s blessings can seem. True fulfillment grows through faithfulness, gratitude, and investing deeply in the marriage God has already placed in our hands.

50: Playing God: The Illusion of Control

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael tackle the dangerous illusion of control that keeps many men stuck in cycles of sin and self-reliance. They unpack how believing “I’ve got this” can quietly replace dependence on God, leading to pride, isolation, and eventual compromise. Through honest conversation and biblical truth, they remind listeners that real strength begins with surrender—acknowledging our limits and trusting God’s power instead of our own. This episode challenges us to release control, lean into accountability, and discover the freedom that comes from fully placing our lives in God’s hands.

49: The Lies Trauma Taught You, featuring Scott Stolarick

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared sits down with psychotherapist Scott Stolarick to unpack the complicated reality of trauma and the powerful grip it can have on our lives—especially for those struggling with addiction. Together, they explore how trauma often whispers lies about our identity, fuels deep shame, and drives destructive patterns that keep people stuck in cycles of coping rather than healing. But the conversation doesn’t stop at the problem. Scott and Jared point listeners toward hope, reminding them that healing begins when we confront the truth about our pain, bring shame into the light, and allow our wounds to become places where growth, freedom, and restoration can begin.

47: (Part 2 Living Counter-Culturally) Flip the Script

In this episode of Fight Club: Live in Freedom, Jared and Michael walk through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3–10 and reveal how Jesus’ words map the pathway to true freedom for the man or woman recovering from porn or sexual addiction. From being poor in spirit and honest about our brokenness, to hungering and thirsting for righteousness, to pursuing purity of heart, the Beatitudes show that recovery isn’t just behavior modification—it’s heart transformation. Jesus doesn’t offer shame; He offers blessing, mercy, and a new identity. This conversation reminds listeners that lasting freedom is found not in hiding the struggle, but in surrendering it and allowing Christ to reshape our desires from the inside out.
