147: Why Knowing More About God Has Never Helped Men Beat Addiction and What Actually Does

In this episode you will learn: - Why information about God that never reaches the body will never change behavior that lives in the body - Why the nervous system is the doorway to the Divine and regulation is what makes spirituality real - Your action step today — one physical practice done as prayer not performance Click play now if you have more knowledge about God than ever and less freedom than you expected.

146: Why Men Think They Are Fine and Still Cannot Stop the Behavior

Today — life can look completely fine on the outside while a man is dying on the inside. I know because I lived it. Stability is not healing. It is the most dangerous place an addicted man can stand without a spiritual practice holding him there. The nervous system will always tell you the truth your mind is trying to hide. In this episode you will learn: - Why stability is not healing and why it is the most dangerous place an addicted man can stand without a spiritual practice - Why the nervous system will always tell you the truth your mind is trying to hide - Why the spiritual life is not what you say you believe — it is what your body does when nobody is watching Click play now if everything looks fine on the outside and you know something is still wrong on the inside.

145: Why Men Who Try Harder in Their Faith Keep Relapsing and What to Do Instead

I spent my whole life trying to be good enough for God. Then I learned presence was the only thing he ever asked for. Trying harder in your faith without regulating your nervous system is just white knuckling with a Bible in your hand. There is a better way and it starts with five minutes of stillness instead of five more years of performance. In this episode you will learn: * Why trying harder in your faith without regulating your nervous system is just white knuckling with a Bible in your hand * Why presence is available right now exactly as you are and performance is the thing blocking it * Your action step today — five minutes of stillness with nothing to prove Click play now if you are tired of trying harder and still ending up in the same place.

144: Why the God Men Were Taught Keeps Them Stuck in Addiction and Shame

The God I preached about for thirteen years could not save me. The God I found in silence did. Most men were handed a version of God that demands performance and punishes failure. That God does not break the addiction cycle, but feeds it. There is a different way to encounter the Divine and it has nothing to do with being good enough. In this episode you will learn: * Why the God of performance keeps men stuck because that god can never be satisfied * Why shame based religion and addiction run on the exact same fuel * Why the God who lives in silence asks for presence not perfection Click play now if the God you were taught has never once made you feel free.

143: Why Cold Water Is a Spiritual Practice and How Men Access God Through the Nervous System

It is one of the most direct spiritual practices available to men who have spent years performing prayer without ever experiencing presence.
