Are You Ready

from Intentional Guy Hosted by Michael Chestnut

Do you actually want to be free? Not the church answer. Not the answer you'd give your pastor. The real answer. In this powerful episode of The Intentional Guy Podcast, Michael Chestnut challenges men to confront one of the most important questions they'll ever answer: Do you want freedom more than comfort? Freedom from pornography. Freedom from lust. Freedom from secrecy. Freedom from shame. Drawing from his own story of addiction, recovery, and restoration, Michael shares practical strategies, biblical truth, and hard-earned wisdom for men who are tired of living a double life and are ready to become intentional about their recovery journey. In this episode you'll discover: ✅ Why willpower alone is not enough ✅ The prayer that helped Michael find freedom ✅ How to make a covenant with your eyes ✅ Practical tools to fight temptation before it starts ✅ Why accountability is essential for lasting freedom ✅ The hidden pain that pornography is often masking ✅ How the Holy Spirit meets us in our weakest moments Key Scripture: 📖 Job 31:1 "I made a covenant with my eyes..." 📖 Romans 8:26 "The Spirit helps us in our weakness..."
