Helping Men Get Free: Addiction, Healing & Real Freedom – Nick Redd – 06/23/2026

Meet Nick Redd Nick is a co-founder and freedom coach with The Freedom Group, living in Kansas City with his wife, Theresa, and their growing family. After 15 years in full-time ministry, he launched The Freedom Group three years ago. His Story Raised in a strong faith background, Nick knew the rules but stayed trapped in a cycle of confession and relapse that grew into addiction. In 2009 he hit rock bottom and met Christ in a life-changing conversion — a healing that now fuels his mission to walk alongside other men. The Mission The Freedom Group helps men get free from pornography, lust, and other addictions and reclaim their God-given identity. Nick is convicted that families, culture, and society rise and fall on whether men will "get in the arena" of their own lives, and the group is now partnering with dioceses and seminaries to expand that work. The Approach Nick reframes addiction as a learned "solution" to pain rather than a simple moral failing. The Freedom Group's year-long, multi-phase curriculum is built on the neuroscience of redemptive suffering — learning to feel and suffer well, reframe cravings, and practice presence — so a man can show up fully for his spouse, his kids, his God, and himself. He also points listeners to Gerald May's book Addiction and Grace.
