Shame to Freedom with Cory Neal and Steve Coppi

In this powerful conversation, Steve Coppi and Corey Neal share their journey from decades of sexual shame to newfound freedom through honesty, accountability and a personal relationship with Jesus.Steve reveals how his 45-year battle with pornography addiction began at age 12 and continued until he was 57. Rock bottom came when suicidal thoughts and unbearable hypocrisy drove him to make a desperate call to Corey. That single phone call began a transformation process when Corey responded not with judgment but with compassionate understanding: "That's not the worst I've heard before. You're going to be all right."The conversation dives deep into how true accountability operates—not as behavior policing but as a confessional space where men can finally bring their darkest struggles into the light. Drawing from James 5:16, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective".  They emphasize that confession to trusted brothers provides the pathway to healing that so many desperately seek.What sets this episode apart is the practical roadmap they offer for those currently struggling. They share how recovery begins with breaking denial, surrendering to a process, and participating in specialized groups where men find the tools, community, and biblical guidance necessary for lasting freedom. They emphasize that while the journey isn't easy, it leads to a life they never thought possible—marriages in restoration and reconnection with children.For leaders and those wanting to help others, Steve and Corey announce their upcoming Men of Valor Conference on October 10-11, 2025 in Santa Rosa Beach FL, designed to equip people with the tools and understanding to effectively support those battling sexual addiction.Ready to break free from sexual bondage or help someone who is?
