The 3 Things Killing Your Potential as A Man: Pride, Procrastination, and Lust | Season 3

Episode Summary We're asking one question to as many men as we can: What is the main problem men are facing in society based on your experience? In our first episode, hosts Jackson and Rachael sit down with Jeremy — South Florida filmmaker, entrepreneur, and man of faith — and his answer cuts straight to the bone: pride, procrastination, and lust. What follows is one of the most honest conversations you'll hear a man have on camera. This isn't a shame spiral. It's a roadmap. Guest Jeremy — Filmmaker and owner of a production company serving luxury resorts and hotels, documentary storyteller, and founder of the nonprofit Rock Jar, inspired by the Israelites' practice of building stone altars to remember God's faithfulness. Currently engaged and living in South Florida. (@Seasidemedia on instagram ) Key Topics Covered Lust & Pornography Addiction — Jeremy opens up about how pride fed his struggle with lust and objectifying women, and how God transformed his perspective — learning to see women as the Father's daughters rather than objects for his own gratification. The Damage Porn Does in Relationships — Rachael shares her firsthand experience being in a relationship with someone deep in pornography addiction, describing the invisible but devastating toll it takes on a woman's sense of worth, attractiveness, and visibility. "You know when they look right through you. You're wallpaper." Women's Accountability in Modesty — A candid, balanced discussion about cultural norms around clothing, the tension between freedom and conviction, and the encouragement for women to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance rather than respond to external pressure. Why Discipline Alone Fails — Drawing from Colossians 2:20–23, Jackson challenges the idea that accountability systems and self-imposed rules can defeat deep-rooted sin. Willpower has an expiration date. The real answer is surrender, not strain. Passivity & Procrastination in Men — Jeremy reframes procrastination as passivity — a failure to show up, follow through, and lead. The parable of the talents and Proverbs' image of the ant are both referenced. Men were made to move. The Power of Male Community — All three speakers agree: isolation is a tool of the enemy. Men need other men — a pack, a mentor, a group with shared purpose. Not to confess failure in discouraging cycles, but to pursue Christ together with eyes forward. Morning Prayer as a Starting Point — A practical, low-barrier encouragement: five minutes in the morning, phone down, no music. Just "Hey God, I'm here. What do you want?" That's enough to begin. Biblical Submission Reframed — Jeremy closes with a clarification on the husband-as-head-of-household passage: both spouses submit toward each other and toward Christ — mutual, inward, love-driven. Not one person lording over another. Scriptures Referenced 1 Corinthians 6 — Sexual sin as sin against your own body Colossians 2:20–23 — Disciplines have no power against the indulgence of flesh Matthew 6:33 — "Seek first the kingdom of God…" Proverbs 18:1 — He who isolates himself seeks his own desire Song of Solomon — The bridegroom and bride as a picture of Christ and the church The Parable of the Talents — Risk, passivity, and multiplying what you're given Psalm 46:10 — "Be still and know" Book Recommended Abiding in Christ — Andrew Murray A 31-day devotional on living in moment-by-moment communion with Christ. Jeremy credits it as transformational for both his walk and his freedom from addiction. Take as many days per entry as you need. That's the point. Key Quotes "What you set your eyes on — that is where you're going to go." — Jeremy "Your disciplines can get you by, but you're still wrestling with the original sin." — Jackson "I love this more than you, Lord. He's not going to be upset when you say that." — Jeremy "Men need men. No one person can be everything." — Rachael Practical Takeaways Remove yourself from situations where you've fallen before — change the environment Be honest with God about loving the sin, not just performing repentance Find a group pursuing Christ together, not just managing failure Start with five minutes of quiet in the morning before the phone comes out Get a mentor — someone older who has walked it About This Series Each episode, one man. One question. The answers are already revealing a pattern. If you're a man with something to say — we want to hear it.
