With so many false narratives, it’s easy to get caught up in deceit, deception, and destruction. We don’t intentionally go out seeking these thoughts, ideas, and concepts that will do damage, but they have a way of creeping into our lives all the same. That’s why it’s crucial that we remain diligent and steadfast in seeking the truth about the way we operate as men. Today, I’m joined by former pornstar turned preacher, Joshua Broome to talk about these lies and, most importantly, how to protect ourselves and our loved ones against them. We talk about the dangers in objectifying others, learning to be comfortable in our own skin, why money and fame won’t satisfy your soul, getting over the false approval of others, and why only you can be you (and, why that’s a huge advantage).
