207. How to Build Brotherhood: The Missing Link in Men’s Freedom and Faith

Brotherhood isn't just a buzzword—it’s God's design for men to thrive.In today’s episode, we dive deep into what true brotherhood is, why it’s crucial in the life of every man, and how to build it in a way that actually transforms lives. This isn’t about casual friendship or surface-level small groups—this is about intentional, mission-driven, Christ-centered relationships that sharpen, support, and sustain men through the highs and lows of life.Inspired by Josh Broome’s story of finding freedom from addiction through real brotherhood, we explore what makes this kind of connection so powerful—and why so many men are missing it.In This Episode, We Cover:✅ What brotherhood is—and isn’t (Psalm 133 as our foundation)✅ The key differences between brotherhood, friendship, and alignment✅ Why proximity doesn’t equal connection✅ The role of commitment, mission, and accountability in brotherhood✅ Standards for staying in (and why sometimes people must be removed)✅ How SEAL teams model brotherhood—and what regular men can learn from them✅ Why brotherhood costs something—and why it's worth everything✅ How to build a men’s group that’s more than just coffee and conversationIf you’re a man craving deeper connection, tired of shallow friendships, or leading a men’s group that feels stuck—this episode will give you the blueprint for real brotherhood.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Level up your greatest asset with us in Mindset Mastery.

206. From Porn Star to Pastor: Josh Broome on Identity, Redemption, and Freedom from Shame

Warning: This episode contains mature themes and is not suitable for young ears.In today’s powerful & raw episode, we’re joined by Josh Broome, a man whose life journey is nothing short of miraculous. From a childhood marked by fatherlessness and a desperate search for identity, to the dark spiral of the porn industry, to a radical transformation through the grace of Jesus Christ—Josh’s story will leave you speechless, inspired, & filled with hope.Josh was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a consistent father figure, always feeling like he needed to prove his worth. After moving to LA to pursue acting, he was pulled into the porn industry after a single video destroyed his mainstream career. Over time, he starred in over 1,000 adult films, made over $1 million, and even won an award for Performer of the Year. Yet despite his “success,” he battled crippling depression, identity loss, and suicidal thoughts.In 2013, at his lowest moment, a simple conversation altered the course of his life. Josh walked away from porn, returned home, became a Christian, and slowly began rebuilding. In 2022, he graduated from Liberty University, and today he is the Executive Director of Walkworthy with the AACC, a husband of 9 years, a father of 4 boys, and a leading voice against pornography and for men's identity in Christ.In this episode, we don’t dive deep into the explicit details of the porn industry—we focus on something far more important: what led him there and how grace brought him out. We explore the loss and recovery of identity, the restoration process through Jesus, and the truth about how pornography damages both those in it and those who consume it.🔥 In This Episode, We Cover:The unseen manipulation and coercion in the porn industryHow objectification distorts identity—for performers and viewers alikeThe small compromises that lead to big consequencesDiscovering worth, identity, and purpose through JesusHealing father wounds and embracing God as FatherThe long road of restoration after trauma and public shameHow Josh found freedom, faith, and intimacy through God’s design for marriageAdvice for men struggling with porn and how to walk in true freedomJosh’s story has been featured by Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and most recently Shawn Ryan, and now he brings his testimony to our community in one of the most compelling episodes we’ve ever done.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Level up your greatest asset with us in Mindset Mastery.
