425 - Manny Arango on Knowing Your Real Identity, Escaping The Scrolling Trap, and Why Extremes Are Rarely Useful
Manny Arango is a Bible nerd, a storyteller, a troublemaker, an overcomer, and a revivalist. Passionate about fighting for people who have lost their voice, Manny strives to inspire those who have lost hope or have settled for mediocre. He is a full time itinerant preacher, completing a doctorate in New Testament studies, and the founder of ARMA, an academic bible study tool that reflects his heart to equip and champion God's people. In this interview, Manny shares about why most solutions we use to change behavior fail because they don't shift identity, the reason new creation theology is necessary for us to live the life God has for us, the bane of overcorrecting in a society that pushes and pulls extremes, and why we must regulate scrolling and device usage in our lives if we truly want to live a fulfilling life.

Today's episode explains how you can change things back and create a new norm for your body & brain, regardless of how long you've had an addiction.

Today's episode explains that while at a primitive level, porn may operate as a stimulus OR relaxant, at a more complex (and accurate) level, it functions as both.

418 - Four Core Needs Every Man Must Master
Many men mistakenly credit/blame their sexual needs for the sexual (mis)behaviors. "I have needs and they have to get met somehow." This line of thinking is actually juvenile and untrue. Sexual urges and impulses are desires, they are not needs. Today's episode explores 4 core needs that drive much of our behavior and day-to-day functioning. These needs WILL get met, the question is how? It is our responsibility to ensure that we find healthy ways, otherwise we find ourselves mired in dysfunctional behaviors like porn addiction.
