83 - How The 5 Love Languages Are Helping Guys Get Free
Years ago Dr. Gary Chapman coined the concept of the 5 Love Languages – the simple idea that each of us has preferences for how we give and receive love. This concept burst onto the scene, healing marriages, relationships, families and lives, in the process. While the application is typically in a relationship context, at DeepClean we have found the Love Languages to be helpful in a recovery context as well. Today's episode explores this dynamic in further detail. NOTE: This episode was recorded live on Instagram and Clubhouse.

76 - How A Renowned Male Stripper (Rob Kowalski) Became A Best-Selling Abstinence Author
Rob Kowalski was raised by a 15 yr old mother with no strong male role model in the picture. He taught himself how to “be a man”, and eventually became the most sought-after male stripper in his hometown of Baltimore. At 25, he became a nightclub promoter and took over the nightlife in Charm City. His life looked like something out of a movie - full of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Then he had a radical life-changing encounter with Jesus that transformed him forever. God turned his mess into his message and he is now considered the #1 authority on sex, waiting for the right person, and overcoming loneliness in life. In this candid interview, Rob details his story while explaining the importance of men having an adventure (to escape boredom) and the benefits of waiting until marriage to have sex in very practical terms.
DISCLAIMER: Rob uses slightly more colorful language than our average guests and his background story is graphic at times. Listener discretion is advised.
