We were joined by Pastor Mike Novotny for a candid and thought-provoking discussion about the topics many Christians shy away from—pornography, sexuality, mental health, and more. In this episode, we explore why avoiding these conversations can cause more harm than good and how approaching them with humility, empathy, and biblical truth can transform lives and relationships.
Pastor Mike shares his own story of healing through vulnerability, offers practical insights on addressing tough topics with family and community, and explains why boldness in faith often begins with uncomfortable honesty.

In this episode, Adam’s best friend, Evan Grizzle, joins us to discuss the vital yet often-overlooked role of male friendships in a world increasingly marked by disconnection. We explore why social media can’t replace real relationships, how isolation impacts mental health and decision-making, and why pursuing consistent, meaningful friendships is essential for emotional and spiritual well-being.
Yes, even for men. Hear Evan offer practical advice for building deeper connections and remind us that true vulnerability strengthens masculinity rather than diminishing it.

Thank you for submitting this question! Let's break down the complexities surrounding this issue and address the impact of secrecy on intimacy in marriage. Secrets can create barriers, and nothing should be done behind closed doors.

Marriage isn’t a partnership, and it certainly isn’t 50/50. Sounds controversial, right? The word “partner” is widely used in our culture today when referring to a husband, wife, etc., but thinking of your spouse as a partner can actually be quite toxic to your marriage. If this has been the case in your relationship, we’re going to outline how to reframe it in a way that gives you a much better chance of thriving.
