It seems that God is seeking to draw all of us closer to Him. How close are you to the Lord? Where do you have compromises? Where do your personal values counter God's eternal, Kingdom values? To what sin do you easily yield to? Selfishness? Pride? Anger? Gossip? Self-promotion? Lust? Pornography? Fornication? Harmful habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, overeating? Worry? Drug addiction? God is asking us to lay aside distractions before Jesus returns, so that His power and glory can flow unhindered through us. The greatest move of God the world has ever seen is right in front of us! He wants us to get ready for it!

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Dick Smothers Jr., son of, who else, comedian & musician Dick Smothers, one half of the comedy team, The Smothers Brothers. On this episode, we explore some pretty intense stuff as we get into what it was like growing up with a famous father and a famous uncle whose comedy was a touchstone for comedians of the 1960s. And while Dick Smother's was perhaps one of the best straight men in comedy, the story Dick Smothers Jr. tells us story is anything but rosey. We learn about the attention his dad craved and the strained relationship they have to this day. Moreover, we talk about heavy metal and Dick Jr's 80s band Kamikaze, his fascination with Alister Crowley as well as black magic and his one-time career choice to become an adult actor. Yes, this episode delves into another kind of celebrity, pornography. One we haven't spoken about this before or acter this episode first aired but we delve into it extensively here. We discuss why Dick Jr. chose to become a porn star, why Dick Jr. didn't change his name because…well….he already had the best name in blue movies and what it was like talking to the press knowing his famous name would draw attention. And therein lies the rub. Pun intended. This episode is a frank and serious discussion and we learn a lot about why Dick Jr. chose that career path, his relationship with his father, the challenges of being in ‘the industry' and much more. Puritans beware! So if black magic, pornography and heavy metal were on your Bingo card for this episode of the podcast, you are in luck! Because this is another episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast where everyone has a story. This one is likely one you have never heard before. Take a listen. Yo-Yo Man fans, hang onto your hats!

Click here to book a free clarity call with Sam – https://stopporn.info/ Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here: sam@healingcouples.org Episode Description: In this episode, Sam Tielemans, licensed marriage and family therapist and host of the Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction Podcast, reveals the only plan you need to quit pornography in 2025 — and why everything you've tried before may have failed not because you're broken, but because you've been focused on the wrong problem. Instead of managing urges, guarding against temptation, or just adding more filters and check-ins, this episode explores how pornography use is a coping mechanism — and the real key is learning how to identify and resolve the root cause driving the behavior. Sam shares a powerful analogy using a tipping water bucket to illustrate why men often relapse into porn even when they're doing everything “right.” You'll hear a real story from a husband trying to make sense of why he fell back into porn use, and how the issue wasn't a lack of discipline — it was unresolved shame and emotional pain building up inside. You'll learn: Why the right porn recovery plan must address underlying issues like shame, low self-worth, emotional disconnection, and perfectionism How stress isn't the root issue — but the emotional meanings attached to it are What wives need to understand about pornography addiction in marriage How husbands can rebuild trust in their marriage by showing their wives they're doing the real emotional work Why focusing only on urge management keeps you stuck, tired, and ashamed Whether you're a husband struggling with pornography or a wife trying to understand the healing process, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a clear framework to finally move forward.

"Pornography is the elephant in the room" - Sarah Benson, CEO of Women's Aid, on the organisations' 2024 Annual Report.
Episode 70-- Friends, this may be one of the most important episodes I've ever recorded on the podcast. This is an episode that every parent, and probably every young adult and teen needs to hear. Please listen and then share with everyone you know who could benefit from it.This episode is part 1of this conversation. Part 2 is coming next week where I go through some of the most important things John and I talked about, and I go into them with a little more depth. In part 1, this episode, John Begeman tells his story of pornography exposure as a child that led to years of addiction, shame and hiding. But then he shares the story of the healing he is walking in now as a man in his 20s, free from the bondage porn held in. John also shares how his parents handled this issue of pornography exposure and addiction in his life—what didn't help and what did. He is very honest, and I believe what he shares is incredibly helpful and important for every parent to hear.You can't see it because this is audio and not video, but I cried through this entire episode. I cried for John, for his mom, for every child that is exposed to porn and suffers as a result, and for every mom that finds her child has been exposed to porn and has to navigate the fear and hurt that comes from that. I cried for all of us and the way porn is devastating and destroying lives. This episode is raw and real and honest, but ultimately it is hopeful. YES! There is hope still in the darkness. There is always hope because there is always the love of God, which is bigger and stronger than any darkness.And my hope is that with this episode and then with the next, you will feel empowered with tools to make the best choices to help your kids and yourself, wherever you see yourself in this story. John's testimony as well as the resources he mentions will be such a great help. I pray this episode is a blessing to you and I am so grateful for John and the work he's doing to help set people free.Resources mentioned in this episode:Find Pure Desire Ministries hereFind Summit Ministries hereFind my book It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn hereFind Hopeful Mom hereFind the 7 Pillars workbook and groups hereThe Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Click here to book a free clarity call with Sam – https://stopporn.info/ Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here: sam@healingcouples.org Episode Description: After porn addiction is discovered in a relationship, one question almost always rises to the surface: “Why did you do it?” It's one of the most difficult conversations couples face after betrayal trauma, especially when it involves porn addiction and marriage. Wives are often left reeling — trying to make sense of what happened, searching for answers, and feeling like their entire reality has shifted. Husbands, on the other hand, feel overwhelmed, defensive, or shut down — thinking, “I already told her everything. What more can I say?” In this episode, we break down why the question “Why did he watch porn?” keeps coming up, and why giving the “right answer” is never really the point. We'll explore what's actually going on beneath the surface — and how to respond in a way that leads to emotional connection after betrayal instead of more disconnection. You'll learn: Why “just being honest” isn't always enough to rebuild trust after pornography How this question is often tied to deeper needs for emotional connection and safety Why shame and disclosure can block real healing if not handled with clarity How couples can begin healing from betrayal without getting stuck in endless rehashing The real reason most conversations break down when porn addiction recovery begins — and how to change that dynamic Practical tools for both partners to navigate this with compassion and presence If you're navigating trust after pornography, this episode will help you stop spinning in circles and start having the conversations that actually move you forward. Whether you're early in your porn recovery marriage journey or years into the process, this episode will help you understand how to talk through the pain — not around it — and finally feel like you're making progress together.

Is your brain hijacked—and you don't even know it?In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Greg Denning sits down with Dr. Trish Leigh, brain expert and author, to expose the truth behind how pornography rewires the brain, destroys motivation, and sabotages relationships—especially for men.With practical brain-based strategies and a deep understanding of neuroscience, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how porn addiction isn't about morality—it's about dopamine dependency and brain dysregulation. She outlines the three types of porn addiction (classic, contemporary, and combined), how early exposure affects young men, and why regulating your brain is the first and most critical step toward freedom.You'll also learn how purpose and engagement in life are the ultimate antidotes to destructive behaviors—and how to begin rewiring your brain today. Whether you're a husband, father, or single man looking to reclaim your focus and rebuild your life, this episode will give you real hope and tools for transformation.Key Takeaways:Pornography is a significant problem affecting many lives.Dr. Trish Lee's personal experience led her to study the effects of pornography.95% of people between ages 8 and 85 consume porn, indicating a widespread issue.The age of first exposure to pornography is decreasing, now as young as 8 years old.Pornography consumption can lead to addiction and changes in brain chemistry.The impact of pornography extends to relationships, causing dysfunction and emotional disconnection.Men are increasingly experiencing erectile dysfunction linked to pornography use.Purpose and engagement in life can help combat the negative effects of pornography.Self-awareness is crucial for understanding the impact of pornography on behavior.Recovery involves unwiring, rewiring, and hardwiring healthy brain patterns.Resources for Dr. Trish Leigh:Website: https://drtrishleigh.comPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rc9WzKlUthuC0s3ADYqkwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtrishleigh/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTrishLeighBrainRewireFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtrishleigh/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Explicit-Matter-Neuroscience/dp/1400346991 RESOURCES:Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more Purpose Driven Leader:Free course!

Episode SummaryIn the final episode of the Mind War series on the Satisfied program, Ryan Swanson tackles a difficult but crucial topic: desire. Is the struggle in our thought life something we must simply manage forever, or does God offer more?

From the time we were little boys and young men, the topic of sex has always seemed to conjure up thoughts of embarrassment and shame. It's unfortunate (to say the least) considering that most men equate sex with the woman in their lives an integral part of the relationship and connection. My guest today, Alex Grendi, has made it his life's work to explore men's relationships with sex and how we can not only get more of it but make it more meaningful for ourselves and the women in our lives. We talk about porn's impact on sexual relationships, how to overcome childhood shame around the conversation of sex, how to solicit and ask for feedback in your performance in the bedroom (including how to ask for what you want), why nice guys never get what they want from intimacy, and the psychological and physiological issues men deal with when with their lady.
