If you've ever felt like your porn addiction makes no sense—like you're a good man, doing your best, yet you keep falling into the same cycle—this episode will hit home.In today's conversation, I sit down with Chandler Rogers, founder of the Relay app, to unpack why it's not actually pleasure that keeps you stuck in the addiction cycle… it's pain. Specifically, it's the pain you haven't been taught how to face.We talk about the hidden wounds driving sexual compulsion, the parts of you that feel pressure to be perfect, and the scared young boy inside that's just trying to be okay. Chandler opens up about his own story of struggling with pornography in secret, even while appearing “put together” on the outside—a story many of us will deeply relate to.We also explore why white-knuckling and over-managing your behavior isn't real recovery… and how true healing begins when you stop avoiding pain and start listening to it.This episode covers powerful themes around:How to quit porn by healing emotional pain, not just controlling behaviorWhy self-awareness and self-compassion are critical for lasting porn recoveryThe role of vulnerability and group support in overcoming porn addictionHow the fear of rejection drives compulsive sexual behaviorWhy many Christian men feel shame around their sexuality—and how to heal itHow Internal Family Systems (IFS therapy) helps us lead our parts rather than be controlled by themWhat it means to build emotional safety, sexual integrity, and spiritual growth as a manWe also talk about how to navigate marriage when one partner is healing from betrayal trauma, and the other is trying to maintain sexual sobriety.

This week on The Zac Clark Show, we sit down with Scott Strode — founder of The Phoenix, a free national sober active community that's approaching one million members and nearly 90,000 events strong. But behind those staggering numbers is a deeply personal story.Scott opens up about the childhood trauma that led him to substance use at age 11, the fractured worlds he navigated between his father's instability and his mother's high-powered career, and the early moments of sobriety that ultimately changed his life — not in a treatment center, but in a boxing gym.What started as one man waiting outside the gym looking for a way to stay sober has become one of the most impactful movements in recovery today. Through rock climbing, cycling, CrossFit, yoga, art, and even sober music festivals, The Phoenix offers people 48 hours sober a place to show up, be seen, and belong — no shame, no cost, no strings attached.Scott shares why inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of The Phoenix's ethos, how volunteering became the rocket fuel behind its growth, and why healing doesn't have to look like sitting in a circle — sometimes it looks like 150 kettlebell swings and a high five.We also explore:Generational trauma and how to break the cycleThe launch of The Phoenix's free New Form app and its vision to redefine digital recoveryThe nonprofit's challenges with funding innovation in behavioral healthAnd Scott's new book, Rise, Recover, Thrive: How I Got Strong, Got Sober, and Built a Movement of Hope — a raw and inspiring look at the personal journey that sparked a national revolution in recoveryThe word “community” has become a cultural buzzword — but at its core, it reflects the shared connection humans deeply need and seek. What truly defines community, and why does it matter so much — especially in recovery? Scott Strode has spent his life answering that question, building a movement rooted in belonging, empathy, and hope.
