Take These Steps for Victory Over Your Sin

Here's the truth:
“You don’t need another strategy. You need surrender.”

But this isn’t a sin-management strategy.This is about warfare. Worship. Total surrender.

Consumed by Glory: Bold Prayers God Answers

In this soul-stirring episode of Porn and the Gospel, Spencer dives deep into one of the boldest prayers ever recorded in Scripture—the moment Moses stood between God and a rebellious people and said, “Blot me out of your book.”
What gives a man such courage? What kind of intimacy with God allows you to pray not just for yourself—but with fire and urgency for others?
You’ll discover:
Why your freedom from sin is about God’s glory, not just your relief.
The missing link in most men’s prayer lives—and how to restore it.
Why habitual sin kills your concern for others—and how intercessory prayer breaks that cycle.
What Paul and Moses shared in common when they prayed.
A powerful, practical prayer from Ephesians 3 you can start praying today—for your wife, your brother, or even someone far from God.
Spencer brings Scripture, vulnerability, and a call to arms for every man who wants to go deeper in his walk with God and learn how to intercede with boldness.
Key Scriptures:
Exodus 32:30–32, 33:13–18
Ephesians 3:14–21
Galatians 6:1–2
Ask Yourself:
Who are you praying for with boldness?
Is God’s glory your deepest motivation—or are you just asking for relief?
What would happen in your life if you began praying like Moses and Paul?
Share This Episode If:
You’re tired of surface-level prayers.
You’re ready to be used by God to bring restoration and revival.
You know someone drifting away from the faith and want to fight for them in prayer.

You're asking God to help, but here's why nothing changes

In this episode, we'll discusses the struggles many men face in breaking free from destructive habits like pornography and masturbation. Based on scripture, we'll outline three key conditions for achieving spiritual fulfillment and joy: recognizing one's deep thirst and desires, believing in the truth and promises of the word of God, and asking the Holy Spirit to dwell in one's life. 

When Your Heart Wanders: How to Spot the Drift and Fight Back

In this raw and timely episode, Spencer speaks straight to the soul of every man walking the path toward purity. He shares how sexual sin doesn’t start in the bedroom, but in the heart. Drawing from Proverbs 4:23, he explains why guarding your heart is not optional—it’s spiritual life support.
You’ll hear the story of a brother facing deep relational brokenness because of compromise. You’ll hear how the slow drift into isolation and secrecy is Satan’s favorite trap. But most of all, you’ll be reminded of God’s promises, the power of confession, and the battle plan every man needs.
This episode is loaded with real talk, biblical truth, and powerful encouragement to:
Fight before the fall, not just after
Replace entitlement with worship
Trade secrecy for accountability
Pursue Christ as your true satisfaction
Spurgeon said, “If you want pure power in prayer, you must have purity in life.” You’re not just after freedom from porn, you’re after power for God’s purpose.
Key Verse: Proverbs 4:23 – "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."

Is Willpower Enough?

In this episode of 'Porn and the Gospel,' we look at John 15:9-10 and explore how the principles of Robert Sternberg's Triangulation of Love theory can illuminate a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God. I want to challenge you to evaluate your own relationships with God. Is willpower enough? Or does it require something more? Does it require deep emotional intimacy and passionate desire? This episode encourages reflection on how best to cultivate a rich, holistic love for God to combat temptations and grow in faith.

How to Have Power and Purity Every Day

The Morning Hours - Prayer, Power, and Purity
Psalm 5:3 ~ O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
Let me begin this by saying, I understand that some men believe that they work and think and get energy mostly in the evening. And in doing so, they don’t give much thought to how they spend their mornings. If this is you, I want to challenge your assumptions. I want you to consider that prayer and preparation in the morning is far more valuable than evening productivity.
The man who is at war with lust must not sleep in. This war starts before your feet hit the floor. David says, “O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice.” And Spurgeon said it like this: “Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.”
Because your enemy doesn’t sleep, rest, or care about your excuses, it is imperative that we wake early and begin with careful and precise prayers to our Lord and God.

The Type of Man You Can Be

In this episode, we'll explore the three characteristics of a man who experiences the presence of God. We'll be diving into Psalms 15:1-2 for much needed encouragement because, as men of God, there should be nothing more we desire than to live with integrity before the Lord in our daily lives.

Wake Up Before It's Too Late

In this episode, Spencer shares a deeply personal story about the recent tragic death of his brother-in-law, Mark Meadows, a police officer and Army veteran.
Sutton reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing relationships over material pursuits. He emphasizes the urgent need for men, especially in the church, to engage in spiritual warfare against the schemes of the devil, particularly in the battle against pornography and sexual sin.
Drawing from Ephesians 6, Spencer calls for a renewed commitment to God, urging listeners to arm themselves with faith, prayer, and the Word of God. He concludes with a powerful message on finding joy in salvation through Christ as the ultimate remedy for overcoming sin.
