The Importance of ”Whole Man” Recovery
Tuesday Jul 05, 2022
Tuesday Jul 05, 2022
Today’s guest is Matt Wenger, the clinical director of Boulder Recovery in Boulder, Colorado. Matt has a heart for helping men overcome all kinds of unwanted sexual behaviors by addressing the whole man, including trauma from his past.
In today’s episode, we talk about recovery as a means and environment for addressing all aspects of a man: his emotions, spirit, intellect, and body. True recovery is far more than just stopping negative behaviors; it is addressing the overall person to affect healthy personal growth and loving relationships.
Matt shares common elements that often lead a man toward sexually compulsive behaviors and how to heal and discover a thriving life of freedom and joy.

Sexually Stupid Comments by Men
Tuesday Jun 21, 2022
Tuesday Jun 21, 2022
In today’s episode, Stephen and I will unpack a number of sexually stupid comments by men. Here’s just a sampling of some of these comments:
- “I will keep it a secret. No one needs to know.”
- “No one will get hurt.”
- “My wife doesn’t desire me, but the other woman does!”
We will unpack some of the immature thinking underneath these statements and offer healthier, more mature ways to think. Our hope is that this episode will help you examine your own thinking regarding your sexual brokenness and take a bold next step toward greater insight and better relationships.

Understanding 4 Key Roles in Your Story
Tuesday Jun 14, 2022
Tuesday Jun 14, 2022
In today’s episode, Stephen and I draw from Donald Miller’s book, Hero on a Mission, to help you better understand your own story and take your next best step to embark on a mission of growth and adventure.
Every great story has four roles in it:
1. Victim
2. Villian
3. Hero
4. Guide
As we learn together about these roles, we can see how our own stories weave in different ways into each of these roles. And, with help, we can learn and grow from such perspective and analysis.
So, go on a journey with us today to better understand your story and how you can be a hero on a mission and a guide for others in their story.
To get a copy of Donald Miller’s book, go to Amazon.com or anywhere books are sold.

Tuesday May 17, 2022
Tuesday May 17, 2022
In today’s episode, Stephen and I share multiple comments from men who are on the journey to pursue greater integrity. Some of these comments are:
- “I know what’s wrong with me – it’s me!”
- “I’m 75 years old and no one wants to go to lunch with me.”
- “All my life I’ve hidden behind God and spiritual truths, but I’m not emotionally mature.”
- “There is pain in recovery. It feels like hope and it sucks at the same time.”
- “Why do I have to change? I don’t want to.”
- “Growing up, no one was there for me. So now, how can I show up for anyone?”
Our hope in sharing these comments and the insights behind them is to help men better understand their own integrity journey and hopefully get some ideas for how to take their best next step. If you would like resources that help men grow in purity and faith, visit Men.Bebroken.com.
