Earlier this year I had today’s guest, Matt Wenger, Clinical Director of Boulder Recovery, on the program and we touched on the four elements of Whole Man Recovery: Intellectual, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual. I thought it was so good that we should dedicate four separate podcasts to break down and dig deeper into these four elements.
Today is Part 1 in the series and we will explore the Intellectual element of Whole Man Recovery.
In each part of this series we will attempt to answer the following questions:
- What is the element?
- What effect does it have: On addiction, On relationships, On identity
- How does recovery address this element?
- What might health and wholeness look like for this element in one’s life?

What is the connection between theology and sexuality? And why does this matter?
My guest today is Jonathan McLatchie. He is a biologist by training, but also a Christian apologist and founder of TalkAboutDoubts.com, a website that allows anyone to ask questions about the Christian faith and receive answers from Christian experts in various fields of study.
In our conversation, Jonathan defines theology and then helps us unpack the gospel metaphor that is portrayed in God’s design for sex. We also talk about how a biblical understanding of sex directly impacts our specific sexual sin struggles.

Every day we are inviting men to embark on a journey of personal growth, especially in the area of emotional growth. This is an essential part of breaking free from unhealthy, unwanted sexual behaviors and pursuing a life of integrity and joy.
On today’s program, Stephen brings lots of statements from men who are stunted on their journey of emotional growth, such as, “I have a good life and I’m stable. Just leave everything alone. Why do I have to keep growing?”
We then offer insights and practical ideas for getting “unstuck” and going deeper to grow in emotional maturity.
For specific help on going deeper emotionally, we encourage you to download our free resource, 40 Days of Training for Your Soul, at Bebroken.org/store.

Every day we are helping wives who are experiencing the devastating effects of sexual brokenness and sin. It is always a mess and it is always traumatic.
On today’s program, we have two guests who will help us understand these effects and how a wife can heal. They are Cat Etherington and Cindy Bajema from Naked Truth Project.
Key issues we cover in this episode are where to start the healing process, defining trauma, stages of healing, something called “the window of tolerance,” why addressing the whole person is crucial to healing, and what to do if the offending partner doesn’t seek help.

In today’s episode, we unpack a list of 15 rules that emotionally detached men tend to live by, and why it’s important to know this. Here is a sampling of just the first 8 rules:
- I don’t know me, so I can’t know you.
- I don’t go to deep places, so you shouldn’t go there either.
- Emotions scare me, so I won’t go there even if you ask.
- Fear hinders me; I don’t have a healthy outlet for expressing fear.
- I get defensive and detach in order to make you stop talking or pursuing me.
- The emotional chaos of a woman is overwhelming; I would get lost in there.
- My wife has needs I can’t me, so I won’t try.
- When I don’t know what to do, I’ll just try to fix something.
Dive in with us on this journey to grow and mature emotionally as men so that we can have deep, thriving relationships.
