In this episode, we will dive deep into the events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk — not just the headlines, but what believers can learn from his life, his faith, and his example.
Charlie Kirk wasn’t perfect (none of us are), but his clarity of purpose and devotion to Christ left a mark. From his candid admission of past struggles with pornography to his unwavering conviction that faith comes before politics, Charlie’s life points us toward something bigger: living every day with a North Star that glorifies God.
We'll walk through:
Why Charlie’s openness about past battles matters for men wrestling with sin
How purpose and calling give strength to overcome temptation
Why true faith always leads to righteous action, not passive religion
The descent, turning point, and ascent of Psalm 73 — and what it teaches us when evil seems to flourish
Why nearness to God is the only true cure for sin and despair
This is both a sober reflection and a rallying cry: don’t waste your life sitting on the sidelines. Draw near to God, take your eyes off the world, and live boldly for Christ.
Key Takeaways
Faith and Purpose Crush Sin: Freedom doesn’t come by willpower alone but through Christ and a clear sense of calling.
Psalm 73’s Lesson: The turning point comes when we stop comparing ourselves to others and fix our eyes on God.
Your Life Has to Count: We weren’t saved to coast into heaven on a “featherbed.” True faith produces works that glorify God.
Nearness to God Is the Cure: As Spurgeon said, “The greater our nearness to God, the less we are affected by the attractions and distractions of earth.”
Scripture Anchors
Matthew 28 — The Great Commission as our North Star
Psalm 73 — From envy and doubt to joy in God alone
James 2:17 — Faith without works is dead
Closing Challenge
Stop living defensively. Stop hiding. Lift your eyes to God, draw near, and live with eternity in mind.

Alexander's Fire: How Men Find Freedom Through Radical Sacrifice
In this week’s raw and honest episode, we’re going deep. Deeper than porn. Deeper than behavior. This is about the heart and the eternal battle between comfort and calling.
You’ll hear a powerful story about Alexander the Great and how his army’s success became their greatest hindrance. And how that same pattern plays out in the lives of Christian men today. Spoils become shackles. Comfort becomes compromise. And sin, both obvious and subtle, keeps us from the race we were meant to run.
But we’re not left without an example. Jesus, the greater King, burned every worldly treasure to obey the will of the Father—and then called us to follow Him. Not to simply “go,” but to follow.
You’ll discover:
Why the call to follow Jesus means radical surrender
How to throw off the “weighted vest” of comfort and sin
A practical challenge to fix your eyes on Christ...not other Christians, not your Instagram feed, not your bank account
And a live invite to join a free workshop on biblical meditation (inside the Man of Valor community)
This is not about white-knuckling your way out of pornography. It’s about magnifying Christ and living for something that will never fade.
Mentioned in this episode:
The Alexander the Great story and spiritual parallel
Hebrews 12:1–4 | Philippians 2 | 1 Peter 2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9
Quotes from Charles Spurgeon

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.”

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.

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:

You know someone drifting away from the faith and want to fight for them in prayer.
For the Christian man, pornography use is at an all-time high. The most recent statistics indicate that 51% of all Americans seek out porn. And even though 80% of pastors believe porn use is a massive issue in their church, only 7% say they have a way to help men who desire to live a life of purity.
This podcast is for brothers in Christ who are struggling with porn and want to walk in sexual purity. We will explore how the Gospel destroys sexual sin and how a Christian man can leave the shame and guilt of habitual porn use behind and enjoy fellowship with Christ and live a life of purpose.
This is a Natural Porn Killer podcast.
