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.

The Alexander the Great story and spiritual parallel
Hebrews 12:1–4 | Philippians 2 | 1 Peter 2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9

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.

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."

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.
