Even under the lowest levels of depravity, and the guilt and shame associated with it, redemption can be achieved through the grace of Christ.   When the FBI and Vice Police showed up at his door to question him about his connection to a local child pornographer, Michael Chestnut feared his life was over.   Though he was not guilty of any crime, the enticing alure of an adult chat room led him to cross many lines which cost his marriage, his relationship with his daughter, his job, and his self-respect.  After struggling through years of repressing a traumatic molestation, his secret life and exposure to same sex pornography was brought to light in a devasting way.   Though he carried his guilt for years, a near death experience and the help of a friend and Christian counselor helped him make restitution.  Now, as the author of the book Secret Emails, Lies, Divorce and a Journey to Restoration he tells his story to help men facing adversity overcome their trials. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-invictus-mind/support

Addiction of any kind can be devastating to one's self-esteem, happiness, and well-being. Sadly, however, many addictions are more socially acceptable than others. Pornography is especially pernicious because it's effects cause damage to children and adults alike.  Unlike other vices, pornography is to the user more affordable, more accessible, and more anonymous. Many under its submission are ashamed, embarrassed, and uneasy about seeking the help they need to emancipate themselves of the burden they carry.   In this episode Mike speaks with a mental health nurse practitioner, Isaiah Cruz, about the various recovery programs available to those seeking treatment. While there is a myriad of counseling services, including faith-based programs, 12-step recovery models, and accountability exercises, psychiatry has shown that these methods show only a 4% success rate and medication assisted treatment show a 50% success rate within 1-2 years.    Though the use of SSRIs is controversial and prompts many questions, sometimes addiction recovery must be addressed immediately when no other alternative methods are working.

The post-Christian world seems to have forgotten or will not recognize the mystical aspects of Christianity. Religious arguments over the doctrines of grace and works stem from a misunderstanding of the importance of ordinances performed and the power they have within a given faith.   As the Western world seems to be falling into nihilism and meaninglessness, many influencers are flocking towards Eastern religions that claim an unbroken 2000-year tradition to find truth.  Questions about the enlightenment, materialism, and the nature of government infiltrating religion itself address the issue as to where the modern-day Woke movement came from.     Mike and his brother Jason discuss their religion, Mormonism, as a restoration of lost truths and how the culture of the church differs from the doctrines taught by its founder. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-invictus-mind/support

Unlike most cultures, the United States offers no rite of passage for boys into manhood.   Adolescence is a 20th century invention that has softened men, who have lost their true identity as leaders and protectors.  Without guidance, the youth are left to redefine liberty as having the ability to do whatever they want and enslaving themselves to their own desires.   Wes Carey, Founder of the King's Guard Ministry discusses the brotherhood he built while serving in the US Army as a green beret. Through the teachings of the Gospel of Christ, he helps men discover their own potential, understand true discipleship, and retake masculinity.
