Support doesn’t just help people stop a behavior; it helps them rebuild a life.

Recently, Barna conducted research in partnership with Pure Desire Ministries. They compared the well-being of p**n users with the support of someone helping them avoid p**nography vs. p**n users without the support of someone helping them avoid p**nography.

Those who receive support report higher rates of feeling:
• My life has purpose
• Someone believes in me
• I am deeply cared for
• I feel prepared for everyday life

This is what healing can look like.

Most men don’t talk about it.

The patterns they can’t seem to break.
The thoughts they don’t feel proud of.
The habits that start to feel bigger than they are.

It’s exhausting to carry that alone.

The Healing for Men Workshop is a place to step out of isolation and into something different - honest conversation, real support, and a path forward.

Spots can fill quickly.

Mike recently joined Nate Larkin as a guest on the Pirate Monk Podcast, a ministry of the Samson Society, to discuss why high sensing people (HSPs) are often drawn into p**n addiction.

💡It’s estimated that over 20% of the world population has a high sensing temperament.

He shares the acrostic DOES(S) to define HSP and help people how to support themselves and others.

“I loved the feeling that we were in a safe place through the whole experience. The leaders made sure we were valued.” 💙

At our Healing for Men Workshop, safety isn’t just a word, it’s the foundation.

We know how hard it can be to step into a room and share your story. That’s why we create a space where men are respected, supported, and challenged toward real growth without shame.

If you’re ready to experience a place where you are valued and not alone, we invite you to join us.

Your healing starts with one courageous step. 💙
