Description

Are you tired of battling addiction and wondering if there’s a way to find real strength, purpose, and freedom?


Welcome to Sacred Grit, a podcast equipping men to conquer addiction and overcome inner struggles through physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines, so you can become a man of honor and integrity. If you’re a man struggling with addiction and the isolation, broken relationships and shame it brings to your life—this show is for you


Over the last three years, I’ve watched countless men discover healing and connection through these same practices.


Listen in to learn:

  • How to reframe addiction and pride into strength and freedom.
  • Spiritual insights to help you find your way back to resilience when facing addiction.
  • Practical tools like cold water immersion and breathwork; made simple even if you've never practiced before.


Every Sunday I unpack spiritual healing, and every Wednesday I deliver practical tools for men. Start your journey today with the fan-favorite episode, “What is Sacred Grit,” from July 2, 2025.
