If you add up all the time I spend driving, walking, and hamstering around on a treadmill each week, you would see that I spend a ton of time listening to stuff on my phone. I could be using this time to listen to the latest Bieber album, but I prefer to use it in a more productive way. By listening to podcasts and sermons, I’m able to use these times to strengthen my understanding of the Scriptures and deepen my knowledge of recovery topics.
The following list of podcasts was copied straight from my own phone. I subscribe to every one of these and wholeheartedly recommend all of them. I trust that they will encourage you in your path to recovery as much as they have encouraged me.
1. Pirate Monk Radio
Each week, Nate Larkin and the guys interview guests, hold on-air recovery meetings, and share their lives openly and honestly with one another. It’s a great example of what a community of trusted brothers sounds like.
2. Undone Redone
Tray and Mel are a couple that know a thing or two about messy and who are thrilled that their divorce did not work out! They talk about the messiness of life…addiction and infidelity…grace and reconciliation…marriage and family…authenticity and faith.
3. Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction
Licensed therapist, Sam Tielemans, shares powerful tools to help couples fix their relationship after the impact of pornography addiction. His unique and new approach can help you to rebuild trust and develop a stronger connection in your marriage and leave the past behind you without rehashing it anymore.

Host Russ Shaw gives you 21st century strategies fused with spiritual truth to help you find deliverance and victory.

Matt shares stories, inspiration, and encouragement from his own life, as well as skills and tools to help you become 100% pornfree. Whether your goal is improving your marriage, your business, or just making you a better dad, getting rid of the porn will free you to make it happen.
6. TrueFaced
John Lynch, Bill Thrall, and Bruce McNichol discuss the Biblical concepts taught by TrueFaced Ministries. Each week they tackle a new topic such as “What truly motivates our sin” and “Trusting God more is the only way we will ever sin less.”
7. Ransomed Heart Ministries
John Eldridge and Craig McConnell talk about the issues that effect men’s hearts in an unrehearsed, uninhibited, and unscripted manner.
8. Become Good Soil
Morgan Snyder has one of the most authentic approaches to Biblical Masculinity I’ve heard. This podcast is a combination of interviews with wise older men, conversations among peers, teaching and more; all aimed at providing nourishment for men choosing to Becoming Good Soil.
9. Voxology Podcast
Voxology is a collection of voices that question and discuss our culture’s most relevant topics in relation to Christ and Christianity. If you have serious questions about the church’s representation of Jesus, what he has done and the beauty of his work on earth today, join hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford and their guests to talk things out and find your way back to the true mission of Jesus.
10. Van City Church
Van City has some of the best teaching on the Bible, Christianity, and what it means to live your life as an apprentice of Jesus.
What about ASI!? To rough around the edges? Russ is a Christian guy who goes to mars hill in Seattle, has been a guest on the Pirate Monk podcast and has a solid perspective as an addict saved by grace. One of the most eye opening shows on the topic iv’e heard, Belongs in the top ten.
I have just subscribed and will give it a listen. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey, thanks for the heads-up on the ASI podcast. After just three episodes I’ve decided to put it all the way up at #2.
Hey Stephen, check out the Pornfree Radio podcast. I started it a few months after you posted your list. It’s a great resource for people who want to live 100% porn free.
