In Part 2 of our conversation with entrepreneur and mentor Michael Rankin, we get intensely practical about freedom from addiction, sexual sin, and destructive patterns. Mike shares how real change happens: not by “trying harder,” but through honesty, healthy structure, and Christ-centered accountability in real community.

We talk about why isolation keeps men stuck, why shame is the real enemy, and why vulnerability is actually strength — “the most vulnerable guy in the room is the most powerful guy in the room.” Mike also explains how following the Holy Spirit, not just white-knuckling behavior, is the path to lasting freedom.

This episode digs into how to build safe community, why you need someone who’s already walked the road you’re on, how Scripture and brain science work together, and what it actually looks like to renew your mind and keep showing up — even when you feel weak.

If you’ve ever thought “maybe I’m just broken,” this one is for you. Freedom is possible. You’re not alone.
