Mike Hatch, the host of the Throwing Mountains (formerly Empowered Manhood) Podcast, shares his fence post story about how God redeemed him, and his marriage, from pornography.

Mike’s life was defined by fear and insecurity, which eventually led him to seek an escape from the pressures to perform. God graciously exposed Mike’s sin through a painful experience, and through this experience God taught Mike that he would find true freedom and the power to change only by “walking in the light.”

God provided Mike with safe places — first a CLC group and then other places at his church — to be vulnerable and honest about his sin. This led to the healing he so desperately needed and the transcendent purpose he was searching for.

Mike’s story now is captured in his book Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the Gospel.
