Why He Checks Every Box But Still Feels Empty

He’s built the same wall between himself and God that he’s built between himself and you.

He goes to church. He prays. He reads the right books. He checks every box. And nothing changes. Not because he’s faking it. Because none of it has actually become his.

In this video I explain why men in recovery treat God like another item on a to-do list, what an “inherited faith” costs him, and what real spiritual change actually looks like when it starts to happen (it’s not what you’d expect).
