815 - Mike Novotny on Confessing Taboo Topics To Find Lasting Freedom

Today Sathiya sits down with Pastor Mike Novotny to discuss his work bringing light to taboo subjects, including pornography addiction, and how Mike was freed from his own addiction. It seems like so many Christians have a hard time talking about subjects that are uncomfortable or make us squirm a little, and sadly that's actually one of the reasons why believers still struggle with things like porn addiction...because we don't confess to one another (regularly!). This is a convicting and very practical episode...make sure to pick up Pastor Mike's newest book Taboo (link below)! Pastor Mike Novotny has served God’s people in full-time ministry since 2007 in Madison and, most recently, at The CORE in Appleton, Wisconsin. He also serves as the lead speaker for Time of Grace, where he shares the good news about Jesus through television, print, and online platforms.
