On this episode: Aaron, Nate, Justin, and Alec all hang out. This week, Nate, Aaron, Justin, and Alec interview Nate Larkin, wait, what?!?. Nate Larkin is the host of the Pirate Monk Podcast, yes this very one! He is also an author, speaker, Silas, former pastor, and writes engineering papers and some other stuff. Nate shares more of his story and thoughts on relapse, from experience. They discuss how and why relapse happens, even the speed. Clues to a possible relapse include, but are not limited to: letting safeguards down, justification, lack of rest, ignoring feelings, not asking for help. The discussion also includes: how long to support another in recovery, and steps to heal, grow, and continue down the path.Books: Samson and the Pirate Monks: Calling Men to Authentic Brotherhood, by Nate Larkin Nov 7-9, 2025 Santa Fe, NM Samson Summit Nov 7-9, 2025 The Wild & Sacred Journey, Womens Retreat If you have thoughts or questions and you’d like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to
