🎙️ Episode Title: How To Break Bad Habits

Episode Summary:

Let’s be real — we’ve all got habits we’re not proud of. Maybe it’s yelling at other drivers, scrolling your phone instead of being present with your family, or turning to old vices when you’re stressed. Whatever it is, today we’re talking about how to finally break those bad habits for good — not by white-knuckling it, but by using a proven framework that actually works and by letting God transform the way we think and live.

In this episode, Nate walks through James Clear’s Four Strategies from Atomic Habits and applies them through a biblical lens — helping you make your bad habits invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying. You’ll leave with a clear plan and practical tools to help you become the man God made you to be.

Key Takeaways:

Why Christian men aren’t exempt from bad habits — and why the enemy targets you specifically.

The real reason willpower alone doesn’t work.

How to use the “Four Laws of Breaking Bad Habits” to finally get traction:

1. Make it Invisible – Remove exposure to temptation.
2. Make it Unattractive – Change how you view the habit.
3. Make it Difficult – Add friction to doing the wrong thing.
4. Make it Unsatisfying – Create accountability and negative consequences.

How to apply these four strategies to common struggles like procrastination, overeating, gossip, and pornography.

A spiritual reminder that real transformation happens when you surrender your habits to God, not just grit your teeth and try harder.

Scripture Tie-In:

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Breaking bad habits isn’t just self-improvement — it’s spiritual renewal. God gives you the power to change when you align your behaviors with your beliefs.

Reflection Challenge:

Pick one bad habit you want to break this week.
Write it down, and ask yourself these four questions:

How can I make this habit invisible?

How can I make it unattractive?

How can I make it difficult?

How can I make it unsatisfying?

Then pray over it and invite God to renew your mind in that area.
