Freedom, chastity, and healing with Jason Evert

What if chastity is not a restriction but the freedom to love well

In this episode of Be Your Brand to Glorify God, Erik sits down with Jason Evert, speaker, author, and founder at Chastity.com, to face the modern prn crisis with courage and clarity. Jason shares how Karol Wojtyla’s "Love and Responsibility" reframes chastity as the freedom to love, why an interior life of prayer outworks a thousand tasks, and how simple daily rhythms protect marriage and mission.

They talk about the epidemic of prn for men and women, why the opposite of addiction is connection, and the hard-hitting line that a father’s prn can act like a spiritual vasectomy. You will also hear the adult club doorstep encounter and the seven-hour line of students who just wanted someone to truly listen. This one gives hope, language, and first steps for anyone ready to begin.

What happens when a former military bomb dog handler turns his attention to raising a family, building businesses, and keeping faith at the center of it all?

In this episode, Erik sits down with Adam La Barr — husband, father of three, entrepreneur, and host of the BizDad Podcast. From chasing bombs in Afghanistan to chasing business deals in America, Adam shares how his faith journey shaped his approach to intentional fatherhood and business ownership.

They unpack how to raise kids in a world filled with noise without sheltering them, the lessons Adam learned from missed birthdays while serving in the military, and why he’s passionate about buying businesses that create freedom instead of consuming family life.

Adam also reveals his process for evaluating deals, how real estate led him to small business acquisitions, and why aligning with Christian partners matters in the long run.

This one’s a must-listen for fathers, faith-driven entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of sacrificing family on the altar of success.
