If you really want to kill your demons for good, you need to starve them to death. 

In this episode, we go to war with the flesh, expose the top enemies men keep feeding, and give you a battle plan to shut it down for good. If you're tired of falling into the same pit, it’s time to cut the supply lines and watch the beast die. No more excuses and absolutely no more mercy for what’s destroying you.

"Every time you feed your flesh, you're fueling your failure."

Most men are losing because they keep feeding the thing that’s killing them. You don’t need more self-help—you need a starvation strategy.
This isn’t about behavior management. It’s about execution.

STARVATION STRATEGIES: (What to starve/what to feed.)

1. LUST

  • Starve: Late-night screen time, seductive content, isolation.
  • Feed: Accountability, physical exertion, fix your eyes on purpose.

2. LAZINESS

  • Starve: Snooze button, passive media, excuses.
  • Feed: Morning routine, time blocks, physical motion.

3. PRIDE

  • Starve: Self-glorification, the need to win, resistance to correction.
  • Feed: Repentance, feedback, silent service.

4. BITTERNESS

  • Starve: Replays of offense, bitter circles, unprocessed emotion.
  • Feed: Fast forgiveness, God-first processing, serve over sulk.

5.COMFORT

  • Starve: Easy options, auto-pilot, feelings-based decisions.
  • Feed: Daily difficulty, mission-based routine, hard right choices.

6. COMPROMISE

  • Starve: "Just this once," soft boundaries, low standards.
  • Feed: Clear non-negotiables, strong brotherhood, God-rooted identity.

7. FEAR OF MAN

  • Starve: People-pleasing, approval addiction, silence.
  • Feed: Fear of God, bold obedience, conviction in small things.

"Starvation is your strategy. Obedience is your oxygen."  - Rory Lawrence

SOTD: Romans 13:14 (ESV) “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”
