Freedom coach Nick Redd, co-founder of The Freedom Group, joins guest host Sam Halligan to share his powerful conversion and how he now helps men break free from addiction and step into authentic masculinity. Nick explains why so many men stay stuck in cycles of shame and how a Christ-centered, neuroscience-based approach to craving and redemptive suffering leads to lasting freedom. He shares how living free transforms a man's presence with his wife, his children, his God, and himself, just in time for a Fourth of July reflection on what real freedom means.
Meet Nick Redd
Nick is a co-founder and freedom coach with The Freedom Group, living in Kansas City with his wife, Theresa, and their growing family. After 15 years in full-time ministry, he launched The Freedom Group three years ago.
His Story
Raised in a strong faith background, Nick knew the rules but stayed trapped in a cycle of confession and relapse that grew into addiction. In 2009 he hit rock bottom and met Christ in a life-changing conversion — a healing that now fuels his mission to walk alongside other men.
The Mission
The Freedom Group helps men get free from pornography, lust, and other addictions and reclaim their God-given identity. Nick is convicted that families, culture, and society rise and fall on whether men will "get in the arena" of their own lives, and the group is now partnering with dioceses and seminaries to expand that work.
The Approach
Nick reframes addiction as a learned "solution" to pain rather than a simple moral failing. The Freedom Group's year-long, multi-phase curriculum is built on the neuroscience of redemptive suffering — learning to feel and suffer well, reframe cravings, and practice presence — so a man can show up fully for his spouse, his kids, his God, and himself. He also points listeners to Gerald May's book Addiction and Grace.
