My show is aimed primarily but not exclusively at men. It is a nonprofit categorized as Christian Education with a focus on the numerous aspects of spiritual warfare that men face daily. My tagline in the show's intro is:

"Because the first fight we face each and every day is the fight between our selfish sinful nature and our Holy Spirit inspired divine nature."

The show's goal is to inspire and help other men win in spiritual warfare.

We believe the winners in this ring courageously follow God's word, love and protect God's women, excel at God's work, and betters God's world with his children.

It is an interview format show where each guest discusses some specific wrestling match they are dealing with or have successfully dealt with through surrender to Christ.

Over 125 shows are up in the library on a very wide array of topics including isolation, feeling worthless, the seven deadly sins, and courtship leading to marriage.

Our institutions of higher education have been co-opted by a liberal ideology for decades now that have wedged out belief in God as somehow being naïve and unacceptable to highly scientific minds. I have had several guests on this show with Ivy league educations that told me if anyone in those advanced degree programs did believe in God it was very well hidden.

My guest today is Douglas Ell, author of “Counting to God: A Personal Journey Through Science to Belief.” Doug was born into a religious home but by the time he started college, had drifted away from his religious upbringing which he viewed as outdated superstition. His non-religious beliefs were reaffirmed during his tenure as an undergraduate at MIT, where he came to embrace scientism – the view that scientific investigation is the only means of discovering real truth. Sometime later, however Doug was introduced to the scientific theory of intelligent design, and everything began to change.

Listen to the story of his wrestling match and how he was able to reconcile belief in God with his scientific background through his extensive research into intelligent design.

He just completed a series of book for children and young adults called Godproofs which can be found at his website www.godproofs.com where he explains how science points to God's certainty.

I'm posting this episode on Good Friday ahead of Easter Sunday for 2026.

This is the high Holy season of the Christian faith and for most of us, it is our fear and uncertainty of what happens to us when we die that we wrestle most with in deciding to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

It all comes down to belief in the fact that Jesus died on the cross for all of us to atone for our sins and then was resurrected from death to live forever.

A recent popular book and movie by the same name, “Heaven is for Real” truly piques our curiosity because it describes an afterlife experience.

My guest for this show is John Levay. John has an incredible story of his own about being killed by his father as a nine year old boy and having a very vivd afterlife experience where he met his grandfather in heaven who took him to meet Jesus but was then resuscitated back to life by his father after experiencing deep remorse!

John tells his story and how almost 44 years later his memory of the event returned to him in great detail after being repressed all that time. He also relates a second vision of Christ after a desperate prayer during a church communion service.

He then shares about wrestling with what God wanted Him to do with the revelations he received which were very specific about letting others know about the Seven Spirits saw. These Seven Spirits are mentioned in the Bible and comprise specific elements of the Holy Spirit.

This is truly a goosebump producing episode which should help confirm your belief in heaven but also create a desire to learn more about the Seven Spirits and their purpose.

There are many stories in the bible of reluctant people who resist their assignment like Moses and Jonah for example. And many of us today still struggle with our own assignment, but God always seems to have His way with us in the end doesn’t He?

My guest today is Dr. James Torkildson, a Clinical Psychologist and seasoned Behavioral Health Professional with a cultural voice that is rooted in Scripture with decades of clinical and spiritual leadership. Dr. Torkildson (known by many as “Dr. T”) has a career that spans over 40 years serving in behavioral health and faith-based organizations. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a doctoral degree in Educational Psychology & Counseling.

In this episode we discuss his reluctance to accept His assignment from God, to write a book and become a stronger voice for Christian values in a profession where taking strong positions on faith is frowned upon.

Upon retirement he received a more urgent "wake up call" on his birthday in the early morning hours and immediately sat down to begin writing his book titled "Awaken: Exposing The Web of Deception Threatening Our Faith, Family and Freedom."

Today his obedience is being rewarded with the joy one only finds when walking in the true purpose God has given him.

Servant leadership is a popular term today to talk about, and Christ himself demonstrated it by washing the disciples’ feet. As Christians we should be using our spiritual gifts in volunteer service to advance His kingdom here on earth.

But have you ever heard of Newton's first law of motion, or the law of inertia? It states that an object at rest remains at rest. And the longer an organization has been around the more it resists change.

In this show we will be examining the Catholic Church as an example, rich in tradition and ritual which anchors many to people to their faith in an ever-changing world. As an institution it relies heavily on volunteers who work for free and we are often reminded as volunteers to submit to authority.

My guest today is Dr. Kevin Cummings, a retired dentist after 40 years in private practice and from 1988 until 2012, he was the team dentist for the Kansas City Chiefs. Today he is a Catholic Church Deacon in the Kansas City area leading a new Order he helped establish called Deacons of Hope which Provides dignified housing and support for moms in need.

He wrestled with institutional inertia for several years before finally succeeding in creating a new Order in the Catholic Church which helps unwed and homeless mothers have an alternative to Planned Parenthood.

The Holy Spirit nudges us all, sometimes for decades until we at last act on the purpose he has given us and helps us achieve God's will through His power through us!

A very encouraging episode!

My guest in this episode is Bruce Wawrzyniak. Bruce has had a lengthy career in sports including ten years working for a National Hockey League team, three years as VP/Public Relations at the League office for the National Lacrosse League and then worked for ten-and-a-half years in the Olympic Movement.

Today, Bruce is a Publicist / PR Professional, Podcaster, Author, Speaker, Blogger and specializes in Sports & Entertainment with a radio show called Catholic Sports Radio and a podcast called Now Hear This Entertainment.

Our wrestling match topic is the pursuit of a "winning edge" in Olympic sports. It often creates immense pressure to seek advantages that go beyond training and natural talent, sometimes leading athletes and teams to cross the line from legal innovation into unethical, or illegal, practices. In the high-stakes environment of the Olympics, where centuries of effort can be decided by a fraction of a second, the temptation to gain an edge is constant.

This temptation manifests in several ways:

• Doping and Chemical Enhancement: Athletes may be tempted by performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to improve strength, stamina, or recovery, despite strict testing by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
• Technological and Equipment Manipulation: Teams often push the boundaries of regulations with "sartorial" or equipment changes. Examples include modifying Judo gis to be stiffer or shorter, using baby oil to evade measurements, or developing advanced, low-drag swimsuits.
• "Gamesmanship" and Mental Tactics: Athletes may use psychological tactics, such as breaking an opponent's rhythm, faking injury, or creating artificial delays to alter momentum.
• Bending the Rules: In some cases, athletes look for gray areas in the rulebook, attempting to "bend" rules without technically "breaking" them to get an advantage.

Bruce and I discuss these challenges for not only the individual athlete but the team and even the nation they represent in some of the more famous examples where ESPN has even dedicated a 30 of 30 episode to them.

We cover Ben Johnson the sprinter from Canada in 1988, Marion Jones the U.S. track athlete who lost five Olympic medals for steroid use in 2010, and even the Spanish national basketball team in the 2000 Sydney Paralympics.

We also discuss NFL issues like "deflategate" with Tom Brady and the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal.

It’s early February and we are right smack in the middle of Championship Football Season! College is decided and its Seattle vs New England in the upcoming Super Bowl

Congrats to Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers on their undefeated season of 16-0 and the school’s first football national championship. The game had some print dedicated afterwards to the officiating and no calls on some seemingly cheap shots on IU QB Fernando Mendoza.

We don’t ever think much about the “officials” in our lives do we?

They make sure the rules are followed and strictly enforced and their best day is when we never notice them.

Have you ever thought about what is required to become a major college or NFL official?

Certainly, all of us have seen multitudes of sideline shots with a head coach mouthing foul words and stalking the poor official whose job it is to be the side judge and stand right in front of each team’s bench the entire game.

You know what it takes???

Galatians 5:22 calls it fruit of the spirit – and self-control is in extremely short supply these days!

Today my guest is a man with a tremendous resume of officiating experience from Texas High School through Division 1 College, NFL, and even a booth replay official. There’s nothing like hearing some stories from a guy who was on the field with the players and in the booth with the announcers so strap in for a great ride.

Tommy Moore welcome to Wrestling with the Inner Man!

Wrestlers, I don't often do solo episodes but sometimes I have more that I want to express as my personal view and this episode is one of those times.

The stock market darling for all of 2025 was Nvidia and all things related to AI holdings. For the first two weeks of this year I have consumed content related to AI that stirred my inner man and made me more aware of the wrestling match I am experiencing over it.

This episode connects the dots through each of these stories:

· ChatGPT commercials aimed at young men

· Physical AI in large machines or mining of our health records

· Peggy Noonan’s theory on America losing its melody

· Russian disinformation and denial to sew division within the U.S.

· AI bias skewing outcomes and creating environmental harm

The question put to all of us is: "Are we fully examining the potential unintended consequences of rushing headlong into the AI world?"

It seems like it's becoming our new idol and at the end of this episode I cover two stories from history as cautionary tales.

No matter what your opinion is about AI this episode might be a great one to investigate so that you can step back and see the forest not just the trees and consider your own personal philosophy about this tsunami heading right for all of us.

You also might want to head back to a previous episode I did with Dr Wallace Henley on his book titled "Who Will Rule The Coming 'Gods'?: The Looming Spiritual Crisis Of Artificial Intelligence" That episode is titled "The Moral Hazard of AI"
