Episode 37: Christian Taboo Topics with Mike Novotny

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus podcast, Tim welcomes guest Mike Novotny, a full-time minister and host and speaker for the Time of Grace television program. Mike shares his experiences serving God's people and his journey tackling complex and often 'taboo' topics within a Biblical perspective. This includes his personal struggle with pornography addiction, which led him to understand that discussing uncomfortable issues can lead to healing. Mike's latest book, 'Taboo: Topics Christians Should Be Talking about, but Don’t' attempts to address difficult issues such as depression, suicide, sexual intimacy, marriage, LGBTQ+ identity, racial justice and addiction, among others, from a compassionate, Christian point of view. The duo also delve into matters of faith, forgiveness, discipleship, and the importance of bringing to light things that are often kept in the dark within church settings.
