The Notorious Sinner

AN UNSTUCK PODCAST

THE NOTORIOUS SINNER

UNLEARNING THE AMERICAN CHURCH

Three men. One table. Zero filter. Bold conversations about faith, church hurt, and what it actually means to be a man.

Episode 01

THE LONELINESS TRAP

You can be in a room full of people — a church, a marriage, a friend group — and still feel completely alone. Travis, Mark, and Jared break down why isolation is a trap most men don't even realize they've fallen into.

Episode 02

THE OFFENSE TRAP

Offense is easy to pick up and nearly impossible to put down. Travis, Mark, and Jared get raw about what it actually costs you to hold onto it — and what it takes to walk free from it.

Forgiveness Anger Healing

Episode 03

HEALING THE FATHER WOUND

Whether he left, stayed silent, or never showed up the way you needed — what your father did or didn't give you is still shaping how you lead, love, and show up as a man. Travis, Mark, and Jared name it out loud.

Fatherhood Identity Healing

Episode 04

MARRIAGE IS A MIRROR

Your marriage isn't the problem — it's the mirror. Everything you've avoided in yourself eventually shows up in how you treat her. Travis, Mark, and Jared talk honestly about what it costs to stop blaming and start owning.

Episode 05

GRIND VS. GRACE

Hustle got you here. It won't carry you the rest of the way. Travis, Mark, and Jared talk about the line between working hard and earning your worth — and what it costs a man to confuse the two.

Purpose Rest Faith

Episode 06

TOXIC MASCULINITY VS. BIBLICAL MASCULINITY

Culture says masculinity is the problem. The church too often says nothing at all. Travis, Mark, and Jared cut through both and talk about what strength actually looks like when it's under God's authority.

Masculinity Strength Faith

Episode 07

SONSHIP VS. THE ORPHAN SPIRIT

Most men are still performing for a seat they already have. Travis, Mark, and Jared break down the difference between striving like an orphan and living like a son — and why that one shift changes everything downstream.

Episode 08

BOUNDARIES AREN'T WALLS

Saying no isn't the same as shutting people out. Travis, Mark, and Jared talk about why so many men swing between having no limits at all and cutting everyone off — and what healthy actually looks like in between.

THE CHURCH DIDN'T PUSH YOU AWAY.
YOUR SHAME DID.
AND NOBODY CORRECTED IT.

The Notorious Sinner is an unfiltered conversation for men who are done pretending. Done performing faith. Done sitting in pews feeling more alone than when they walked in. God ran with notorious sinners — tax collectors, adulterers, doubters, and outcasts. He didn't clean them up first. He sat with them. That's what this table is about.
