At Men in the Battle, we disciple men through the trenches of sexual addiction, betrayal, and shame — and into freedom, purpose, and restored identity in Christ.
Our approach combines spiritual formation, raw honesty, community accountability, and practical recovery tools that lead to lasting transformation.
We’re not a quick fix. We’re a brotherhood in the battle.
Hi, I’m Michael Cary, founder of Men in the Battle. I started MIB because I needed it. My story is probably a lot like yours. I looked like I had my act together on the outside. I had a successful career, attended church regularly and lead a Bible study at work. But behind the scenes, I was caught in a cycle of unwanted sexual behavior, including frequent pornography use and soliciting prostitutes.
​
I felt broken, ashamed, and completely alone.
​
Despite years of trying to stop through various methods, nothing worked. Each failed attempt only deepened my shame and depression. I began to question whether God was even real. After 27 years of mishandling my sexuality in a variety of ways, I was in a very dark place. At my lowest point, I even considered ending my life.​
In 2009, God showed me the way out and I finally started living in FREEDOM!
After walking through the Path to Freedom process I learned, everything changed. I’m now living with peace—true serenity. I have a restored marriage, a thriving family, and a deep, authentic relationship with God. I wake up each day with crystal-clear purpose. My life is on track, and I’m becoming the man God always intended me to be.
Here’s what I want you to know:
There is a way out.
There is a better life—
one marked by the freedom you've always longed for.
And I want you to experience it too.
Men in the Battle is that way out, the path to that better life.
​
I know it might be difficult to believe right now, but you can experience total freedom, and I am excited you are here, knocking on the door of that freedom. Let's take this journey together, let's get you free, my friend!
