The Redeemed Man: Recent Episodes
Paul Amos
The Redeemed Man podcast features interviews with dynamic speakers on a variety of topics affecting men in our competitive, polarized world. Paul Amos, founder of The Redeemed, hosts this podcast in hopes of offering Christian wisdom and insights into many of life’s challenges. Issues ranging from financial and relationship troubles to health problems, addiction, anxiety, and more.
Where is the church headed, and who will lead it? As a pastor himself, founder of Next Generation Leader, and author of the thoroughly researched book Future Church, Terry Parkman has thought a lot about those questions. In searching for the answers, he’s discovered that what Gen Z wants from life, culture, and faith differs in some surprising ways from what previous generations wanted—and what many churches currently provide.
In this week’s episode of The Redeemed Man, Terry talks with Nate Dewberry about the future of the church and how church leaders can adapt to the changing needs of newer generations. They also cover a wide range of topics that will resonate with today’s men, from overcoming self-doubt to re-centering ourselves so that the ways we seek freedom and individuality don’t end up becoming a prison.

Prayer is the bedrock of discipleship; ideally, it’s a daily practice that brings us into a closer relationship with God. Yet it still feels daunting to so many of us. Are we praying often enough, and for long enough? Are we having a conversation with God, or just rattling off a list of wishes? Are we bringing our true selves to him, or just putting on a performance?
For this week’s episode, Redeemed founder Paul Amos and ministry director Nate Dewberry christen our new Atlanta podcast studio with an in-depth discussion on prayer, the misconceptions even devout Christ-followers have about it, and what we can do to feel more fulfilled and connected to God in our daily prayer lives. No step-by-step instructions here, because there’s no single “right” way to pray—but there are some thought-provoking suggestions and guidance for ensuring that what’s central to our prayers is not our wishes and desires, but God’s.

0:00 Intro/The new podcast studio
2:05 The ways our prayer lives evolve from childhood to adulthood
6:06 Making contemplative prayer less daunting
12:07 Prayer as a communal activity

Though he’s known as “Pastor Neb” to his congregation at Pathway City Church in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Nebiye Kelile didn’t always lead a Christ-centered life. Though he was born into a devoutly Christian Ethiopian-immigrant family, he strayed from the Lord in his teenage years before recognizing the unfulfilling path he was on and returning home as a real-life “prodigal son.”
Now having rediscovered the Lord, Pastor Neb can offer plenty of advice borne from experience—both for men desperately trying to break free of sin, and for men who have rediscovered their faith but are struggling to build a deep connection with the Lord. That guidance, along with reflections on fatherhood and tips for a more satisfying prayer life, are the topics he discusses with Nate Dewberry in this week’s enlightening episode of The Redeemed Man.

On the surface, Michael Rutherford had the kind of life men fantasize about: a phenomenally successful business that spanned the globe, a jet-setting lifestyle, a beautiful fiancée, a car that cost more than many people’s houses. But when he lost it all in what felt like the blink of an eye, he realized he had no choice but to put what was left of his life in God’s hands. God didn’t restore Michael’s riches, but He offered something Michael appreciates even more—freedom from superficial worries and a sense of true purpose. Michael talks with Nate Dewberry this week about that mission—helping other people dig deep and uncover their true God-given purpose—as well as other gifts, such as clarity and patience, that have been unexpected benefits of his riches-to-rags story.

Mark Fuller has been forced to question his identity at two major junctures in his life—first when he was released from the Colorado Rockies in 1996, and again when he was fired as Auburn’s pitching coach and recruiting director in 2004. When he stopped putting his identity in baseball and started putting it in discipleship of the Lord, though, life became a lot more clear.

As the pastor of a church in California, Brenen Beeler was safe, secure, and respected—but he wasn’t truly content. When he was presented with a new opportunity at Cavalry Chapel Eagle in Idaho, it took a great deal of prayer—and numerous signs from God—to convince him it was worth taking a chance on a new church in an entirely different part of the country. But God soon started paving the way for Brenen and his family, and now, as the pastor of a thriving church in a rapidly growing community, Brenen testifies that it was “the best decision we ever made in our lives.”
Brenen recounts that story to Nate Dewberry this week and relates some of the messages he’s sharing with men in his congregation searching for meaning: listen to your feelings of “Godly discontentment”; be humble enough to recognize that all our strength comes from God alone; and make sure you have an “armor bearer” who has your back and can recognize your potential weaknesses—and be that armor bearer for others.

Off stage, Trevor Tyson is a thoughtful, soft-spoken person devout in his Christian faith. On stage, he’s the bellowing frontman of the heavy metal band Heal the Hurt. But those two personas aren’t at odds with one another—they’re just different voices expressing a similar message. “I know what it’s like to be that kid who has a hard time hearing the pastor say something, but can listen to someone scream about it,” he says.
Trevor freely admits his music isn’t for everyone, but beneath the screaming vocals and thrashing guitars lies a message of empathy—and hope—for people feeling depressed, hopeless, and alone. Trevor talks with Nate Dewberry this week about the mental health journey that inspired the creation of his band, the vital need for men to have people they can share their emotions with, and how Heal the Hurt’s musicians stay true to their Christian convictions while playing the bar scene.

The website for Arlington Family Offices lists “$16B assets under stewardship” and “870 souls under management.” Those word choices were very intentional on the part of founder Ken Polk. Ken doesn’t see his job as merely making wealth grow for its own sake; he wants to help families put some meaning into how they earn, invest, and spend their money, building a legacy of faithful stewardship in the process. Ken talks with Nate Dewberry this week about the Biblical tenets and stewardship principles that he’s put to good use both with his business and in his own family, advising, “unity is the most undervalued asset.” He also offers reassurance and advice for men who are struggling financially—and for those who are doing OK, but haven’t yet committed themselves to taking a longer-term view.

It’s easy to gloss over Easter as “just another holiday.” We assume we understand Christ’s resurrection and move on. But the resurrection isn’t something we outgrow. It’s something we grow into. In this week’s episode, Nate Dewberry and founder Paul Amos discuss why our understanding of Christ’s resurrection must continue to deepen. No matter how qualified or successful we become, we are still broken inside. And trying to manage an outward performance is exhausting. But Jesus didn’t call us to perform. He called us to follow. And real freedom begins when we stop striving and start surrendering. The reality of Easter is that Christ died for our sins long before we committed them. Rest in light of the resurrection. And join The Redeemed! Men grow when we have a place to be honest, known, and can walk with other brothers in Christ.

After experiencing a spiritual awakening following his wife’s miscarriage, Blake Prime says he was “on fire” for the Lord.
But passion without depth can fade.
Blake’s focus on growing his business and presenting a successful image slowly pulled him from that righteous path. It was only when he was willing to be honest with himself and with God that he could cast off the worldly things that were holding him back and live fully as the person God made him to be.
Blake shares his spiritual journey with Nate Dewberry in this week’s episode, along with what he’s learned about being a better husband and father and about overcoming moments of doubt. A former Division I college football player who now leads men in faith and fitness, he also offers his perspective on the connection between spiritual and physical health—and shares daily disciplines for strengthening both.
This conversation challenges men to examine their “I Am” statements, confront false fronts, and pursue a faith that transforms not only their beliefs but their homes.

Right off the bat, Chuck Bradford admits his career hasn’t always gone according to plan—his plan, anyway. But Chuck says God’s hand has guided him to places he needed to go, including Chick-fil-A, where he spent nearly 20 years absorbing principles of leadership that have changed his life. Chuck relays some of those principles to Nate Dewberry in this week’s episode, along with advice for quieting the inner doubts that nag at us, and the values that separate companies that care for their customers from those that are just trying to make a fast buck.
Chuck Bradford is an executive leader, consultant, and co-founder of Cord Analytics, a software company providing smart-data modeling for stock analysis. With more than four decades of leadership experience spanning Delta Airlines, entrepreneurial consulting, and 28 years at Chick-fil-A’s corporate office, Chuck brings deep insight into organizational leadership, change management, and executive development.
After navigating seasons of unemployment, financial uncertainty, reinvention, and corporate influence, Chuck has learned firsthand that what you believe ultimately determines how you lead. Today, he serves business owners and executives through consulting and executive coaching, helping leaders close the gap between expectations and reality while grounding their decisions in biblical principles.
Chuck has been married for 40 years, is a father and grandfather, and continues to live and lead from Auburn, Alabama, with a passion for faithful leadership that endures.

Frank Rich was first exposed to pornography at just six years old after discovering explicit material in his home. Though he went on to achieve success as an entrepreneur, bodybuilder, and health coach, he remained trapped in a cycle of pornography and shame for years. Everything began to change when other men helped him step into honesty, confront the deeper roots of his struggle, and rediscover his identity in Christ.
Now, through his Rebuilt Recovery ministry and The Super Human Life podcast, Frank helps men break free from pornography and rebuild their lives with clarity, purpose, and freedom.
In this conversation, Frank joins Nate Dewberry to share his story of struggle and redemption, the role brotherhood played in his healing, why many men remain stuck in silence, and how identity-based transformation offers a path to lasting freedom.

Wren Aaron, who spent 25 years as a coach and public school teacher, and another 17 in ministry, has plenty of experience with the ups and downs of both. Currently the regional director of the Nations of Coaches athletics ministry, Wren talks with Nate Dewberry this week about the lessons he’s learned in both roles.

In February 2023, Zach Meerkreebs was simply serving as a guest pastor at one of Asbury University’s regularly scheduled chapel services when he told his audience, “Do not leave here until you experience the love of God so that you can pour it out.” Not only did students spontaneously decide to stick around, they did so for 16 days, with the crowd at times growing to more than 50,000 people.

As we ring in a new year, The Redeemed looks back on some of the guests, themes, and stories that made a big impact on our ministry and its members in 2025.
It has been a remarkable season of witnessing God move—podcast downloads grew by 40%, small group participation surged by 125%, and our new Redeemed Community Network became a daily lifeline for connection and prayer.
Throughout the year, we explored redemption and faithful leadership with guests like Ben Fuller, Edward Graham, and Mike Zigarelli, reminding us that true success is found in service. Whether it was Ryan Wekenman discussing the strength found in being known by God or Shane Pruitt reminding us that it’s okay to admit when we can't carry the weight alone, these voices emphasized that no man has to walk alone.
Which stories made the biggest impression on you this year—and what stories will you share to energize and inspire others?

Any parent who’s raised a teenager has likely faced an emotional meltdown that seemed to come out of nowhere, and been left scratching their head trying to understand it. This week on The Redeemed Man podcast, pastor and mental health advocate Will Hutcherson joins us to shed light on the mental health struggles facing today’s teens.

Jerry Wallace has worn many hats over the course of his life—military man (including serving as a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), student, businessman, college professor, writer, and family man. It’s all given him a wide-ranging perspective on life and success. One thing, he says, has never changed: “The foundation of it all is God’s word.” Jerry shares with Paul Amos how trusting in God’s plan leads to true significance in life—whether in business, family, or in any other area of life.

Jon Ebert, founder of Single Stone Counseling, comes from a lineage of pastors. Perhaps that’s why his work focuses on religious leaders, who can feel ashamed to admit they’re struggling. This week, Jon talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about the big expectations that can burden men, striving for authenticity, and how we can redefine society’s warped, stereotypical view of masculine strength by focusing on the example presented by Jesus.

Barnabas Piper grew up the son of a pastor who practiced what he preached and encouraged deep conversations about God. Despite that upbringing, Barnabas found himself facing a crisis of identity and faith in his mid-20s. Ultimately, that crisis led to divorce, but the spiritual renewal he experienced taught him a lot about being a better husband, father, and disciple. Barnabas shares those lessons this week, along with thoughts on redemption, repentance, and voicing one’s sin and pain to God.

For the longest time, Pedro LaTorre avoided addressing what was in his heart. Childhood abuse and blaming himself for his parents’ divorce drove Pedro to perform as a way to prove his worth. But when a major arm injury prematurely ended his baseball career, Pedro’s search for a new identity drove him to engage more deeply with his feelings. In the process, he built the kind of meaningful relationship with God that he’d desired for a long time.
Listen in as Pedro discusses the problems we cause by dealing superficially with our feelings—as well as the tremendous rewards we can reap when we fully address what’s in our hearts.

This week on the Redeemed Man podcast, Redeemed director Nate Dewberry sits down with his own pastor, Kyle Jackson, from Church of the Highlands in Columbus, Georgia. Kyle shares openly about the temptations he gave into as a young man and how he found his way back to God. He offers practical advice for men struggling with their faith, searching for purpose, or questioning their worth in ministry. While reading the Bible and attending church are key, Kyle emphasizes the importance of building relationships with people who live out their faith and are guided by the Holy Spirit—these connections, he says, are vital for developing leadership skills and seeing God’s work in others.

If you’ve ever watched a pro athlete making a sign of the cross and pointing to the sky after catching a long TD bomb or smashing a homer, and asked yourself, “Does God really care what we’re doing out on the field?”, this week’s podcast is for you. Guest Jonathan Carr, a former collegiate golfer who’s now a coach and teacher, says we might be asking ourselves the wrong question—what we should really be asking is whether we care enough about what God’s doing. Jonathan and Nate Dewberry spend this episode discussing the intersections between faith and sports, and how we can give glory to God even in the heat of competition. When we remind ourselves there are actually things more important than winning, Jonathan says, we lessen our own anxiety, perform more consistently, and live a less arrogant, more Christlike existence.

Ben Peterson describes his upbringing as “emotionally insane”—a father with OCD and myriad addiction issues; a mother with borderline personality disorder; a constant parade of screaming matches. That, combined with the emotional scars of seeing combat duty in the Middle East with the Army, meant the deck was stacked against Ben in terms of ever forming healthy attachments with other people. But through introspection, close friends who weren’t just work buddies, and a commitment to the responsibilities God places on us as men, he was able to save his marriage from disaster and build healthier relationships. Ben talks with Nate Dewberry this week about unpacking our childhood traumas and why they make us the way we are, as well as spiritual warfare, the true purpose of marriage, and how his ministry, Engage Your Destiny, is helping soldiers and veterans deal with the traumas they’ve brought home from war.

Abandoned by his father and sexually abused as a pre-teen, Jim Miner’s life was one of brokenness, infidelity, and hopelessness. “All I wanted to do,” he remembers of hitting rock bottom, was to “die in the darkest, dankest, stinkiest, ugliest corner of a back alley off of Bourbon Street.” It was the grace of God, he says, that taught him how to let go—of his sexual obsessions and his long-simmering resentments, both of which were eating him up inside. Now this once hopeless individual is leading small men’s groups, both in person at his church in Iowa and online with The Redeemed. Jim bravely shares his story with Nate Dewberry and our listeners this week, offering life lessons, reassurance, and many kind words for the men he leads in his groups—men whom he calls, with tears in his eyes, his “heroes.”

During his days in the Navy, Charlie Watkins’ best friend was a surgeon who was great with patients, always stayed in shape, and maintained a smile on his face even in the high-stress environment of a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser. One day Charlie asked his friend, “Jim, you’ve got to tell me what you’ve got!”—and was invited to a Bible study session that forever changed his life. Today, as a successful businessman and Christian leader, Charlie is the one other men are coming to for inspiration and advice on issues ranging from deep-seated family wounds to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. He relates what he’s learned over the course of his fascinating life in his new book, Throw No Rocks—and discusses those lessons in a deep, rewarding conversation with Nate Dewberry in this week’s edition of The Redeemed Man.

Ron Acosta’s childhood was a nonstop litany of insults, abuse, and even outright abandonment. Constantly having to hear people (even his own family members) tell him he’d never amount to anything made him that much more motivated to succeed in life—and succeed he did, eventually becoming the VP of operations at Walmart. But he still had to confront the wounds of his past—and he still had to learn that no matter how motivated or driven you might be, there’s more to life than “winning.” Ron, who just published his memoir Unstoppable Grace, talks with Nate Dewberry about how he’s navigated both the agonies and triumphs of his incredible life story. And he shares lessons he’s learned along the way about leadership, dealing with trauma, and learning to see yourself not as the person your worst detractors say you are, but as the person God knows you to be.

In his very first “Mighty Mite” football game at age six, on a play called “Splat Green Sweep Right,” Jordan Kunaszyk scored a 60-yard TD. Today he’s an NFL veteran who’s played for Carolina, Washington, and Cleveland. But Jordan isn’t shy about admitting that the journey in between—like his personal faith journey—has had plenty of ups, downs, and false starts. This week Jordan talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about both journeys and what he’s learned along the way—about perseverance, living a moral life, putting God’s word first, and maintaining a strong faith even through frustrating times.

As a doctoral candidate in counselor education and vice president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, Zach Clinton has seen up close our society’s epidemic of depression, loneliness, and hopelessness. In this week’s podcast, he talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about ways men can combat that epidemic, build emotional and spiritual resilience, and overcome the things standing in the way of a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. Resilience, he says, can be summed up with the two words that form the title of his new book, Even If: Even if the world bombards us with challenges, pressures, and temptations, by staying true to our faith, family, friends, and principles we can achieve courageous and fulfilling lives.

It was supposed to just be a fun story for the USC student newspaper, but Ben Malcolmson’s tryout for the Trojans football team led to a spot as a walk-on wide receiver—and a lengthy professional relationship with head coach Pete Carroll, whom Ben served as a special assistant when Carroll became head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Ben’s story wasn’t without its challenges, pitfalls, and disappointments, but in the fullness of time, he came to understand the purpose God had in mind for him—and why God had put him on such an amazing path. Ben talks with Nate Dewberry on this week’s podcast about his experiences in the fast-paced world of professional football, living fully in our identities in Christ, and staying willing to trust God’s for us even when the full picture isn’t immediately clear.

Singer/songwriter Kristian Stanfill has been leading worship services ever since he was 15 years old; unfortunately, he had a drinking problem for nearly that long. He’d managed to mask it reasonably well for years, “talking around” his struggles rather than admitting to them directly. But it all came to a head in November 2020, when his wife and two best friends finally confronted him and he found himself on the verge of losing “every good thing that God has given to me.” Over the course of his recovery and sobriety, though, Kristian says he’s learned a lot about redemption, grace, and the true nature of the freedom God offers us. He’s also learned a lot about the importance of being open and honest—with God, our loved ones, and ourselves. Kristian says he’s found incredible fulfillment in sharing that message with others, and he shares it with Nate Dewberry and The Redeemed Man audience in this week’s podcast.

But even with all these blessings, Cody has faced his share of challenges, from struggling to catch on with a college team to being a child of divorce. Cody talks with Nate Dewberry this week about how he’s persevered through difficulties and setbacks, and how building community at his church has helped him find a sense of freedom from past failures.

As a former Division I college basketball player who’d been playing the game ever since he was a little kid, Doug Elks is no stranger to physical exertion or the sacrifices athletes make. Even with that in mind, though, running 100 miles wearing a weighted 20-pound vest—as Doug, an avid long-distance runner, plans to do this December—might sound extreme. But he says he’s doing it to symbolize the weight many men carry around on their souls every day, weight we were never intended to carry. And whether our suffering comes from an ultramarathon or any of the other challenges we might face in life, there’s meaning in it if we’re willing to look for it. Doug, who founded the Ambition In Mind (AIM) ministry in 2020, talks with Nate Dewberry this week about his own spiritual awakening, finding the true meaning in suffering, and how our spiritual journey can go from a trudge to a sprint if we find the right people to walk with us.

With all the distractions presented by the media, popular culture, and the online world, it can be hard to carve out time and space to block out the outside world and just be with God. This week’s episode of The Redeemed Man contains some worthwhile advice on how to do it—and ironically enough, it comes from someone in the entertainment industry: Tracy Campbell, a Georgia native who’s now a writer, actor, and director in southern California. Despite the widely held stereotype that the entertainment world is incompatible with a meaningful spiritual life, Tracy shares how he’s managed to stay true to himself and to God despite the temptations of both Hollywood and the single life. He also offers insightful thoughts into having patience and maintaining one’s faith even in the midst of tragedy and heartache.

Earlier this year, Bambrick created a video responding to the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl ad that attracted more than half a million views; he talks with Nate Dewberry about dealing with the pressures (both positive and negative) of sudden online fame, and what he’s learned about interacting with the chaotic and often hostile world of social media. Jamie also talks about his personal faith journey and how faith helped him and his wife through their fertility struggles, as well as the people in Jamie’s life who keep him going and the hopeful signs he sees in faith communities around the world.

New to Hollywood and hungry for success, model/actor Joshua Broome agreed to do a porn film “just to put [his] toe in the water.” When word got back to his hometown, though, the shame convinced him a porn star was all he’d ever be, and he ended up appearing in more than 1,000 adult films before finally leaving the industry in 2013. But with the help of a loving wife, a good spiritual advisor, and friends willing to hold him accountable, Joshua realized he didn’t have to be defined by his past—and that God had so much more in store for his future. Today a sought-after speaker and author of 7 Lies That Will Ruin Your Life, Joshua speaks with Nate Dewberry about the bad choices and misconceptions that sent him down a dark path, as well as the lessons that helped him realize he was still worthy of God’s love. For anyone convinced that past mistakes have rendered them unworthy and unlovable, this week’s Redeemed Man podcast is a must-listen.

At just 16 years old, Jonathan Irons was tried as an adult, convicted, and sentenced to 50 years in prison—all for a burglary and assault he didn’t commit. Strengthened by his faith and a prison ministry that believed in him, he endured 22 years of incarceration before being released in 2020. Today, he and his wife, former WNBA superstar Maya Moore, run Win With Justice, a nonprofit educating the public about how the justice system works, the potential for abuses that exist—and how people can help prisoners looking for a second chance. This week Jonathan tells his stunning story to Paul Amos and Nate Dewberry, and shares his reflections on how anyone can live out Jesus’s call to help “the least of [His] people.”

A year ago, podcast guest Matt Bostic shared his story of losing his grip in the wake of his mother’s death, developing a serious drinking problem, finally finding God’s redemption with the help of committed counselors—and becoming one of those counselors as program director for the Life House ministry.

He also talks with Nate Dewberry about how to help others without draining yourself, the joys of grandfatherhood, and how he’ll be using his love of basketball to raise support for Life House in a unique effort this fall.

Like many young people who’ve grown up in physically and emotionally abusive households, Ben Bennett turned to self-destructive methods to find the acceptance and fulfillment he’d never received from his parents—from overconsumption of food and alcohol to pornography. After trying unsuccessfully to shake his porn addiction on his own, Ben connected with Dr. Ted Roberts and Pure Desire Ministries, who taught him about the neuroscience of his sinful behaviors. For the past 10 years, Ben has worked with ministry leaders and therapists alike to help others kick their destructive behaviors by digging into the “unmet longings” behind them. Ben talks with Nate Dewberry this week about his struggles as a young man and how he finally broke free of them, and offers encouragement to other struggling men who believe—wrongly, as he once did—that their sins have caused God to turn His back.

Nine years ago, Daniel Brooker lost the only woman he’d ever loved, his wife Lyndsie, to ovarian cancer. As he struggled to stay strong in his faith and communicate what he was feeling to others, he discovered that while there are many support groups and resources for widows, there were glaringly few for widowers. The experience prompted him to found Refuge, a ministry for men dealing with the loss of a beloved spouse. This week Daniel talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about his journey and everything he’s learned from it, one of the most important being how to (and how not to) communicate with someone who’s suffered a monumental loss: “Don’t tell someone it’s going to be OK—stay with them until they can say it themselves.”

Lawrence Scott was raised by a long line of ministers, played football at the U.S. Military Academy, served in the Army, and worked as a pastor himself, so it’s safe to say he’s acquired a lot of knowledge about leadership from a wide variety of sources. Nate Dewberry talks with Lawrence about what he’s learned in this week’s Redeemed Man podcast, from the need for humility to finding your life purpose even when life doesn’t pan out exactly as you’d planned. They also talk about “LoSco Speaks,” the purpose-based leadership program he launched in 2020, and how American Christians can unify the church—and society—by focusing less on finding fault in one another and more on following the example of Jesus.

Sean Knox, the co-owner and president of Columbus-based Knox Pest Control, has long had a passion for mountain climbing—one that recently took him to the peak of Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. For him, though, the climb was about more than just thrills and the once-in-a-lifetime view from 22,838 feet up; Sean found that the natural wonder of the mountain brought him closer to God and enriched his prayer life like never before. Sean talks with Nate Dewberry this week about the trip up the mountain as well as more down-to-earth topics, including keeping passions from turning into obsessions and countering the self-doubt that eats away at all of us.

Jake Kegg’s uncle lived a life beset by addiction and marked by tragedy, but through all those tribulations he trusted in—and was grateful for—God’s redemption. That inspired Jake to build a life centered around sharing God’s love with others, and today he and his wife are doing just that, leading small ministry groups with children, adults, and couples alike. This week Jake and Redeemed director Nate Dewberry discuss a variety of topics ranging from building healthy habits and finding one’s God-given purpose to overcoming disappointment and the self-doubt that, without us even realizing it, can draw us away from a deeper relationship with the Lord.

JT Clark says he’s spent most of his life “searching for something.” Sometimes he tried to fill that void with athletics or his love of the outdoors; more often, he filled it with unhealthy things like drugs or sexual conquests. It wasn’t until three years ago, when he was invited to church by a pastor who knew about the sins in his past, that he realized God could fill that void better than anything. Through his work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he’s sharing the lessons he’s learned—and this week he talks with Nate Dewberry about them as well, from the realization that we can resist sin far better with God than we can on our own to the joy of serving God and trusting in His plan.

If many men these days act like boys—fighting, racking up sexual conquests, obsessing over childish pursuits—author Steven Arms says it might be because nobody ever told them, “You’re a man now.” Steven, on the other hand, did hear that from his father and male relatives at the “rite of passage weekend” they put together for him when he turned 13. Now, through his book Milestone to Manhood and the accompanying website and podcast, Steven gives other men tips on how they can have these bonding weekends with their own sons. This week Steven talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about rites of passage and how men of all generations can benefit from them—and how such rites of passage can also be valuable for daughters, as well as boys growing up in homes without fathers.

Most “high school sweethearts” break up and go their separate ways before high school is even over with. Chris and Carla Hines, though, have kept their relationship going for going on 36 years—nearly three decades of that as a married couple. It hasn’t always been easy, and both Chris and Carla admit they hadn’t prepared themselves to be the “very best version” of themselves for each other at the time they got married. But by re-centering their relationship with God as the highest priority, and learning to live in the moment, they’ve made their marriage last. Chris and Carla talk with Nate Dewberry this week about the common mistakes of young love, their new “season” as grandparents and empty-nesters, and their own ministry, Marriage in Focus.

Life in the military is never easy, but there are entirely new challenges when you have to balance your service obligations with your responsibilities as a spouse and parents. This week we bring you conversations with two couples—Jim and Tabitha Pooler and Russ and Cindy Leaphart—about some specific challenges they've faced and how they persevered. For the Leapharts, it was having to help their children adjust to frequent moves and "re-orienting" when Army work started cutting into family responsibilities; for the Poolers, it was coping with the trauma of multiple miscarriages while Tabitha and Jim were on opposite sides of the world. Through their stories you'll learn lessons on open and honest communication, the importance of thorough planning, and how to keep the stress of military life from overwhelming an otherwise happy marriage.

This week Herman talks with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry about the ups and downs of his life and what he’s learned from it all—particularly the need to be obedient to God, and to not talk so much that you can’t hear what God is saying back.

The past few years have been eventful ones, to say the least, for Sammy Cosa. Right before the COVID pandemic hit, he left a business partnership that had turned into an “unethical” environment and moved with his wife and three children to Idaho. Two years later, he and his wife came close to losing their fourth child. Through it all, though, he says he’s been reminded of the incredible strength and reassurance God has to offer all of us. This week Sammy talks with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry about what he’s learned from the tumultuous events in his life and the important lessons he’s learned from them—as well as the lessons he’s learned from the guests on his own podcast, “Created to Lead.”

Shortly before Christmas, you heard a special holiday message from Jordan Thome, a West Point grad who works with the men’s ministry at his church in Cincinnati. In this week’s podcast, Nate Dewberry circles back with Jordan to talk about his own faith upbringing and the times he fell short of truly living for God, as well as his current life and how he lives out his faith as a husband, father, and employee. Jordan also discusses his work with his church’s men’s ministry and the biggest problem he sees there—isolation. When men don’t have an outlet for deep conversations about their struggles or anxieties, he says, they can’t get free of them. It’s time for men to step up and get involved, both in their churches and in the lives of friends who need support and guidance.

Veterans transitioning out of lengthy military careers find themselves particularly vulnerable to a variety of life struggles, including depression, addiction, and suicide. Eric Brew knows this firsthand—when his 25-year military career ended right as he was going through a second divorce, he came close to taking his own life. But with God’s help, he found his way back from the abyss, and today, as the Georgia head of the Warriors Set Free ministry, he’s helping other struggling vets do the same. This week Eric has a frank and enlightening conversation about his own struggles and how they guide his ministry work, as well as the challenges of parenthood, what he’s learned from his military service, and the need to understand the “voice and character” of the Lord.

With Christmas almost upon us, this week The Redeemed turns its podcast over to Army veteran and ministry leader Jordan Thome, who offers his thoughts on Jesus’s statement “I am the light of the world” and what it means for us. Jesus, he says, is the fulfillment of prophecies and covenants made long before He came to earth. Reflecting more deeply on those promises kept, and increasing our appreciation for those gifts, will help us to get in the right frame of mind this Christmas season and become more committed to sharing God’s light throughout the year.

It’s the season of gift-giving, and in this week’s podcast Ricky Smith, lead pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia, talks with Nate Dewberry about the most important gift any of us have ever received: God’s love, expressed through His son Jesus. Many times we might not consider ourselves worthy of that gift; other times we might not think about it at all. But God sending His son to die for us is a clear indicator both of how much He loves us, and of how much He’s willing to forgive.

Jeremy Simmons thought he had everything—he had a fast-paced career, he was “planting” a new church, he had a successful wife and two beautiful daughters. But when his marriage fell apart, he says he felt “like I was watching the towers of my life fall down around me.” Moving back in with his parents and starting over was a humbling experience, but when he stopped trying to control everything and just let God carry him, Jeremy saw a glimmer of hope. Now remarried with a big blended family and working an exciting career in the healthcare industry, Jeremy has learned a lot from his experience—and in this week’s podcast with Nate Dewberry, he’s eager to share it with our listeners.

Rock Sandretto is an entrepreneur who, along with his beautiful wife and four children, manages a variety of successful business ventures in the Birmingham area. But if you told him about all that 15 years ago—when he was struggling to kick a drug addiction and his own parole officer told him he probably wasn’t going to be able to do it—he might not have believed you. The road to redemption was a long one that required discipline and the will to do difficult things, and in this week’s podcast Rock talks with The Redeemed’s Nate Dewberry about the many important lessons he learned along the way.

This week we shift from our usual podcast format to three short segments with men for whom The Redeemed has made a real-life impact. You’ll meet Ron, who’s been involved with his church but was seeking a deeper connection with God; Vincent, who originally attended the Restored conference just to meet Tim Tebow but ended up finding something greater; and Noel, who’s taking what he’s gained from The Redeemed’s small groups and carrying it to others. We hope their conversations with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry will inspire you with a sense of purpose and gratitude for God’s many gifts as we head into the heart of the holiday season.

Personal trainer Chad McManus may focus primarily on his clients’ physical fitness, but his own personal philosophy is that physical, mental, and spiritual health are all connected, which can make it hard to improve one part when the others are lacking. In this week’s podcast with Nate Dewberry, Chad talks about recovering from the pain of divorce, being a dad (and stepdad), and the dangers of the “what now?” factor, that inner voice that can cause us to grow complacent once we’ve achieved major goals. He also shares his own tips for getting (and staying) physically fit—which includes spending time around the right kind of people.

The stops on Thomas Cox’s physical fitness journey include four years as a quarterback for the UAB Blazers, seven as a college football coach, and the creation of both a health-oriented meal delivery service and a successful catering company. One of the biggest keys to his success, he says—in business, fitness, and life—is being willing to do hard things. “When hard tasks come up that are unknown,” he explains, “I want to go back to the hard things that I’ve done and say, ‘I did that, I know I can do this.’” In this week’s podcast with Nate Dewberry, Thomas talks about the challenges and joys of being a businessman, what he’s learned as a husband and father, and the times when men need to be a little selfish to keep themselves improving. He even shares some simple but profound tips on how men can start feeling healthier almost right away.

An interest in health and fitness that Brannen Dorman developed as a young kid eventually took him to Wheaton College, where he was a fullback on the football team; to coaching at schools in Florida; and now to Training Think Tank in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he helps athletes and others set fitness performance goals and plan how to achieve them. Though the world of fitness is “not a Christ-centric space,” Brannen has still found openings to talk about his faith, particularly with athletes who find themselves disillusioned by the win-at-all-costs attitude prevalent in sports—or just by modern life in general. Brannen talks with Paul Amos about the intersection between faith and fitness, as well as raising a family of faith, in this week’s podcast.

Greg Countryman didn’t make it from special-ed student to quadruple-degreed college graduate, professor, and now sheriff of Muscogee County, Georgia, without gaining some important insights along the way. This week the three-decade law enforcement veteran talks with Paul Amos about his personal journey, the challenges one faces as a high-profile public servant, and the hallmarks of good leadership. One key is knowing when to be willing to compromise, but there are some things, he says, that you should never compromise on—first and foremost, putting the Lord first and striving to do things “God’s way, not your way.”

The theme for the month of October at The Redeemed is leadership, and in this podcast Paul Amos and Nate Dewberry introduce the topic by talking about what they’ve learned—not just as leaders of companies or organizations, but as leaders of families. Among those lessons: Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, but don’t let those mistakes define your identity, either; don’t just assume that the “view from the top” is the right one; and always value people for who they are, not just what they can do for you. The last one is particularly important to being a good leader as a father, for as Paul says, if you can’t demonstrate love to other people, they’ll figure it out pretty quickly.

From the first time Gage Dollar picked up a bat as a tee-ball player in his youth, he was hooked. He went on to become a star pitcher for the Central High School baseball team in Phenix City, Alabama, and then for the Alabama State Hornets—years of experience that taught him about teamwork, appreciating one’s blessings, and the value of community in becoming a confident and authentic leader. Gage shares some of those lessons, along with what he’s learned as a husband and a new dad, with Nate Dewberry in this week’s podcast. Being part of an open and honest community—and being willing to accept and deal with failure—are two things Gage says will serve men well whether they’re in sports, business, ministry, or anything else.

“We have plans, but God directs our path,” says Omar Mance. His own life is proof of that: He went to LSU with hopes of making it to the NBA, but after sensing he needed something different in his life, he transferred to a smaller school, which set him on the road to becoming a coach and mentor. After coaching stints at a wide variety of universities, Mance founded The Circle Legacy, a nonprofit dedicated to helping men become mentors who can make a meaningful impact and leave spiritual legacies of their own. This week he talks with Nate Dewberry about sports, coaching, and being open to seeing how God can turn times of struggle or disappointment into something positive.

Blake Russell says he was “19 years old but with a Hollywood-sized ego” when he went from merely doing drugs to selling them. That arrogance would cost him a promising baseball career, a girlfriend—and, eventually, his freedom, as he spent years in prison for trafficking methamphetamine. In prison, though, he had a “sentimental moment” that guided him to God and forever changed his life. Blake, now out of prison and serving as ministry director of Take the City in Columbus, Georgia, talks with Paul Amos about that moment of salvation, the bad decisions that led up to it, and how his life has taken on newfound conviction, humility, and meaning since then.

Ian Morgan Cron is an Episcopal priest, therapist, and author who has written extensively about personality types and how they interact, as well as the “broken stories” we tell ourselves that perpetuate self-destructive behavior. In this week’s podcast, close friends Ian and Paul Amos discuss topics ranging from the enneagram personality test to breaking free of false narratives, sharing our truths with others, and learning to enjoy our own friendship. Loving yourself—your true self—doesn’t have to be egotistical, Ian says. Why wouldn’t God want us to like ourselves as much as He does?

Not only was quitting drinking only the beginning of Andy Brannum’s spiritual journey, it may have been the easiest part. When Andy (reluctantly) answered the call to ministry, he encountered a whole new set of challenges, from overwork to living with a wife and three kids in a 900-square-foot house. In this week’s podcast, Andy talks with Nate Dewberry about these struggles, times when he challenged God outright, and what it’s all led to—the formation of Thrive, a ministry that works with churches to help them create tailored, relevant men’s ministries of their own.

Steven Pemberton is more than happy to tell you about the mistakes he’s made and the trials and tribulations he’s gone through. What he won’t try to do is blame them on anyone else. If anything, he says, owning up to the mistakes he’s made in his life allows him to see how much God has helped him grow since then. This week Steven has an open, honest, and upbeat conversation with Nate Dewberry about how his marriage nearly collapsed, how he and his wife salvaged it, and how being honest about his fears and failings—with both God and other men—helped him find the strength and hope that keeps him going today.

Though he’s still young, Army recon platoon leader Josh Babb has faced plenty of difficulties and dilemmas, from identity struggles to an unhealthy dependence on pornography to the challenge of finding community when you’re in the military and frequently on the move. But Josh says he managed to find the answers to all of those challenges and more in scripture, and his relationship with the Lord has never been stronger. Josh talks with Nate Dewberry about how he found his identity in Christ and learned to resist the lures of the flesh, as well as his advice for fellow service members who face isolation and temptation as they live the nomadic life of a modern soldier.

The theme for August at The Redeemed is stories of hope and restoration. Paul Amos and Nate Dewberry give a brief introduction to that theme in this short edition of The Redeemed Man podcast, emphasizing the importance of sharing our stories with one another—both the stories of our sins and failings and the stories of our triumphs. Ultimately, we have to remember that any truly inspiring redemption story has to include some struggle.
Mike Malone’s life has certainly seen its share of challenges and low points, but none were more devastating than the cancer diagnosis he received in 2016. His treatment and recovery were long and at times painful, but over the course of that struggle, he learned things that transformed his life—how his prior experiences had prepared him for the battle; how he could let go of anger and bitterness he’d been carrying around for years; and how God was using cancer to help him become a better man. Mike talks with Nate Dewberry about all these revelations in this week’s podcast, as well as the importance of a loving wife and what we should really be looking for when we open the Bible.

Some “adrenaline junkies” chase their thrills by climbing mountains, racing cars, or skydiving. But the adrenaline rush that compulsive gamblers get from placing bets is even more addictive—and far more destructive. This week Nate Dewberry talks with a recovered gambling addict about how he got hooked, how he nearly lost everything, and how he overcame his addiction. The big key, he says, has been the loyal support of family and friends, who continue to help him resist temptation and fill the surprisingly large time void that gambling left behind.

Getting a glimpse of one of dad’s Playboy magazines is so common it’s treated as a rite of passage for many men, but beneath that patina of innocence lies the potential for real and lasting damage. Rev. Michael Cusick was first exposed to porn at age 4 and by his teen years was a full-blown porn addict; it continued to blossom into a sex addiction that nearly destroyed his marriage. But he turned his life around and founded Restoring the Soul, a ministry that combines therapeutic principles with scripture to help men overcome unhealthy sexual dependencies. Michael talks with Paul Amos in this week’s podcast about the real damage porn addiction can do and how men can break free of it to lead more fulfilling lives.

When Shawn Ryan counsels addicts at Pennsylvania Adult and Teen Challenge, he speaks as someone who has seen addiction from the inside—and ridden it all the way to rock bottom.

This week Shawn talks with Nate Dewberry about his harrowing story and what saved him, with advice for both people struggling with drugs and parents desperate to save their kids from addiction.

Jeff Struecker’s 23-year career in the United States Army has taken him from the training grounds of Fort Moore to the bloody streets of Iraq and Somalia. It’s also taken him on a unique journey from soldier to chaplain, a journey that allowed him to share his faith with many other men in uniform and continue changing lives as the founding pastor of 2 Cities Church in Columbus, Georgia. In conversation with Paul Amos, the Silver Star honoree and Army Ranger Hall of Famer talks about how faith has impacted his military service and patriotism, being a leader to his own family, and learning to let go of our mistakes.

Fatherhood is full of challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities to make mistakes. In the Bible, though, God has given us all kinds of instructions on how to overcome them. Wrapping up this month’s theme of fatherhood, in this podcast Nate Dewberry talks about those lessons and how we can apply them in our own lives as fathers. One of the best things we can do, he says, is to emulate toward our children the kind of father God wants to be toward us—relational, approachable, and above all, forgiving.

The epidemic of absentee fathers in America has hurt countless children and imperiled their futures, but there is still hope for people even when they’ve had to grow up without a father. In this podcast, two adult men who grew up without their fathers—Peyton Linder of Troy University at Phenix City and Chase Tucker of River of Life Church—discuss the struggles they faced as children and the mistakes they made trying to heal the “father wound.” But they also talk about how they’ve risen above those challenges—and how they’re trying to “break the cycle” of fatherly abandonment by spreading the Gospel and being the mentors and role models children and fathers alike desperately need.

The Redeemed director Nate Dewberry introduces us to his son James, a 16-year-old on the track team at Auburn High School. Together they answer a series of blind questions covering everything from dream vacation spots and favorite books of the Bible to what they admire about each other and their shared experience of Nate’s divorce and remarriage. One recurring theme is that time passes a lot quicker than we think—which just makes it all the more important for fathers to teach, encourage, and love their children at every opportunity.

Jerrad Lopes didn’t have much of a role model for being a good father—his own dad bailed on the family when Jerrad was just 3—and he admits to making plenty of mistakes as a husband and father himself. But in an effort to process his conflicted emotions, he started a blog that went viral and eventually turned into the Dad Tired ministry, which tries to equip men to lead their families well—whether they grew up with good role models or not. This week Jerrad talks with Nate Dewberry about his ministry, filling the vital roles of spouse, parent, and disciple, and giving his children the tools to do the same.

Every redemption story has at least a few wrong turns and false starts. Musician and minister Tim Maggart will admit to a number of them in his life, including breaking up with the woman who would later become his wife. But appreciating what you have—and being willing to put it all in God’s hands when everything seems lost—has guided Tim to a fulfilling career in ministry, a marriage that’s stronger than it’s ever been, and a family that’s building an enduring legacy. Tim talks about all of it with Nate Dewberry in this week’s podcast, which includes poignant advice for men who feel their marriages slipping away.

Billy Blanchard inherited a proud legacy indeed—that of his father James Blanchard, the Georgia business icon who led Synovus Financial Corporation through an era of rapid growth and created a forum at Columbus State University to promote the principles of servant leadership. But that still left Billy with the question of how to pass that legacy on to his own children—and what kind of a new legacy to create for himself. In this podcast, Billy talks with Paul Amos about the values he inherited from his parents and the values he’s trying to instill in his kids in an often difficult and unforgiving world.

As a child, Chris Shinnick remembers, he was uncommonly blessed to have two parents who were authentic and consistent as role models for a faithful life. Today, as a father of three and pastor of Manna Church West Florida in Niceville, Fla., he has the blessing—and bears the burden—of presenting a similarly godly example for both his family and his congregation. In conversation with Nate Dewberry, Chris talks about the importance of letting children find their own answers to questions of faith, as well as being a parenting “team” with his wife, the lessons they learned from losing an infant child, and putting grace and repentance before shame and condemnation.

The theme at The Redeemed for the month of May is creating a family faith legacy. In this podcast, founder Paul Amos and director Nate Dewberry introduce listeners to that topic by telling their own stories—not just of the strong legacies that they inherited, but also of how they re-committed to those legacies after hitting low points in their lives, and what they’re doing to pass along those strengthened legacies to new generations. Over the course of their conversation, they touch on topics such as the important roles of women in a family, overcoming shame, and being present for one’s children—demonstrating that a faith legacy is a combination of many more factors than we might realize.

How do you share your faith in the workplace without being overbearing? How do you build understanding with co-workers who have little in common with you? How can you use your life experiences to help others? These topics and more are covered in our latest podcast, a wide-ranging conversation with Louisiana business owner David Griffin about effective leadership both at work and at home. Balancing the needs of employees and family members isn’t easy, Griffin says, nor is managing a diverse workplace. But he says those who see the big picture and give without asking “What’s in it for me” will achieve success—and set others up to follow in their footsteps.

Over the course of 18 years as a college football coach, and another decade at the high school level, Patrick Nix—a former standout QB at Auburn—has seen plenty of ups and downs, wins and losses. But the example his father set as a coach, father, and Christian helped teach him that even the setbacks and losses have a purpose and meaning in God’s grand plan for our lives. In this podcast, Patrick discusses his philosophies as a coach and as a parent, the importance of openly expressing one’s faith, and the seminal moment in his teenage years that taught him to always see the bigger picture.

Nearly 20 years ago, Simon Lee started having a recurring dream of a flashing neon sign. After months of prayer and consulting with people he knew, Simon decided he’d figured out what the dream meant: Instead of inheriting his father’s business, he should forge out on a venture of his own—and give away 50% of the profits. What sounded crazy at first has turned out to be true inspiration, as his company, Buy On Purpose (formerly EIS Office Solutions), has achieved tremendous success without compromising on its Christian values. In this podcast, Simon talks about how he built the business, being open about faith in the workplace, and keeping one’s life focused on what truly matters.

Few people have had their faith tested quite like Brad Palm has. A helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, Palm was dropping off some special forces on a mission in eastern Afghanistan when the rotors on his damaged MH-47 Chinook failed, resulting in a crash that killed one of his close friends. Seriously injured, blind in one eye, and facing the prospect of never flying again, Palm “wrestled” with discouragement and the thorny question of whether he could still trust in God, but found his faith and purpose renewed after “preaching the gospel to [him]self” and receiving the support and encouragement of his faith community. His story is sure to resonate with military members and anyone struggling with matters of faith.

Mayo Sowell’s career has taken him to the pulpit, but his life path could’ve led to a different and much darker place. An Auburn football standout whose pro career was cut short by injury, he got into the drug trade and was eventually sentenced to five years in federal prison. Toward the end of his sentence, though, a chance encounter with a fellow inmate guided him to God and a total change in his world view. With frankness and humor, Mayo talks about the lessons he’s learned over the course of his eventful life, and about the message he tries to put forth as pastor at LIIV Atlanta, the church he founded last year. Men of all ages and backgrounds can benefit from his advice for maintaining healthy friendships and staying humble in a world full of temptation.

So often we think we’re doing the “noble thing” by keeping our pain and brokenness hidden; Matt Bostic knows all too well that this isn’t the case. In this podcast, Bostic tells the story of how he bounced from ministry to ministry in the wake of his mother’s death, eventually developing a drinking problem that took him to some of the lowest depths of his life. In the process of recovery, he learned that he didn’t have to take on all his problems and responsibilities alone—trusting other people, and God, helped him find the direction and purpose he was desperately seeking. Today, as the program director for Life House University, a ministry helping those who have recently got out of jail or rehab get a fresh start, Bostic says he’s found that not going alone is the best way to help yourself—as well as others in need.

Jason McKenzie’s seemingly perfect life—his own business, an active lifestyle, a loving marriage—was devastated in an instant when his wife Natalie committed suicide in 2011. Though he kept his pain inside for years, he eventually realized just how desperately his experience, wisdom, and compassion were needed at a time when the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic was driving suicide rates sky-high. In this conversation with Paul Amos, Jason touches on grief, patience, and staying faithful through dark times. He also offers powerful advice, learned through experience, for those who have contemplated suicide themselves: Never lose sight of the bigger picture, and always be willing to offer forgiveness—not only to others, but to yourself.

This month’s theme for The Redeemed Man podcast is overcoming tragedy. Director Nathan Dewberry gives us a short introduction to this topic in this week’s edition. Nate draws lessons from scripture, the examples of his grandmothers who persevered even after losing their spouses, and his own traumatic divorce as he shares his thoughts on how men in crisis can maintain their faith in God even when life has taken a painful turn and rediscover the hope that He offers each of us. Finding strength and reassurance in other people is key—and for those of us who have survived tragedy and thrived, so is providing that reassurance for those in need.

Great communicators aren’t born, they’re made—and that goes double for people in relationships, who have to commit to learning more every day about their partners and how best to speak, listen, and relate to them.
In this podcast, Jon and Teresa “Tree” Demeter cover a wide range of topics including being a more active listener, shutting out distractions, and what it’s been like sharing those lessons with couples in their “Weekend to Remember” marriage retreats. They even offer tips on being “good at fighting”—listening for understanding rather than ammunition, and turning arguments into opportunities for growth and problem-solving, rather than just venting frustration and being “right.”

After a successful military career that included the liberation of Baghdad in 2003, Marine infantryman Jeremy Stalnecker struggled to find an identity or meaning outside of his military career—and his relationships suffered as a result. But after meeting with fellow vets 10 years later, he realized God had found him a purpose helping hurting veterans through the Mighty Oaks Foundation.
In this podcast, Jeremy talks with Paul Amos about losing one’s identity, regaining it, and finding a life beyond our most traumatic experiences. Trauma may be an indelible part of our past, he explains, but finding purpose and direction in Christ can keep it from controlling us.

When tragedy strikes, how do we acknowledge our sense of loss and honor our need to grieve while still moving forward in life? Church of the Highlands’ Brandon Bailey had to figure this out in real time after he and his wife lost a pregnancy, but he found that God still had a plan for him, even if it wasn’t the same as the plan he’d made for himself. In this conversation with Nathan Dewberry, Brandon talks about bouncing back from tragedy and the unexpected way he and his wife were able to grow their family, as well as his ministry work in prisons, self-improvement, and more.

The Redeemed Man podcast is joined by Kenny Luck, founder of Every Man Ministries, a church-to-church men’s ministry that provides tools and resources for men to achieve “spiritual maturity." The key to finding it, he says, is to stop letting one’s purpose be determined by other people or the surrounding culture, and to focus less on the question of “Am I influential in the world?” and more on “What kind of influence am I having?” And by looking deeper, honestly assessing our emotions, and turning to God for direction, we can unlock the mystery of who we are and what we were put on earth to do.

Rodney McClure, Founder & Lead Care Pastor of One Need, and Lance Osborne, the organization’s CEO join The Redeemed Man Podcast. Community churches are always getting requests for help from people in difficult financial situations, but they don’t always have the time, manpower, or resources to give those requests the attention they deserve. One Need partners with churches to review requests for assistance, determine what the actual need is, and broadcast the need to e-mail subscribers who can donate to help. “What the partnership with One Need allows that church to do is have a full-time benevolence team. It’s all we do,” Osborne says. “And because it’s all we do, we’re able to spend the right amount of time that it takes to go through that discernment process, because it’s in that conversation that we’re able to trust these people.”

Kevin Harris, president of Radical Mentoring, joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Radical Mentoring is a ministry facilitating group mentorship opportunities and helping individuals find the tools to lead groups.
Rather than being one-on-one and topic-driven, the organization’s group mentorship model, as envisioned by founder Regi Campbell, mirrors the conversations Jesus had with disciples and followers: open, freewheeling, sharing stories rather than giving lectures. “What we are saying is your qualifications to be a mentor are your life story, your life experiences, and your willingness to open your life up to younger men and tell them about some of the places you’ve been and the mistakes you’ve made,” explains Harris, who benefited from the group himself while dealing with depression and career-related stress. “Not just to have you teach us everything you know.”

John Shibley joins The Redeemed Man podcast to discuss how to become a servant leader. John Shibley is a leadership coach who is spreading the gospel of servant leadership through his podcast, writing, and ministry. Servant leadership means focusing less on one’s own power, influence, and accomplishments and instead prioritizing the growth and well-being of those being led—recognizing that we have just as much a responsibility to serve them as they have to serve us. And that’s not just a positive management technique, Shibley says, it’s walking in the footsteps of Jesus Himself, the greatest servant-leader who ever lived. “Maybe more people are trying to dig in and examine their spiritual side,” he suggests, “and maybe as they dig and understand who Jesus is a little more, they realize, ‘Wow, this was his model 2,000 years ago, what have we been doing this whole time?’ ”

Garret Barbush, president and CEO of Men of Iron, a ministry that develops frameworks and resources for a number of different kinds of mentoring relationships joins The Redeemed Man Podcast.
There are plenty of younger men out there looking for advice and mentoring from men with more life experience, Barbush says, and many older men who would jump at the chance to share what they’ve learned with a younger generation. “There’s just this stalemate that’s happening in God’s kingdom right now, and it’s that men just aren’t asking for it,” he explains.

Britt Gusmus, joins The Redeemed Man Podcast. Britt Gusmus, author of the recently released The Oak Tree Source, as well as co-author of The Impact of Influence, released last year. He was also a multi-sport athlete with prospects in Major League Baseball before, as he freely admits, bad choices and a lack of emotional maturity derailed his athletic career. But his spiritual journey taught him that he needed to “evolve” from what the world saw him as into the man God wanted him to be. Now a coach, educator, and speaker, he draws upon his experiences to inspire similar evolutions in men of all ages.

Gary Miracle joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Gary Miracle, a Tampa-area husband and father of four for whom a catastrophic blood infection cost all four of his limbs in early 2020. Yet his first thought upon learning the news wasn’t anger or despair, but rather the wisdom of the Book of Job—”The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.” “I remember thinking that in my life, it was just my taking-away time. I can’t be thankful all my life for the things He’s given me and then be mad at Him for the things He’s taken away,” Miracle says.
Today, armed with a wheelchair and prosthetics, Miracle does everything from household chores to coaching his kids’ sports teams and running two-mile races. And he hopes his story will inspire other people to find hope and healing through Christ. “I just want to preach from the rooftops about God’s grace, how good God is, and how He doesn’t make mistakes.”

Greg Bainter joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Greg Bainter, who struggled for decades with a pornography addiction before finding the courage to confess his secrets to his wife and re-dedicate himself to a godly life. His “recovery” was aided by LiveFree ministries and its accountability app, through which he met other men who had battled similar addictions—and, eventually, younger men whom Greg was able to mentor using his own struggles and experiences.
Today Greg says he lives by three words: authenticity, vulnerability, and integrity. “I tell the guys I mentor, ‘If I slip up, I’m going to share that with you, even though I’m mentoring you. Because if you want to know me, you have to see me authentically, and that means the good and bad and the ugly. I just know that’s how I have to live my life going forward.”

Davey Blackburn, founder of Indianapolis-based Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, joins The Redeemed Man podcast. NIW’s message centers on the idea that even our traumas and tragedies have a higher purpose—“God does not waste an ounce of your pain,” Blackburn says, and his ministry’s mission is to help those who are feeling broken and defeated to discover how God wants us to learn and grow from those major challenges. Through inspirational content and a close-knit community, as well as spirit-centered life coaching, he aims to help those who are hurting “walk through [their] valley well and come out on the other side equipped with a renewed sense of meaning and purpose.”

Scott Smith, who grew up in a troubled household and spent a decade away from the church before being “radically saved” a few years ago. Today, through a number of efforts including his blog Banished from Eden, Smith has made it his mission to help other men find their way out of depression and addiction and back to a meaningful relationship with God. “I have a personal passion for men to be restored to what Christ has called us to be, in our homes, in our churches, and in the world,” he says. “And what He’s called me to do is help restore the strong, bold Christian men that the church needs.”

Carl Thomas joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Carl Thomas, who struggled with a pornography addiction for two decades before “getting free,” becoming an ordained pastor, and founding Live Free ministries to help other men stuck in a similar cycle of addiction.
A nationally certified neuro health coach, Thomas explains that porn is a symptom rather than a disease—“it’s just a thing that people turn to, like alcohol, drugs, overeating, or any number of things.” By focusing less on the shame aspect of addiction and more on the underlying issues that drive men to turn to porn as a distraction or escape, he says Live Free helps them break free of that dependency and gain a greater appreciation for the relationships and God-given blessings that truly make life worth living.

Frank Schwartz joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Frank Schwartz, president of F3 Nation, with the Fs standing for “Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith.” F3 started in Charlotte, N.C., a decade ago simply as a way to provide fellowship opportunities for adult men through free, organized outdoor workouts.
As the workout sessions grew and friendships strengthened, the participants felt more at ease sharing their thoughts, issues, and frustrations. Today, not only do they support each other through difficult times, they combine their leadership talents for philanthropy and community projects. “By putting men on a mission again, the vast majority I believe will find it,” Schwartz says, “and will begin to ask those tough questions: OK, why am I here? What is it that I’m here to do so that I live out the best life I possibly can?” The F3 network currently includes nearly 3,000 separate groups in 40 U.S. states and several countries around the world.

Patrick Tyndall joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Patrick Tyndall, founder of Ironman Outdoors, in which men bond with each other over both hunting and discussion sessions that give them a chance to open up about their deepest fears and insecurities. Particularly for men who are disinclined to attend church regularly in the first place, traditional church environments can be a difficult place to be honest and reveal their true selves—to “drop their camo,” as Tyndall describes it.
But an IO hunting trip, he says, provides an engaging way for men to relax and bond with one another, even if they’re complete strangers. “If you put him in a hunting cabin or a lake house with 12 other men and they’re willing to take their camo off and say, ‘Hey, this is what I’m dealing with,’ then they’ll be more likely to take their camo off too.”

It’s those kinds of people, “strategically placed” in his life, whom Cookingham says helped him find God and strengthen his faith after years of horrific abuse from his father. “God gave me other men in my life to help me deal with the issues of manhood,” he explains. “So I think it’s very strategic of Father God to have a plan for each one of us as a son or a daughter of God and to orchestrate that walk, that path, that journey, to bring us closer to His own heart.”

Trey Etheridge joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Trey Etheridge, a founder of MPACT Ministries in Melbourne, Florida (their tagline: “Discovering grace one man at a time”). When struggling men come to his ministry for help, he often knows firsthand what they’re going through: In 2010, faced with mounting financial troubles and a marriage damaged beyond repair, Etheridge nearly took his own life.
Fortunately, he says, a phone call from a caring friend reminded him of the true meaning of grace—grace he now tries to share with men going through similar crises, even those who are all but convinced they’re beyond saving. “I don’t have all the answers, but this is how Jesus affected me, this is what I understand from the Bible about what it means to believe in Him, and this is how I got there—and I can give that story to somebody,” Etheridge explains. “When a man realizes what the blood of Christ means and grows in the knowledge of what grace truly means, and he realizes how powerful grace is, I think that’s when the light bulbs start going off in his heart.”

Kyle Jackson joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Kyle Jackson, pastor at the Columbus branch of Church of the Highlands. Just as Church of the Highlands is a large organization that tries to offer localized worship and healing through its many locations, Jackson says people shouldn’t look only to their pastors for restoration; ideally, churches would provide small groups where worshippers can feel comfortable to open up and lean on each other for prayer and forgiveness. “We try to be a church of small groups, where people feel they can build trust, so as soon as something happens in their lives they have people they feel like they can turn to,” he says. “Where life-giving relationships are built, good things fall out.”

Bart Scarborough joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Bart Scarborough, founder of Ancient Way Farm, a west Georgia retreat where ministers and other religious leaders can find the peace and quiet needed to experience spiritual growth and renewal. Citing studies indicating that 70 percent of ministry leaders deal with depression and half would leave their jobs if they could, Scarborough says it’s vital for those leaders to examine the “healthy rhythms” of Jesus Himself, who set aside time for solitude and stillness even as he preached to entire nations. “In our culture, we have decided, ‘No, we are limitless, we can just go nonstop,’ ” he explains. “But that’s not how we were designed, and it’s not how Jesus modeled living. We want people to stop and pay attention to Jesus’ life, and then to walk in that path, not run around like a chicken with your head cut off—then you will find rest for your souls.”

Richard Illges joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Richard Illges is an investment advisor with more than three decades of experience in banking and finance. While he’s built a successful career on wise money management, the end goal, he says, should always be how we can use those resources to enrich others throughout God’s kingdom, not merely ourselves. “We think money and status can propel us ‘ahead’ of our Dad or brother or neighbor, and we think we can heal a lot of wounds that way—that we can ‘prove’ our manhood by our success with money,” says Illges, who leads a men’s ministry at Christ Community Church in Columbus, Georgia. “But it is never enough. We don’t end up owning money—it owns us.”

Jim Blanchard joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Jim Blanchard is the former CEO and chair of Synovus Corporation and current chair of JBA Capital. Blanchard has left his distinct mark on the state of Georgia as a business and civic leader, but a true leader, he says, measures his effectiveness not by the number of people he’s made to do his bidding but by whether those people feel supported, empowered, and appreciated. That concept of servant leadership that has guided him in his life and career is applicable to people in all industries and all walks of life, he says, as it brings us closer to the model of the original servant leader—Jesus Christ himself. “In the gospels, Jesus is quoted as saying, ‘I came to serve, not be served,’ ” Blanchard says. “We have seen what self-serving leaders do and the chaos that they can produce, and we have a desperate need for a change in the leadership model toward the kind of servant leadership that was modeled by Jesus during His lifetime and His ministry.”

Dr. Gregory Jones joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Dr. Gregory Jones is the dean of the Duke University Divinity School. Dr. Jones will introduce the concept of “holy friends”—people perceptive and compassionate enough to see through the fictions we’ve constructed around ourselves and help us reach the truth in ways that can change our lives. As he describes it, holy friends are “the people who around us who challenge the sins we’ve come to love, affirm the gifts we’re afraid to claim, and dream dreams we otherwise wouldn’t have dreamed.” And if we can just break free of our isolation and shame long enough to connect with them, they can help us build a closer relationship with God than we might have ever thought possible.

Rev. Michael John Cusick joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Rev. Michael J. Cusick is a licensed therapist and founder of the ministry Restoring the Soul. In his thought-provoking presentation “God, Sex, and the Soul,” he will draw upon his experiences as a minister, a therapist, and someone who has struggled with addiction and infidelity issues himself to show how men can open up about sex and relationship issues without shame. If nothing else, he says, it’s important to remember that Jesus never shamed anyone, not even adulterers or prostitutes. “That makes our hearts free to say, ‘OK, I don’t want to have an affair, because that would take me out of this connection with real love,’” he says. “It would be like being on life support and taking the plug out of the wall—it’s not a punishment from God, it’s a consequence of being disconnected from Him.”

Bart Hansen joins The Redeemed Man podcast. Bart Hansen is a founding board member of the men’s ministry Wild at Heart. In teaching men how to reclaim masculinity from emasculation, false machismo, and “poserism,” Hansen says one of the best things they can do is examine the life of Jesus Himself—a man who was fierce and unapologetic in his opposition to selfishness and hypocrisy, but who was motivated by compassion and a sincere love for His fellow man. “G.K. Chesterton said that the fierceness of a warrior is determined not by the enemy in front of him that he hates, but by what he loves that he is fighting for,” Hansen explains. “And that really does describe the heart of Jesus. The greatest motive we can live for is love, and that’s what Jesus did.”

The speaker of this episode of The Redeemed Man podcast is Reverend Dr. Shane Green, senior minister at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Columbus, Ga. Shane will be speaking about men’s need for validation from certain important figures in their lives and the wrong turns they often take when they don’t receive it—along with how we can better know ourselves and each other through self-reflection and Christ’s love. “Until people really love themselves and become comfortable with who they are, they’re always going to be ‘posing’ or presenting to others what they think will be the most lovable. We live in a society that runs off this projection of what we think others want us to be,” he says. “I hope that people come away from this with a sense that it’s OK if there are things about them that are broken or in need of being whole.”
On our first episode of The Redeemed Man Podcast, Paul Amos, founder of The Redeemed men's ministry, talks with guest Jeff Struecker.
Jeff Struecker is a founding pastor of 2 Cities Church in Columbus, Georgia. Jeff talks about rediscovering our true worth in the context of God’s original purpose for our existence—not an easy thing to do in a world in which we’re constantly told our purpose is acquiring wealth and influence. Refocusing our lives on that purpose, he says, is essential to fixing what’s broken inside us. “Our beauty and value and self-worth have all been terribly distorted, and it was us that distorted it."
