    When You Can't Fix It: Choosing Hope Anyway

    What do you do when the problem in front of you is one you can't fix? In 2008, Jay Wolf was finishing law school, raising a six-month-old son with his wife, Katherine, and imagining the life they were about to build together. Then, without warning, Katherine suffered a catastrophic brainstem stroke. Doctors didn't expect her to survive. She did, but the life Jay and Katherine had planned was gone. In this conversation with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry, Jay shares what nearly two decades of walking through suffering, disability, marriage, fatherhood, and ministry have taught him about the kind of hope that survives when circumstances don't change the way we want them to. Jay talks candidly about a struggle many men know well: we want to fix things. But what happens when we can't? What happens when strength looks less like solving the problem and more like allowing other people to carry us? And how do we keep disappointment from hardening our hearts? Jay and Nate explore the power of Christian community, the unexpected treasures hidden in dark seasons, and why the hardest chapters of our lives don't have to be wasted. Hope isn't pretending everything will turn out the way we planned. As Jay puts it, hope is “believing in advance what only makes sense in reverse.” Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/Jay’s wife’s traumatic health event 5:56 “A miraculous rebirth” 12:07 Where Jay and his family stood at the time of his wife’s stroke 16:11 How Jay was changed by the experience 21:03 Interlude 1/Small group promo 21:27 The “treasures” Jay and his wife discovered in their time of challenge 29:02 Men’s reluctance to accept help in times of struggle 36:30 How Jay and his wife are using their story to help others 44:50 Reflections on the “miracle” of parenthood 48:11 Interlude 2/Online group promo 48:35 What Jay has learned about hope Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.

    Why Getting Outside Is Good for Your Faith

    What happens when we get outside, slow down, and pay attention to the world God made?

Brendan has been a divinity student, church planter, marketing agency leader, and poultry farmer. Today, he serves as church engagement manager for Plant With Purpose. In this episode of The Redeemed Man, Brendan joins Nate Dewberry to talk about his faith journey, finding purpose, and why caring for creation doesn’t have to be a political issue.

    Healing After Betrayal: Finding Hope and Trusting God Again

    Dalton Nunamaker was on a nine-month Army deployment, living in a tent in a field in Poland, when he experienced a crippling one-two emotional punch. First his parents told him they were divorcing over issues of alcoholism and infidelity. Then just a few months later, Dalton discovered his wife of less than a year had been unfaithful while he was overseas. Dalton admits that, as he dealt with the trauma of those betrayals, he’d “given up on [God’s] goodness.” But finding community with The Redeemed, and hearing other men tell their own stories of recovery from betrayal, helped him see that his pain wasn’t pointless. Dalton relates his story to Paul Amos in this week’s episode, offering advice for men as they struggle with their own emotional low points and try to rebuild trust both in other people and in God. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/Dalton’s upbringing and military career 5:32 Dalton’s faith background 10:53 How personal struggles helped Dalton find The Redeemed 15:26 When we’re betrayed by the people closest to us 19:25 Interlude 1/small group promo 19:49 Finding redemption in community 24:02 Learning to regain trust in relationships 28:10 Dalton’s advice for men emerging from deep emotional trauma 32:37 Interlude 2/online group promo 33:01 Closing thoughts Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.

    Replace the Voices with Verses

    Of the 10 years Josh Summers spent as a missionary in western China, the last few months were by far the hardest: Twice he was hauled into jail by Chinese police for interrogation, the second of which lasted 17 days. And as he sat alone in a cold, barren holding cell with nothing, not even his Bible, he tried to take inventory of what scripture he could remember by heart—and realized he didn’t have nearly as much of it down as he thought he did. When Josh and his family finally returned to the United States, he vowed he would always have the entire Bible at the ready. That started him on a new mission: to memorize the entire Bible, a mission he talks about with Nate Dewberry in this week’s episode. It’s about much more than just mastering Biblical trivia, Josh says—it’s about using scripture to replace the voices of negativity and self-doubt that we all hear sometimes, and achieving a deeper, more satisfying understanding of the love God has for each of us.

    Finding the Strength to Persevere

    This week, The Redeemed founder Paul Amos and director Nate Dewberry offer thoughts on the topic of perseverance: How do we do it? Why do we do it? And how do our struggles make us stronger, better people? When Jesus tells the crowd, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light,” many of us misinterpret that to mean that everything becomes easier when we start following Jesus. While that’s not the case, God does provide the strength to persevere through our challenges, and someone who shoulders our burdens when life becomes too much to bear. We hope this week’s episode shows you a new perspective on the struggles you’ve encountered in your life, and thoughtful guidance for managing those yet to come. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro 1:43 God can be counted on to reward perseverance with victory 4:49 The longer we have to persevere, the more it means in the end 9:14 Dealing with discomfort and hardship as disciples 13:25 It’s not about things being “easy”—it’s about letting God take control 16:34 How community helps us persevere 19:25 Interlude/small group promo 19:49 Putting our challenges and crises in perspective 24:34 Balancing accountability with encouragement 29:44 Closing thoughts on the gospel of John Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.

    Porn, Shame, and the Path to Freedom

    Jordan Castille was a skinny kid who was good at gymnastics and a member of his high school’s cheerleading squad—something it wasn’t easy to be in Texas in the late ’90s. The bullying he experienced, combined with some flawed family relationships, drove him to fill the void with pornography. It was only in college that Jordan came to terms with the damage his addiction was causing and sought help from the Lord. Now happily married with three children, Jordan is a certified Christian counselor who draws on his own experience to coach other men out of a whole host of unhealthy sexual behaviors – including pornography. This week, Redeemed director Nate Dewberry sits down with Jordan to unpack porn addiction – from the brokenness that spawns it to the communities that can help men get “sober”. They discuss dealing with the anger and betrayal a partner might feel when a porn fixation is revealed, as well as how to make peace with the parts of ourselves that once inspired shame. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/Jordan’s story 2:43 The roots of Jordan’s brokenness 6:35 When we try but fail to overcome sin and brokenness 15:15 The family issues that can push men toward negative sexual behavior 21:02 What does it mean to be “sober” from porn addiction? 26:07 Dealing with a spouse’s feelings of shock or betrayal 34:06 Making peace with the things we were bullied for 40:06 Closing thoughts for men who are growing hopeless Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.

    Having Hard Conversations with God—and Each Other, with Nigel Darius

    His 30th birthday was just around the corner, and Nigel Darius was at a crossroads. He felt like he’d worked hard and done the right things in his twenties, but he didn’t have anything to show for it. He asked God for a new path and a new opportunity, but when God asked him, “Do you believe I can give them to you?” he realized the answer was “No.” Or perhaps more accurately, “Not yet.” From the turmoil of that challenging year, Nigel built a new, stronger relationship with God, and learned lessons about faith, independence, creativity, and community that he shares with Nate Dewberry in this week’s episode of The Redeemed Man. Nigel offers insight into how men can express themselves honestly and broach challenging conversations without driving other people away; he also warns of the dangers of “hyperindependence,” stressing that no matter how independent we want to feel, we’ll always need the wisdom, support, and companionship of others. It’s an episode full of thought-provoking questions you’ll want to share with the important people in your life. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/Nigel’s year of spiritual struggle 6:49 Why we have to be willing to question our faith 11:48 No matter how independent we want to feel, we still need others 19:05 Embracing “the discomfort of vulnerability” 24:22 What Nigel is grateful for—and what he’s still waiting for 30:01 The challenges men face in embracing their creative sides 35:39 Expressing ourselves in a way that uplifts our neighbors 42:40 The need to understand the context—and the audience Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.
