    Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It, with Micah Davis

    Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation. Now a pastor and writer based in Indianapolis, Micah has determined that forgiveness, for all its complexity and messiness, is worth it—and he’s expounded on that topic in several books, as well as this week’s episode of The Redeemed Man. Micah and Nate Dewberry unpack the calculus of forgiveness and how admitting our pain is a necessary step in the process; they also discuss the lessons Scripture offers in healing from hurtful words, the challenges of leadership, and how fatherhood can upend the things we think we know about ourselves. Nearly every man, regardless of their age or background, will find something they can relate to in Micah’s life experience—and find wisdom in his insights. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/The negative words that stuck with Micah for many years 4:27 Hearing the Holy Spirit after a season of depression and disillusionment 9:41 How we can heal the wounds that hurtful words inflict 17:20 Micah looks back on the past 10 years since returning to the church 23:16 How Micah’s perspective has changed since becoming a dad 28:26 Thoughts on forgiveness, and why Micah wrote a book about it 36:10 We can’t forgive until we’re willing to honestly express our pain 43:11 Balancing leadership responsibilities with the need for human connection Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    Jason Romano: From ESPN to a Leap of Faith

    For 17 years Jason Romano had what many American men would consider a dream job: working at ESPN producing shows ranging from College Gameday to Monday Night Football broadcasts. So why did he leave it behind to make less money at a startup podcast? For Jason, it was simple: he realized he was drawing too much of his identity from work and not enough from Christ.  Now the host and producer of the “Sports Spectrum” podcast, Jason talks with Nate Dewberry this week about that life change, as well as what started him on a path to discipleship that, nearly two decades later, is ongoing. He offers important advice for men struggling to discuss their faith with family members, as well as people in danger of letting their spiritual path be dictated by strangers online. And yes, there’s some sports talk as well—including inspiring examples of discipleship from this year’s World Cup and Jason’s story of how he built a Christ-centered friendship with one of his childhood baseball idols. Segments/chapters 0:00 Jason’s dream job at ESPN 5:38 Why he decided to take a new path 11:35 The family member who helped turn Jason to Christ 19:29 The challenges, and the urgency, of sharing our faith 24:52 Spiritual transformation needs to be an ongoing process 30:58 Don’t let yourself be discipled by strangers online 34:51 Good examples of discipleship from the soccer world 42:06 Jason’s favorite athlete and most vivid sporting memories 48:54 Sports Spectrum and Jason’s published books Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    Who’s Informing You—and Forming You? with Terry Parkman

    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. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/What is missiology? 4:06 “What informs us forms us” 9:53 Terry’s thoughts on what’s ahead for the church and how to adapt 15:31 Generational changes in what people expect from the church and from culture 22:35 When the things that are supposed to make us better end up shackling us 27:39 Self-doubt and the spiritual disciplines for overcoming it 35:44 Toward a more meaningful prayer life 41:25 Closing thoughts: hopes and fears Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    Are We Praying for God’s Will, or Our Own?

    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. Segments/chapters 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 16:58 The importance of vulnerability and authenticity in our prayer lives 24:28 Are you praying for God to change the world, or change you? 30:24 How The Redeemed can help facilitate more fulfilling prayer experiences 36:40 The duality of our relationship with God 38:30 A closing prayer, with the Lord’s Prayer as our guide Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    “I Didn’t Find Him, He Found Me”, with Nebiye Kelile

    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. Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro 1:44 Neb’s childhood and troubled teenage years 7:28 The prodigal son returns home 17:38 Rediscovering a Christ-centered life 23:03 Neb’s advice for men rediscovering their faith 31:16 Uncoupling our relationship with God from the “father wounds” we’ve suffered 37:06 The most common obstacles to a satisfying prayer life 41:09 Neb’s reflections on fatherhood 46:04 Neb talks about his church, ministry, and podcast 53:22 Closing thoughts and encouragement for men seeking Christ Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    From Maximum Security to the Mayor’s Office with Jermaine Wilson

    Be Humble, Be Disciplined, Be Proficient, with Jordan Ames

    Whatever else you can say about life in the military, there’s always a clearly defined purpose. So says Jordan Ames, who retired four years ago from the Marine Corps—and, for the first time in more than two decades, had to find a new purpose of his own. Now a Christ-centered leadership trainer and published author, Jordan shares the path that led to that purpose in this week’s episode, and talks with Nate Dewberry about his core principles of leadership, how to keep from letting details and distractions divert you from doing God’s work, and the unusual path that led him to marriage and six adopted kids—plus a “Miracle Number Seven.” Segments/chapters 0:00 Intro/What does redemption mean to you? 1:31 Finding a new purpose after 21 years in the Marines 6:56 Leadership principles from the military that Jordan still carries with him 10:01 The most difficult season of Jordan’s civilian life 17:54 How Jordan’s book of devotionals came together 24:58 Three core principles Jordan wants his readers to remember 33:58 The worries and preoccupations that keep us from acting on God’s vision 44:40 Jordan’s unconventional path to marriage and seven kids 54:44 “The radical story of Number Seven” Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.

    Fishing for Men in a Whole New Way, with Michael Rutherford

    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. Segments/chapters 0:00 Who Michael was before his “radical encounter” of redemption 4:04 The effects of Michael’s spiritual transformation 7:23 Giving up control and “rejoicing in the wait” 13:05 What embracing the Lord has taught Michael to live without 22:26 The values and disciplines that keep Michael on the right path 28:58 What Michael feels like Jesus is using him to do 35:40 The dreams and vision Michael is pursuing now Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.
