    What We Don’t Understand About Homelessness, with Tensley Almand

    As president and CEO of Atlanta Mission, a shelter for people experiencing homelessness in Atlanta, Tensley Almand has gained firsthand perspective on why people find themselves without shelter and what we can do to help them secure stable lives and careers.

    Just Because You’re Tired Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed, with Zach Meerkreebs

    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.

    Be Humble, Be Present, and Don’t Be Peter Pan with Luke Lezon

    Luke Lezon’s ministry path hasn’t followed a straight line. Fresh out of college, he received several unique preaching opportunities – only to watch them quickly disappear.  Later, in the wake of a painful church split in Orlando, Luke was thrust into the lead pastor role at just twenty-nine years old.

    What God Has Been Building Among Us

    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.
