We Do Real is a pastoral conversation podcast from Centerpoint Church in Gorham, Maine. Each episode, Pastor Ben Thornton sits down with someone from the congregation and lets them tell their story: unscripted, unfiltered, and unrushed. No celebrity guests. No highlight reels. Just real people with real faith and real roads that didn't always go straight. The show exists because the best conversations Ben has happen in his office, and he got tired of keeping them to himself. So we hit record and started letting people listen in. Real stories. Real faith. Real people. We Do Real.

    Faith Built in Hard, Unglamorous Places

    Identity, Calling, and What God Does With a Life: Ben Graffius has worked oil rigs, handled weapons systems, and captained a high-speed ferry across Casco Bay. His life has taken him places most people never go, and into work where most people would never think to look for God. In this episode, Ben talks about what it means to build an identity in the unglamorous corners of life, where faith showed up in the middle of all of it, and what it looks like to carry his story into his role as a husband, father, and deacon at Centerpoint.

    What Sobriety Actually Looks Like

    Identity, Calling, and What God Does With a Life: Chris Grant had a Division I baseball career, a road that went sideways, and years of addiction before he found his footing. Today he runs Dirigo Sober Living in Portland, Maine, walking alongside men fighting the same battles he once fought. In this episode, Chris tells the real version of his story, not the highlight reel, and talks honestly about what sobriety looks like day to day, the wife who stayed, and the faith that finally became a foundation instead of a fallback.

    From the Field to the Boardroom to the Church

    Identity, Calling, and What God Does With a Life: Kendrick Ballantyne grew up in Gorham, Maine, played Division I football, and spent time on the Baltimore Ravens roster, then watched the identity he'd built around athletics quietly dissolve. In this first-ever episode of We Do Real, Kendrick unpacks what it took to go from self-consumed competitor to husband, father, business leader, and deacon. A conversation about identity death, the emptiness of arrival, and what it actually looks like when God builds a man back up.
