FirstAdam: A Transparent Podcast for Men

Have you ever felt blindsided? You're living your life and then all of a sudden out of know where something hits you and changes everything. How many of us can relate to the unexpected? Sometimes the unexpected is good, but many times it brings difficulties. Join us as we talk openly about times we have been blindsided by life's challenges. Hits we wish didn't happen or struggle to deal with. And those times when God knocks you off your path and leads you on a better journey.

Small Steps = Big Faith. But what happens when those steps are not always successful? What happens when you take steps of faith and fail? Or when the steps of faith you have to climb are hard and hurtful? How do you trust God then? Join us as we talk to a guy who understands that finding faith in God is not always easy and that sometimes the journey is rough. Sometimes the journey causes you to lose everything and hurts the ones you love. Listen into a conversation about finding faith through difficulties.

Have you ever felt unwanted or rejected? I think we all can relate to some extent. But what if you were really unwanted? How would you feel if your mom went to the store when you were young and never came back? Could you forgive her? Could you forgive God? Join us as we talk to a man who because of God has defied all odds. His story is honest and real. His hurt was deep, but his God was healing. Listen in on the story of an orphan who found his home.

CAMPER: A person who finds a corner and just sits there waiting for a target to come to them. It’s considered a newbie strategy because while you’ll die a lot less, you’ll rarely get a big score because you are just waiting for someone to walk into your immediate vicinity. Men are not meant to be campers. We are meant to take new ground. Join us for an honest talk about why we "camp" in life.

WTF God? What is going on? Part 2 of Will Miller's story. Last week Will shared about when his life was turned upside down by the birth of his beautiful daughter. She was born with major birth defects and required over 20 surgeries in the first years of her life. Not what Will was planning for, and not what he expected from God. Maybe you are in the struggle and not seeing the blessing. Maybe you're living a life different then you thought. Join us as we continue the discussion and how God turns struggle into blessing.

WTF God? What is going on? I think we all have said that. Join us as we talk with a guy who had his life changed in an instant with no warning. It left him questioning what God was doing. Did God even care? Was God even listening? Sometimes in life our plans get wrecked and we are left wondering WTF God. Listen in to Part 1.

Men Die First. Not a great thought, but it is what is asked of a leader. In any battle, the leader heads into danger first. They take the first bullets. They go in front when others are afraid, why because the leader knows the mission. And because the leader knows the mission, the leader gets to die first. In this episode, we discuss what it means to lead your family and to die first. Somedays that hard and we don't feel equipped, strong, or even want to. Join us as we discuss honestly our struggle to "die first".

Every man blows it. We fail. Somewhere in our soul, we think there is no way to come back from this massive failure. My identity will always be scarred by my past mistakes and decisions. On this episode of FirstAdam we talk to our friend Hal Nevitt. He understands what it is like to fail. He went from Cop to Criminal. His story should be a movie. Listen as he tells his story and how redemption is possible.

An introduction to FirstAdam. Why we are creating this podcast. Adam was the first man, everything comes from that. Every blessing and every problem men face originated with the first Adam. We see Adam abdicate the authority that God gave him. No different than what is happening in our culture today. Men are hiding just like Adam did in the garden when confronted with identity.

We have settled instead for toxic masculinity, shame, loneliness, and blame. The same things Adam settled for. Join us as we talk openly about our struggles, our hiding, and how God truly sees us.
