In this episode, Scott and Deb share a very real, very recent experience from sacrament meeting—realizing that life had gotten “a little too horizontal.” Between family worries, recovery relationships, expectations, holiday pressure, and performance mentality, Scott found himself giving everyone his attention except the One who can actually heal him.

Using the imagery of the cross—horizontal beam for our relationships with others and vertical post for our relationship with Deity—they explore what it really means to “strengthen the vertical.” They talk about John 15’s invitation to abide in Christ, Doctrine and Covenants 6’s call to “look unto [Him] in every thought,” the AA journey of surrender, and Deb’s powerful campfire story about giving Christ what we most want to hide.

If you’re feeling stretched, noisy inside, or spiritually “untethered,” this conversation is an invitation to stop trying to achieve Jesus and instead learn how to receive Him—especially in the middle of the Christmas crazies.

ometimes the noise of life makes it hard to notice anything good… until we pause long enough to see it. This week, Deb and I sat still for a moment — and in that pause, we found gratitude we didn’t expect.

Gratitude for healing in our family. Gratitude for a calmer heart. Gratitude for the Savior who walks with us through every effect of the Fall.

And if your pause feels heavy this year — if you feel lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure where you fit — hear this:

You are not forgotten. You are not failing. You are not alone.

Start with one blessing. Just one. That’s where gratitude begins.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb explore the deep, often difficult work of forgiveness—the kind that doesn’t come easily, isn’t always reciprocated, and sometimes feels impossible. Building on last week’s interview with Nick and Crystal, they walk through real stories of heartache, betrayal, and miraculous healing, including a moving retelling of Corrie ten Boom’s powerful encounter with a former prison guard. Together, Scott and Deb discuss what forgiveness is not, how Christ carries the emotional weight we cannot lift, and why true forgiveness frees our hearts long before it changes anyone else’s. Tune in for hope, honesty, and the Savior’s power made personal.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb sit down with Nick and Crystal to share a story that honestly should not have worked out—at least not on paper. Nick grew up in “Happy Valley, UT” served in the Church, and still spiraled into years of addiction and alcoholism that tore his family apart and ended in divorce. Crystal was left to pick up the pieces: raising kids, going back to school, working any job she could find, and learning how to breathe again while feeling like she was drowning. Nick, meanwhile, sank so deep into addiction that he fully expected to die or end up in prison. Then God stepped into both of their stories—through detox, The Other Side Academy, AA, the big book, the Divine Gift of Forgiveness, and a new, personal relationship with Jesus Christ that had nothing to do with box-checking and everything to do with grace.

Seven years after their divorce, against every earthly odd, Nick and Crystal are remarried—and they are painfully honest about what it took to get there: surrender, gut-level honesty, daily reliance on Jesus Christ, and a long, messy process of forgiveness that even included welcoming another child from Nick’s “wreckage” into Crystal’s circle of love. They talk about what it feels like to be the addicted spouse and what it feels like to be the betrayed one trying to survive, pay the bills, and not poison the kids against their dad. Crystal shares how God taught her to “quit swimming” and trust Him in the dark, and Nick testifies that the best place to start is when “the fight has been beat out of you.” If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late, too broken, or too far gone—whether you’re the one in addiction or the one trying to hold everything together—this conversation will whisper to your soul: you are not alone, and Jesus is willing to get His hands dirty in your story too.

In this deeply personal and hope-filled episode, Scott and Deb open up about Scott’s 27-year journey of sobriety and redemption through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. With honesty and humility, Scott shares how grace has replaced guilt, how surrender became strength, and how faith has transformed recovery into a daily walk with the Savior. Together, Scott and Deb explore the power of hope, the beauty of second chances, and the truth that no one is beyond Christ’s reach. Whether you’re facing addiction, shame, or simply seeking renewed peace, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—one day, one prayer, one act of faith at a time.

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Deb open their hearts about grief, grace, and the Savior’s power to turn even the hardest parts of our story into something holy. Deb shares the sacred experience behind “Grammy Day” — a personal journey from sorrow to celebration that began with placing a child for adoption at 17. Together, they reflect on how the Savior gives “beauty for ashes” (Isaiah 61:3) and strength in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Scott weaves in the doctrine of enabling and strengthening grace, reminding listeners that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is not only redemptive but transformative. Through scriptures like Ether 12:27, Alma 7:11–13, and John 14:27, they testify that the Savior meets us in our brokenness — not after we’ve cleaned it up.

This is a story of redemption, of turning grief into gratitude, and of finding peace that the world cannot give. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can make something beautiful out of your pain, this conversation is for you.

In this powerful replay from Season 1, we revisit an unforgettable conversation with Nate Moller—a story of deep pain, divine intervention, and the healing power of Jesus Christ.

Nate opens up about his troubled youth, addiction, loss, and the night he nearly ended his life—until a single, sacred moment changed everything. Through Ether 12:27 and the Savior’s mercy, Nate discovered what it truly means to turn around—to repent, to hope, and to be made whole.

As the world reels from heartbreak and uncertainty, this episode reminds us that the Savior still calms stormy seas—both around us and within us.

Originally released in July 2022, this Season 1 interview continues to uplift hearts and strengthen faith.

Life gets messy—shoulder surgeries, fear, uncertainty, and the weight of a fallen world. But what if repentance isn’t about indictment and guilt, but about relationship and invitation?

In this week’s conversation, Scott and Deb open up about struggles, discouragement, and the relentless tug-of-war between despair and hope. Through scripture, personal stories, and Elder Holland’s powerful reminder that we are never beyond the reach of divine love, they explore how repentance is less about shame and more about turning—turning toward Jesus Christ, who meets us in the middle of our mess.

Whether you’ve misunderstood repentance in the past or you’re longing for peace in tumultuous times, this episode offers a refreshing and hope-filled perspective on what it really means to come unto Christ.

Faith is rarely neat. It doesn’t always look like steady confidence—it often looks like wrestling, doubt, and raw honesty before God.

In this episode, Scott and Deb share their personal journey of taking inventory, facing triggers, and discovering how faith grows in real life—not in perfection, but in brokenness. With stories of recovery, family miracles, and scripture study that cut straight to the heart, they explore the question: How do we find faith when it feels impossible?

This conversation is vulnerable, practical, and full of hope—a reminder that Christ meets us right where we are, even in the middle of our struggle.
