THE Podcaster Nation

Our guest today, in his own words… “My name is Eric Stephens — I’m an ordained Pastor, Elder, Life Coach, Podcast Host, and Founder of Redwood Christian Ministries.

I grew up feeling like I wasn’t accepted or good enough until I encountered the love, acceptance, and saving power of Jesus Christ in 2010. That moment changed everything.

Today, my passion is to help others not only come alive in Christ but also live fully for Him. I openly share my testimony of addiction, depression, and a suicide attempt to show just how far God’s grace can reach — and how deeply Jesus loves us all.

Through Redwood Christian Ministries, our motto is simple: “We see a need, we fill a need — to show the love of Jesus to our community.” We live that out through The Rooted in Christ Podcast, life coaching, guest speaking, and mission trips that bring hope to those who need it most.

Shaun C. Dawson is a husband, father of two, and tech leader who—like many dads—is figuring out what it really means to raise boys in today’s world. In his own words, "I’m on a mission to help parents raise boys into men of strength, character, and emotional resilience — because I believe the future of our families and communities depends on the kind of men we raise today."  For him, this podcast is about starting the conversations parents need, asking better questions, and seeking wisdom from those who’ve walked the road before us. Together with listeners, he explores big themes like character, emotional resilience, digital life, and the modern challenges facing boys today.

Mark Osborne is the host of The Valiant Forge, a podcast created for Christian men who want to grow in their faith through honest, grounded conversation. His work centers on biblical masculinity, spiritual leadership, and the quiet battles men often fight alone.  Mark’s story includes a late-life wake-up call marked by a health scare, depression, and a season of spiritual dryness that led to a renewed faith and restored marriage. That season reshaped how he understands manhood, obedience, and what it means to lead with humility and courage.

Our guest, in her own words… “I’m Jordan Blair, the podcast producer at Buzzsprout and co-host of Buzzcast, where we break down what’s happening in podcasting and translate it into practical, creator-friendly advice.

I’ve been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don’t have a big team.

I’ve spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf’s “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.”

Limor Bergman, in her own words:  "I’m a former Director of Engineering with 20+ years in tech and the host of the podcast From a Woman to a Leader, where I spotlight real leadership journeys and the skills women need to grow into executive impact.  I’ve led engineering organizations across continents, scaled teams, and navigated the shift from hands-on execution to strategic leadership. Today, I coach ambitious women in tech into leadership roles and speak at global conferences about leadership growth, influence, and visibility.  I recently spoke at LeadDev and CTO Craft Con, sharing practical frameworks on moving from strong technical leader to strategic, high-impact leader.  My work blends real-world engineering leadership experience with modern leadership development. I don’t teach theory. I teach what actually works inside fast-growing, complex organizations."
