The R3 Podcast

What if I told you that all men have the same core desires hardwired into their heart by their creator? Of course, most men couldn’t tell you what those desires are and wouldn't know how to articulate them, let alone tell you how to find fulfillment for them. And if you can’t, then as a man you are buffed it around my opinion and culture – and to put it politely, you don’t really know how to be a man! Masculinity in our day and age has been made confusing and perilous - but it doesn't have to be. In this episode we are going to articulate those core desires of a man’s heart that were given to us by our maker. We’re going to show you how you can find fulfillment for those desires, in partnership with the one who gave them to you in the first place.

Today's episode is an invitation for healing and life in what might be the most broken area of your heart. Perhaps the most important and formative relationship for every human being who has ever lived is with their father. Science continues to confirm what we have instinctively known, that our fathers have a unique ability to either contribute to our overall well-being, or to deliver lasting wounds. For those who were raised by abusive, unpleasable fathers – or just as bad, absent, passive fathers – those heart wounds can be absolutely crippling. But here's the good news… Those wounds can be completely healed! And as if that wasn't good enough, there is an absolutely perfect Father ready and eager to step in with the nurturing, empowering, and healing love that you have always needed. It's not too late to be supernaturally fathered in a way that gives life and strength, no matter how old you are! And in today's episode of The R3 Podcast, we're going to show you how.

Can Jesus give you healing today? We read in the ancient pages of the Bible that Jesus USED TO heal. But does he still heal today? And more importantly, will he heal you? Today we share ONE TRUE STORY that reveals that the answer is YES - Jesus does heal wounds today! What kind of wounds? Well, we say this all the time here at the R3 Podcast: "You don't get through this life without taking some hits." No matter who you are or how hard you try, you can't avoid being wounded in this life. And as you likely know all too well, the emotional wounds, the HEART wounds, are the most painful. And worse, they don't heal over time on their own. - more often than not, they actually fester and grow worse. But today, Marine Sargent Major (ret) Mike Daley tells his TRUE STORY of finding healing from childhood trauma, combat-related PTSD, survivor's guilt betrayal in marriage, and profound grief. And Jesus didn't give him coping skills, or medication, or a 12-step group. JESUS COMPLETELY HEALED HIS LIFE'S WOUNDS!

Sure, we've all had times where we fake it a bit, and try to make ourselves look better than we are. But for those whose heart has been wounded by abuse, trauma, or just the damage of life in a fallen world, a false self develops to help hide and protect. Unfortunately, this defense measure ultimately does more harm that good. This week, lets talk about what we call THE POSE.

We talk a lot on the R3 Podcast about the healing of heart wounds, and the fullness of life that opens up through Jesus. In particular, we have seen thousands of people healed and set free through a program we called the DROP ZONE. This week we talk with Rich Dunn, a campus pastor at Hope Church in South Carolina. He has experienced the Drop Zone in person, online, and as part of a large group event, and shares his incredible perspective on how Jesus shows up to set people free in every one of those formats!

In Episode 5 we shared a life-changing spiritual reality - finding peace through releasing judgement. In today's episode, our guest Devin Christensen takes that lesson even deeper - and along the way paints a thrilling portrait of what it looks like to be taught supernaturally by Holy Spirit!

In this episode we meet Kim and Julie - two women from different worlds, but they have a couple of important things in common. They each were struggling from crippling heart wounds born of childhood abuse, and they each received full healing and restoration when they met The Healer. If you or someone you know still carry wounds from youth, Julie & Kim's stories will give you more than just hope - they point the way to full restoration!

I'm guessing that almost everyone has had a moment where they look around at their life, shake their head, and ask, "Is this it? Is this all there is? Is this as good as it gets?" In this episode, John and Shane tell their personal stories of breaking through that stage of hopeless dissatisfaction to find joy, adventure, and life in all its fullness. And here's the good news - you can too!
