The Redeemed Man

Jason McKenzie’s seemingly perfect life—his own business, an active lifestyle, a loving marriage—was devastated in an instant when his wife Natalie committed suicide in 2011. Though he kept his pain inside for years, he eventually realized just how desperately his experience, wisdom, and compassion were needed at a time when the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic was driving suicide rates sky-high. In this conversation with Paul Amos, Jason touches on grief, patience, and staying faithful through dark times. He also offers powerful advice, learned through experience, for those who have contemplated suicide themselves: Never lose sight of the bigger picture, and always be willing to offer forgiveness—not only to others, but to yourself.

This month’s theme for The Redeemed Man podcast is overcoming tragedy.  Director Nathan Dewberry gives us a short introduction to this topic in this week’s edition. Nate draws lessons from scripture, the examples of his grandmothers who persevered even after losing their spouses, and his own traumatic divorce as he shares his thoughts on how men in crisis can maintain their faith in God even when life has taken a painful turn and rediscover the hope that He offers each of us. Finding strength and reassurance in other people is key—and for those of us who have survived tragedy and thrived, so is providing that reassurance for those in need.

When Steve Trader made the decision in his 40s to retire from a successful career with a global pharmaceutical corporation and go into ministry, he and his wife Barb found themselves tested in their ability to communicate, relate to one another, and deal with adversity. In this edition of The Redeemed Man podcast, Steve and Barb share what they’ve learned about surviving the different “seasons of marriage,” especially the hard ones—everything from career changes and “empty nesting” to divorce and major family tragedies—and managing the difficult transition from one season to the next. Find other couples you can pray with and confide in, they advise, and know when your spouse needs you to listen rather than solving every problem.

Great communicators aren’t born, they’re made—and that goes double for people in relationships, who have to commit to learning more every day about their partners and how best to speak, listen, and relate to them. 

In this podcast, Jon and Teresa “Tree” Demeter cover a wide range of topics including being a more active listener, shutting out distractions, and what it’s been like sharing those lessons with couples in their “Weekend to Remember” marriage retreats. They even offer tips on being “good at fighting”—listening for understanding rather than ammunition, and turning arguments into opportunities for growth and problem-solving, rather than just venting frustration and being “right.”

Disagreement and conflict will eventually be present in every relationship, especially when considerations such as children, careers, and outside activities get involved. But there are ways to handle those disagreements that can actually make your relationship stronger in the long run. In this upbeat, freewheeling episode of The Redeemed Man Podcast, Jeremy Isaacs, pastor of Generations Church in Canton, Georgia, and his wife Corrie, who serves on the church’s creative team, discuss how to handle communication and conflict the right way. They cover everything from deepening one’s relationship with God and learning how to “fight fair” to finding the entertainment value in child-raising—and in each other.

After a successful military career that included the liberation of Baghdad in 2003, Marine infantryman Jeremy Stalnecker struggled to find an identity or meaning outside of his military career—and his relationships suffered as a result. But after meeting with fellow vets 10 years later, he realized God had found him a purpose helping hurting veterans through the Mighty Oaks Foundation. 

In this podcast, Jeremy talks with Paul Amos about losing one’s identity, regaining it, and finding a life beyond our most traumatic experiences. Trauma may be an indelible part of our past, he explains, but finding purpose and direction in Christ can keep it from controlling us.

When tragedy strikes, how do we acknowledge our sense of loss and honor our need to grieve while still moving forward in life? Church of the Highlands’ Brandon Bailey had to figure this out in real time after he and his wife lost a pregnancy, but he found that God still had a plan for him, even if it wasn’t the same as the plan he’d made for himself. In this conversation with Nathan Dewberry, Brandon talks about bouncing back from tragedy and the unexpected way he and his wife were able to grow their family, as well as his ministry work in prisons, self-improvement, and more.

The Redeemed Man podcast is joined by Kenny Luck, founder of Every Man Ministries, a church-to-church men’s ministry that provides tools and resources for men to achieve “spiritual maturity."  The key to finding it, he says, is to stop letting one’s purpose be determined by other people or the surrounding culture, and to focus less on the question of “Am I influential in the world?” and more on “What kind of influence am I having?” And by looking deeper, honestly assessing our emotions, and turning to God for direction, we can unlock the mystery of who we are and what we were put on earth to do.
