Undone Redone

Sarah Siegand joins Tray and Mel for episode #108 to discuss online digital safety and Parents Who Fight, an organization she runs with her husband Jesse.

Parents Who Fight is a place parents can get connected to other parents and organizations who are proactively engaged in the battle for this generation. Sarah is a contributor to Undone Redone's MySecureFamily.com and provides great insight on this episode from her own experience. You can connect with Sarah via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Author Erik Guzman joins Tray and Melody for episode 107 and talks about how we often commodify our experiences instead of allowing ourselves to live fully present in the moment. He is the author of The Gift of Addiction, a book that dives into the healing elements of pain in our lives, and also The Seed: A True Myth that has just been released. Contact Erik on Facebook and Twitter and read his writing at KeyLife.org.

William Paul Young, author of the bestselling book, The Shack, joins Tray and Melody on episode 106 to share his story of abuse, addiction, and finding God in the middle of his pain. Much has been written and debated among Christians about Young's depiction of God in The Shack, but this interview allows the listener to 'walk a mile in his shoes', so to speak. Paul doesn't mince words about his own sexual abuse as a child as well as his painful journey to discover himself and the true heart of God.

Episode 105 of the podcast features filmmaker Jason Pamer, producer of the upcoming film The Heart of Man that hits theaters later this Spring. The Heart of Man is a feature-length film that dramatically retells the timeless story of the prodigal son along with provocative interviews with thought-leaders on the subjects of brokenness, identity, and grace.

In this interview, Jason shares how he got into filmmaking, his approach to the creative process, and his commitment to excellence in capturing stories on film.

Author, blogger, and speaker Carey Scott joins Tray and Mel on episode 104 to discuss her book Untangled: Let God Loosen the Knots of Insecurity in Your Life and the problems that arise when we try to get our value and worth from anything apart from God.

In this fun, heart-felt interview, Carey Scott affirms that we are accepted, loved, beautiful, and treasured and gives practical strategies for escaping performance-based living.

Author Grace Thornton joins Tray and Mel for Episode 103 of the podcast to discuss relationship expectations and the 'happily ever-after' that often doesn't turn out the way we had planned.

In her book, "I Don't Wait Anymore: Letting Go of Expectations and Grasping God's Adventure for You", Thornton describes her wrestling match with God after discovering that He was not providing her with the husband and 2.5 kids like she anticipated. Along the way, she found that the story He was writing was better than the one she had planned for herself.

As we celebrate Valentine's Day, this honest discussion is a great reminder to all of us to keep our relationships in proper perspective.

It is hard to believe that it has been four years since we launched the Undone Redone podcast! A big 'thank you' to all of our listeners! You guys make this journey so much fun!

In episode #2 of the show, way back in February of 2013, we talked about the pros and cons of Valentine's Day and we want to revisit that theme here on episode #102.

With all of the fun and excitement that Valentine's Day can bring, it can also provide a tremendous amount of unspoken expectations and pressures that can lead to problems in a relationship. In this episode, Tray and Mel talk love languages, being a student of your spouse, and being a 'year-round' Valentine.

Episode 101 of the Undone Redone podcast features an insightful discussion with Kimm Crandall, author of Christ in the Chaos and Beloved Mess: God's Perfect Love for Your Imperfect Life. In this interview, Kimm shares her own journey from performing for God's approval to resting in his wonderfully scandalous grace. Kimm writes regularly at www.kimmcrandall.com, an online respite that she describes as "a safe place for sinners who long for relatable, gospel-saturated, grace-washed articles and resources. We hope that this conversation with Kimm will help you find Christ in your chaos and God's unconditional love in the midst of your mess. Remember...Life is Messy. Bring Your Boots!

Author, speaker, podcast host, seminary professor, and all around great guy, Steve Brown, joins Tray and Mel for the 100th episode of the Undone Redone podcast to discuss the scandal of grace, 3 free sins, Luther's invitation to "sin boldly", and the Coming Back Stronger Men's Conference. In his own refreshing style that blends orthodoxy and controversy, humor and profundity, Dr. Brown points out why it is so difficult for the human heart to accept the freedom offered to us by the Gospel and the ways we try to hide who we really are.

David Zahl, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird blog and one of the speakers for the upcoming Coming Back Stronger Men's Conference (www.comingbackstronger.com) being held in Birmingham January 27 -28, joins Tray and Mel on episode 99 for a frank discussion about grace, rock-n-roll, ministering to folks burned by church, and the pressure put on men to always be strong.

David's unassuming, laid-back style is refreshing and his ability to communicate the Gospel of grace is second-to-none.
