About The Podcast
Not only was quitting drinking only the beginning of Andy Brannum’s spiritual journey, it may have been the easiest part. When Andy (reluctantly) answered the call to ministry, he encountered a whole new set of challenges, from overwork to living with a wife and three kids in a 900-square-foot house. In this week’s podcast, Andy talks with Nate Dewberry about these struggles, times when he challenged God outright, and what it’s all led to—the formation of Thrive, a ministry that works with churches to help them create tailored, relevant men’s ministries of their own.

Healing After Betrayal: Finding Hope and Trusting God Again
Dalton Nunamaker was on a nine-month Army deployment, living in a tent in a field in Poland, when he experienced a crippling one-two emotional punch. First his parents told him they were divorcing over issues of alcoholism and infidelity. Then just a few months later, Dalton discovered his wife of less than a year had been unfaithful while he was overseas.
Replace the Voices with Verses
Of the 10 years Josh Summers spent as a missionary in western China, the last few months were by far the hardest: Twice he was hauled into jail by Chinese police for interrogation, the second of which lasted 17 days. And as he sat alone in a cold, barren holding cell with nothing, not even his Bible, he tried to take inventory of what scripture he could remember by heart—and realized he didn’t have nearly as much of it down as he thought he did.
