About The Podcast
Herman Ivey is overseeing a growing and important ministry in Columbus, Georgia. But he’s also dealt with his share of struggle and disappointment, from divorce to homelessness. This week Herman talks with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry about the ups and downs of his life and what he’s learned from it all—particularly the need to be obedient to God, and to not talk so much that you can’t hear what God is saying back. He also talks about Right from the Start, the Columbus ministry where he’s overseeing an effort to use mentorship to combat the epidemic of fatherlessness and all the social problems that can result.

He asked God for a new path and a new opportunity, but when God asked him, “Do you believe I can give them to you?” he realized the answer was “No.” Or perhaps more accurately, “Not yet.”
The Freedom That Comes with Obeying God
Let’s face it, obedience isn’t a fun topic for most of us. Between an American ethos that prizes individualism and innovation, a culture that pushes indulgence, and a natural human desire to be free from control, we don’t like to feel compelled to follow anyone else’s rules. So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It
Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.
