About The Podcast

During his days in the Navy, Charlie Watkins’ best friend was a surgeon who was great with patients, always stayed in shape, and maintained a smile on his face even in the high-stress environment of a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser. One day Charlie asked his friend, “Jim, you’ve got to tell me what you’ve got!”—and was invited to a Bible study session that forever changed his life. Today, as a successful businessman and Christian leader, Charlie is the one other men are coming to for inspiration and advice on issues ranging from deep-seated family wounds to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. He relates what he’s learned over the course of his fascinating life in his new book, Throw No Rocks—and discusses those lessons in a deep, rewarding conversation with Nate Dewberry in this week’s edition of The Redeemed Man.
