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.

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.
Finding the Strength to Persevere
This week, The Redeemed founder Paul Amos and director Nate Dewberry offer thoughts on the topic of perseverance: How do we do it? Why do we do it? And how do our struggles make us stronger, better people?
