About The Podcast
With all the distractions presented by the media, popular culture, and the online world, it can be hard to carve out time and space to block out the outside world and just be with God. This week’s episode of The Redeemed Man contains some worthwhile advice on how to do it—and ironically enough, it comes from someone in the entertainment industry: Tracy Campbell, a Georgia native who’s now a writer, actor, and director in southern California. Despite the widely held stereotype that the entertainment world is incompatible with a meaningful spiritual life, Tracy shares how he’s managed to stay true to himself and to God despite the temptations of both Hollywood and the single life. He also offers insightful thoughts into having patience and maintaining one’s faith even in the midst of tragedy and heartache.

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.

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.
