About The Podcast
As a child, Chris Shinnick remembers, he was uncommonly blessed to have two parents who were authentic and consistent as role models for a faithful life. Today, as a father of three and pastor of Manna Church West Florida in Niceville, Fla., he has the blessing—and bears the burden—of presenting a similarly godly example for both his family and his congregation. In conversation with Nate Dewberry, Chris talks about the importance of letting children find their own answers to questions of faith, as well as being a parenting “team” with his wife, the lessons they learned from losing an infant child, and putting grace and repentance before shame and condemnation.

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?
Porn, Shame, and the Path to Freedom
Jordan Castille was a skinny kid who was good at gymnastics and a member of his high school’s cheerleading squad—something it wasn’t easy to be in Texas in the late ’90s. The bullying he experienced, combined with some flawed family relationships, drove him to fill the void with pornography. It was only in college that Jordan came to terms with the damage his addiction was causing and sought help from the Lord.
