- 1 Peter 1:6-7
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

- Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
- Psalm 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble
  You preserve my life.
You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes;
    with Your right hand You save me.
May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
- 2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
The goal of The Redeemed is to provide men a supportive, communal environment where they can discuss their problems, worries, and feelings of “brokenness” without fear of being judged or censored.Â
In these challenging, uncertain times, many men feel broken and alone. The Redeemed aims to show them they’re not alone in their brokenness, and that God’s love and strength are available to them too—not in spite of their human failings, but because.
If you would like to tell your story, talk, have someone listen, or surround yourself with those who have experienced brokenness and restoration, please contact The Redeemed.

Breaking Free From Performance and Shame Through Your Identity in Christ
Maybe you’ve heard the name Frank Abagnale—the real-life con artist who became famous in the film Catch Me If You Can. Before the age of 21, he successfully convinced the world that he was, among other things, an airline pilot, doctor, and lawyer. Each identity came with confidence, credentials, and applause. And for a while, the masks worked—Abagnale fooled many people. However, it eventually caught up with him. Every false identity he wore led him deeper into consequence, fear, and exposure.
Prayer and Fasting in Community Strengthens Christian Men
Who are you becoming in Christ?
Prayer and fasting are deeply personal practices, but they are not meant to be practiced only in isolation. When they are shared in community, they become places of encouragement, accountability, and deeper formation. As you discuss the following questions, resist the urge to perform or fix. Instead, listen well, speak honestly, and encourage one another. Growth begins with truth, and God often uses community for the forming work he wants to accomplish in us.
The Discipline of Self-Denial: Why Christian Men Need Prayer and Fasting
We live in a culture obsessed with self-indulgence. From the moment we wake up, we’re told we deserve more: more comfort, more success, more experiences, more stuff. Bigger is better. Newer is necessary. If something feels hard, inconvenient, or uncomfortable, we’re encouraged to avoid it or upgrade out of it. The message is constant and convincing: you owe it to yourself.
