About The Podcast
An interest in health and fitness that Brannen Dorman developed as a young kid eventually took him to Wheaton College, where he was a fullback on the football team; to coaching at schools in Florida; and now to Training Think Tank in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he helps athletes and others set fitness performance goals and plan how to achieve them. Though the world of fitness is “not a Christ-centric space,” Brannen has still found openings to talk about his faith, particularly with athletes who find themselves disillusioned by the win-at-all-costs attitude prevalent in sports—or just by modern life in general. Brannen talks with Paul Amos about the intersection between faith and fitness, as well as raising a family of faith, in this week’s podcast.

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?
