About The Podcast

Jake Kegg’s uncle lived a life beset by addiction and marked by tragedy, but through all those tribulations he trusted in—and was grateful for—God’s redemption. That inspired Jake to build a life centered around sharing God’s love with others, and today he and his wife are doing just that, leading small ministry groups with children, adults, and couples alike. This week Jake and Redeemed director Nate Dewberry discuss a variety of topics ranging from building healthy habits and finding one’s God-given purpose to overcoming disappointment and the self-doubt that, without us even realizing it, can draw us away from a deeper relationship with the Lord.

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.
