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.

His 30th birthday was just around the corner, and Nigel Darius was at a crossroads.

He asked God for a new path and a new opportunity, but when God asked him, “Do you believe I can give them to you?” he realized the answer was “No.” Or perhaps more accurately, “Not yet.”
The Freedom That Comes with Obeying God
Let’s face it, obedience isn’t a fun topic for most of us. Between an American ethos that prizes individualism and innovation, a culture that pushes indulgence, and a natural human desire to be free from control, we don’t like to feel compelled to follow anyone else’s rules. So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It
Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.
