About The Podcast
Luke Smallbone, one half of the Christian pop duo For King & Country, recalls his childhood as a hemisphere-spanning story of keeping the faith and rising above seemingly insurmountable family struggles. That incredible story will soon hit the big screen as the film “Unsung Hero,” which Luke co-produced—with his brother and bandmate Joel on the other side of the camera. This week Nate Dewberry engages Luke about his family’s story and the “miracles” that came to them in the form of selfless neighbors and communities. Luke also talks about how the experience reinforced his belief in the importance of family, and how he balances the rigors of a career in the entertainment industry with the responsibilities of being a husband and father.

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.
