In our lifetime, we have seen remarkable developments in the field of medicine. Doctors can now successfully treat diseases and injuries that would have been fatal 50 or 100 years ago. But despite our extraordinary advances in health sciences and medical technology, the mortality rate for the human race is still 100%. How can you face the grim certainty of physical death with hope, peace, and assurance? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb sit down with Nick and Crystal to share a story that honestly should not have worked out—at least not on paper. Nick grew up in “Happy Valley, UT” served in the Church, and still spiraled into years of addiction and alcoholism that tore his family apart and ended in divorce. Crystal was left to pick up the pieces: raising kids, going back to school, working any job she could find, and learning how to breathe again while feeling like she was drowning. Nick, meanwhile, sank so deep into addiction that he fully expected to die or end up in prison. Then God stepped into both of their stories—through detox, The Other Side Academy, AA, the big book, the Divine Gift of Forgiveness, and a new, personal relationship with Jesus Christ that had nothing to do with box-checking and everything to do with grace.Seven years after their divorce, against every earthly odd, Nick and Crystal are remarried—and they are painfully honest about what it took to get there: surrender, gut-level honesty, daily reliance on Jesus Christ, and a long, messy process of forgiveness that even included welcoming another child from Nick's “wreckage” into Crystal's circle of love. They talk about what it feels like to be the addicted spouse and what it feels like to be the betrayed one trying to survive, pay the bills, and not poison the kids against their dad. Crystal shares how God taught her to “quit swimming” and trust Him in the dark, and Nick testifies that the best place to start is when “the fight has been beat out of you.” If you've ever felt like it's too late, too broken, or too far gone—whether you're the one in addiction or the one trying to hold everything together—this conversation will whisper to your soul: you are not alone, and Jesus is willing to get His hands dirty in your story too.
When you hear that Jesus Christ died for your sins, so that you could be redeemed, do you understand what that means? Or are you a little hazy about what redemption is all about? Pastor John Munro continues a fascinating lesson on what it means to be Redeemed.

Point 1. The Main ProblemIn Luke 5:8, when Simon Peter saw the miraculous catch of fish, he cried out: “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”He was aware of his sin, but not of the saviorPoint 2. On the Opposite Side is an OverflowJohn 21:3-6 NIV“I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.To live on the opposite side is… To love the unlovelyTo give when it looks like we have nothing to give.To walk by faith, when confronted by fearTo forgive when we were the ones wronged Point 3. Jesus, the Lord, Holds it all togetherJohn 21:7 NIVThen the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you've caught.”Then Jesus asked Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”John 21:18 NIVJesus said: “When you were younger, you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old, (as you grow, mature) someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”Point 4. Every Knee Will BowPhilippians 2:9–11 NIV“God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”Point 5.

Rejection isn't the end of your story—it can be the beginning of God's greater plan.If you've ever felt cast aside, overlooked, or unseen… this conversation is for you. Because rejection hurts—deeply. Whether it's a broken relationship, a missed opportunity, or simply feeling invisible, those moments can leave scars that whisper lies: you're not enough, you're not wanted, you don't belong.But here's the truth: rejection doesn't define you—in God's hands, it refines you.Today, I'm joined by Ginger Stache, Emmy Award–winning storyteller and Chief Creative Officer at Joyce Meyer Ministries. She knows what it's like to walk through rejection and come out stronger, wiser, and more anchored in God's love.We're talking about how God can take the sting of rejection and use it to shape you, strengthen you, and set you free.Because when God rewrites your story, rejection becomes redirection—and that's where purpose begins.

Redemption isn't just a religious word; it's the heartbeat of the gospel. In Ephesians 1:7–8, Paul reveals that through the blood of Jesus, we have been rescued from slavery, forgiven of every sin, and covered by God's overflowing grace.This truth not only reveals the redemptive work of Christ it redefines our very identity in Him. Today, we step into the fullness of what it means to live as the redeemed: liberated from bondage, washed in forgiveness, and overflowing with grace.Series: Identity: Found in HimSpeaker: Herber CamposScripture: Ephesians 1:1-8Timestamps:00:00 - What is redemption?04:37 - The Trinitarian Perspective on Redemption06:19 - Redemption elements06:48 - Rescue from Slavery of Sin09:23 - Forgiveness of Sins12:53 - Grace of God14:58 - Unity in Christ18:12 - Where are you placing your identity?19:27 - Understanding our Identity23:35 - Receive Christ25:33 - Prayer27:41 - Updates28:35 - Discussion and Prayer Focus#jesuschrist #jesus #identity #foundinchrist #forgiveness #redeemedinchristSupport the show

TODAY'S LESSONIdentity is the battlefield beneath every other battle. If the enemy can confuse who you are, he can control how you live. Christ ended that confusion at the cross. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). New creation doesn't mean renovated sinner; it means regenerated daughter—reborn into a royal household with rights, responsibilities, and a name written in the Lamb's Book of Life.The world hands out labels like price tags—single, married, divorced, successful, stuck, pretty, plain. God cancels them with one word: Mine. When you live from that name, insecurity begins to starve. You stop performing for acceptance and start producing from acceptance. Your parenting shifts from fear to faith. Your marriage shifts from scorekeeping to serving. Your work shifts from chasing relevance to carrying presence.Burn the false scripts: “I'm too much.” “I'm not enough.” “I'm behind.” Heaven isn't wringing its hands about your timeline; the Author is still writing. You are not your trauma, not your triumphs, not your titles. You are blood-bought, Spirit-filled, and called. Walk like it. Talk like it. Pray like it. When condemnation tries to sit in your passenger seat, show it the receipt—Paid in Full.

What is the nature of sin and desire? At a theological level?We're diving in with Joel Carini (from The Natural Theologian) for a theological conversation about desire, sin, attraction, and the resources that the reformed theological tradition has (or doesn't have) for same-sex-attracted, celibate Christians. Also includes: comparisons to psychology vs. biblical counseling, and how Harry Potter had comparable challenges.—Note: We use the terms “Side A” and “Side B” as shorthand quite a bit. If you're new to the conversation, here's a quick explanation. We also recommend listening to our episode #3, “A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality.”* “Side A” generally refers to the perspective that affirms God can bless same-sex marriage and sexual relationships.Sides B, X, and Y all represent perspectives that uphold the historic Christian sexual ethic of marriage between a man and a woman, and sex within marriage. Specific perspectives differ beyond that:* “Side B” recognizes people experience same-sex sexual attraction and may describe that experience by a variety of words or identity terms while still holding to the historical Christian sexual ethic.* ”Side X” tends to emphasize the possibility of sexual orientation change, and ministers to gay people toward the aim of being “ex gay.”* “Side Y” tends to avoid naming any kind of identity language associated with LGBT concerns, with the goal of not taking on an identity of being “gay.”★ About Our GuestJoel Carini is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at Saint Louis University. He holds an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary and an MA from the University of Chicago. He publishes regularly at his Substack and YouTube at The Natural Theologian.Joel's previous episode on New Kinship is: #29 - Weigh and Consider the World: Joel Carini on Nature, Truth, and Side B—★ Timestamps(00:00) #71 – Can Desire Be Redeemed?

Send us a textSpecial Forces-From Least Trusted to Most RedeemedPodcast Summary – Special Forces S4 E5: “Trust”Day 5 begins with 13 recruits left, and the theme is all about trust and integrity. The Directing Staff (DS) warn that not everyone will make it — they need to cut 3 or 4 people — and immediately test the group's loyalty by offering an early voluntary withdrawal. Nick Young and Ravi Patel take the out, leaving 11 recruits.The DS then dive into the trust exercise, asking: “Who would you not take on a mission?” The recruits call each other out, and supermodel Chanel Iman ends up being voted the least trusted of the group. The judgment hits her hard — she breaks down, feeling rejected and misunderstood — but teammates Gia and Brianna defend her, saying she's been nothing but supportive.The Trust MissionsTeams are divided for physical and leadership challenges. Chanel struggles as team leader, hesitant to give orders and unsure of herself. She admits she's used to staying quiet and “keeping her head down.” Team Bravo dominates while Team Alpha falls apart — again testing who steps up and who falters under pressure.Later, the DS call Chanel in for a one-on-one. She opens up about her modeling past — starting at 12, facing rejection, and living through the pressures of drugs, sex, and image obsession in the industry. The DS remind her she needs to own her power and stop fading into the background.The “Snack Trap” – Failed Trust TestThe DS plant a box of snacks marked “DS Dorm” to test the recruits' honesty. Randall takes the bait, thinking it's a morale boost, while Chanel warns, “Don't trust it — don't touch it.” When he realizes it was a trap, Randall confesses to the team, taking full responsibility.The Backward DiveNext, partners must fall backward into water at the same time — a literal trust fall. Most fail.Jessie James Decker & Christie – FailRandall & Andrew – FailGia & Kody – FailChanel & Mark – FailShawn & Eric Decker – PassBrianna & Chanel – Pass (Chanel redeems herself leading with confidence)Randall's Emotional BreakthroughThe DS pull Randall aside after noticing he seems checked out. He confides he misses his family, still haunted by their house fire that nearly cost them their lives. He realizes he joined for selfish reasons — chasing the thrill — but learns that by giving everything to this experience, he can return home a stronger father and partner.Trust Comes Full CircleThe DS reveal the snack trap and remind the team that they all failed the trust test. Randall owns up again, and Gia confirms Chanel was the one who warned them not to touch it. Chanel, once the least trusted, is now vindicated — she's told to stay dry while picking who she trusts least. She chooses Brianna, confronting her directly for doubting her earlier.Brianna, Randall, and Gia end up in the punishment cage, soaked with dirty water as the others look on. It's a humbling end to a brutal episode — a reminder that trust on this course is earned the hard way.TakeawaysThe importance of mental and physical resilience in challenges.Quitting can be seen as a strength in recognizing personal limits.Trust and integrity are crucial in team dynamics.Leadership roles can shift based on individual strengths.PhysicaSupport the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/
