From a childhood marked by foster care and abuse, to teenage addiction, crime, and prison, Jesse shares how God never stopped pursuing him. Through the faithful prayers of his adoptive mother, encounters with mentors, and a radical reawakening during COVID, Jesse's life was transformed from chaos and destruction to peace, purpose, and ministry.

In today's edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns our attention to the Great Commission — the lasting instruction Jesus gave His disciples before ascending into heaven. Each gospel record closes with a similar theme: the crucifixion, the resurrection, the commission, and the ascension. Though salvation is entirely the Lord's work, it is … Continue reading "The Importance of Making Disciples"

SummaryIn this conversation, Benjamin Lee discusses the contrast between trusting in the universe and trusting in God. He emphasizes that the universe is a created entity and cannot provide guidance, salvation, or answers to life's questions. Instead, he argues that God is the true source of life, truth, and blessings. Benjamin warns against modern idolatry, where people worship the creation rather than the Creator, and encourages listeners to seek a personal relationship with God.TakeawaysThe universe is a created entity, not the Creator.Trusting in the universe leads to disappointment.God is the source of life and truth.The universe cannot provide guidance or answers.Worshiping the universe is a form of idolatry.God desires a personal relationship with us.Redemption is found only in Jesus Christ.Every good gift comes from God, not the universe.The universe is silent; God communicates with us.The truth of God will always prevail over lies.Chapters00:00 The Universe vs. The Creator04:04 The Nature of Creation09:01 The Silence of the Universe11:51 God's Communication with Humanity16:07 The Power of God vs. The Universe19:48 The Fallacy of Trusting the Universe23:36 The Call to Trust in Godwww.icandopodcast.com

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Doug Bopst—former felon, now personal trainer, author, and transformational speaker—to unpack how adversity, addiction, and rock-bottom moments can become the fuel for growth, purpose, and fatherhood. Doug opens up about his journey from incarceration and drug addiction to becoming a man of impact and integrity.   We explore how pain can become power when ownership is embraced, how faith and fitness became Doug's lifeline, and why men must choose responsibility over blame to rewrite their story. This episode is a raw and redemptive look at what happens when a man stops running and starts leading—with heart, humility, and grit.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and Doug's powerful backstory: from pills to prison [3:48] - The moment everything changed: awakening behind bars [6:22] - Fitness as a path to discipline, clarity, and redemption [9:10] - Rebuilding trust with family through consistent action [11:36] - The identity shift from addict to athlete to leader [14:44] - Why your past doesn't disqualify you from fatherhood or purpose [17:32] - How Doug uses his pain to mentor young men and fathers [20:01] - The role of faith in healing and daily direction [23:10] - Accountability and structure as freedom—not limitation [25:38] - Why your mess can become your message [28:19] - The impact of small daily wins over massive overhauls [30:56] - Final reflections on masculinity, resilience, and second chances     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Your Past Doesn't Define You—Your Choices Do Doug proves that where you come from doesn't have to determine where you're going. Redemption starts when you take full ownership. 2. Fitness Can Be a Spiritual Practice Exercise became Doug's anchor. It wasn't just about the body—it became a tool for mental clarity, emotional regulation, and self-worth. 3. Consistency Rebuilds Trust Doug didn't win back respect overnight. It was through showing up daily—at home, at work, in faith—that others started believing in him again. 4. Your Story Can Heal Others When you share your scars instead of hiding them, you give others permission to grow. Doug's journey now empowers men to rise from their lowest points. 5. Discipline Is the Gateway to Freedom True freedom doesn't come from avoiding pain. It comes from building structure, owning your role, and becoming someone your family can count on.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Connect with Doug Bopst: https://www.dougbopst.com/free The Dad Edge Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Podcast Hub: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools     If this episode inspired you to own your past and step into your potential, follow, rate, review, and share the podcast.

What happens when the worst thing you've ever done becomes the foundation for your life's work?Episode SummaryMy guest on this episode is Tom Hardin, otherwise known as Tipper X.  He's been on the show before, but this time we're tackling a different angle.If you don't already know his story, Tom was a rising star in the hedge fund world in his twenties when he became involved in insider trading. Caught by the FBI, he made the decision to cooperate — ultimately becoming one of the most prolific informants in the largest investigation of its kind in U.S. history. His work with the FBI helped secure dozens of convictions, and while his own case remained under seal for years, he eventually chose to speak publicly about what happened — not to excuse it, but to help others understand how good people can make bad decisions.If you haven't heard Tom's first appearance on the show, where he tells that extraordinary story in full, I highly recommend listening to it here before diving into this episode.Because this time, we're not talking about what he did back then; we're talking about what he's done since. Tom has built a powerful second act, using his experience to educate organisations about ethics, decision-making and behavioural risk. He's now delivered over 600 talks, and what fascinates me is how he's turned that into something both impactful and sustainable.His forthcoming book Wired on Wall Street is due out next year, and he'll be back on the show to talk about that. But for now, I wanted to explore what it means to build a career from a cautionary tale. In this conversation, we explore:How Tom built a speaking business around his past without glamourising itThe frameworks he's developed to help companies recognise ethical pressure pointsHow he navigates scepticism, manages reputation, and avoids turning his story into a performanceThe impact he hopes to have, and how he measures itThis is a conversation about vulnerability, professionalism, and doing good with what you've learned the hard way. Whether you're in compliance, leadership, education, or just curious about how we turn failure into purpose, this one's for you.Guest ProfileTom is a former hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant, now a globally recognised speaker and ethics educator. Known as Tipper X, Tom shares his story to help others understand the behavioural drivers of misconduct and the power of accountability. AI Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – IntroductionChristian shares the origin of this episode, his relationship with Tom, and the context behind the conversation.06:30 – The label “Tipper X” and living with itTom reflects on how it feels to be known by his code name and why he uses it professionally.09:00 – What it's like to talk about the worst thing you've done, repeatedlyThe emotional and psychological toll of speaking publicly about past wrongdoing.13:00 – Keeping it fresh: updating the story and the messageHow Tom avoids becoming performative and ensures audiences always get something valuable.16:40 – Why it's not entertainmentTom draws the line between education and storytelling-as-performance, and how he avoids glamorising his past.20:50 – The business model behind Tipper XThe practicalities of how Tom has built and sustained a speaking career rooted in his past.26:30 – Frameworks and tools Tom uses in his talksHe discusses behavioural insights and models he shares with audiences to make the message stick.31:00 – The “AI homework” storyA compelling example Tom uses to explain rationalisation and ethical grey areas.36:00 – Over 630 talks: managing the workload and the missionHow Tom tracks his talks and why he keeps going despite the repetition.39:10 – Audience reactions and confessionsWhat people tell Tom after his talks — and what that reveals about corporate culture.42:30 – “Why should we pay someone who committed a crime?”Christian and Tom unpack this ethical tension and why context, intent and delivery matter.48:00 – Building trust with clients and collaboratorsThe importance of transparency, humility and boundaries in how Tom presents himself.53:20 – What success really looks likeTom reflects on purpose, legacy and the long-term impact he hopes to have.57:00 – Looking ahead: the forthcoming book and continuing the conversation.

In this powerful episode, Kara sits down with Acacia Walker, one of the most accomplished coaches in women's lacrosse and the head coach of Team USA. Acacia shares the secret sauce behind building championship teams—from taking Boston College from never winning a national title to securing two championships and becoming the winningest program since 2017. This conversation is packed with leadership lessons, culture-building strategies, and mindset practices that apply far beyond the field. Acacia opens up about the power of unselfishness, the art of hard conversations, and how visualization shapes performance. She also shares her journey to becoming Team USA's head coach and how she balances coaching 40 athletes with raising three kids. Whether you're a leader, athlete, coach, or parent, this episode will inspire you to elevate your game in every area of life.Episode Topics:Building a Championship Culture: How Acacia transformed Boston College lacrosse from underdog to two-time national champion through culture over talentThe Power of Unselfishness: Why putting the team before personal goals creates unstoppable momentumLeadership & Hard Conversations: The importance of tackling difficult conversations instead of sweeping issues under the rugTeam USA Journey: The moment Acacia got the call to lead the U.S. Women's National Lacrosse Team to the 2026 World Championship in JapanVisualization & Mental Training: How mental rehearsal can be more powerful than physical practiceBalancing Work & Family: Merging two worlds—coaching 40 athletes while raising three kids with family supportThe Role of Mentorship: How legendary coach Cindy Timshaw shaped Acacia's coaching philosophy and approachHighlights:00:00 Building Championship Team Culture 05:41 Building Team Culture in Coaching 10:35 Building Team Culture and Unselfishness 15:27 Team Culture and Communication 19:08 Team USA Coaching Journey 23:56 Visualization and Mental Training 28:44 Balancing Family and Coaching 31:20 Team USA Follow-Up 32:32 Podcast episode ended Insights:Culture beats talent in tight games. When it's tied and a championship is on the line, the team with stronger culture and deeper connections wins.The "you before me" mentality creates exponential returns. When 30 players all focus on empowering each other, everyone gets elevated simultaneously.The in-between moments reveal true character. Great coaches pay attention to how athletes treat each other on the sidelines, after wins, after losses, and when no one's watching.Mental reps are as powerful as physical reps. Visualization done properly from a calm state creates neural pathways that translate to real performance.You can't build culture alone—your staff must embody it first. Everything trickles down from leadership, so alignment at the top is essential.Hard conversations are skills that require practice. Avoiding conflict weakens teams; diving in, breaking it down, and working through it strengthens bonds.Redemption can be a powerful motivator. Acacia's drive to win stemmed partly from not winning a championship while playing under her mentor at Maryland.Resources:Follow Team USA Lacrosse: Instagram @USALacrosseFollow Boston College Women's Lacrosse: Instagram @BCLacrosseJerry Lynch: Sports psychologist who works with...

"Is it really a Vegas trip if you don't end up in a smoking room, battling gout, and chasing down a lost iPhone like a private investigator?"In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into Ben Rogers' unforgettable (and borderline tragic) Vegas misadventure — a tale of hooker-scented hotel rooms, gout-induced agony, and a relentless quest to recover a lost phone. Joined by co-hosts Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray, this segment is packed with hilarious storytelling, heartfelt reflections, and the kind of chaos only Ben can deliver.

Send us a textA Jeep named Blasphemy idled outside a church he never meant to visit—and a single text pushed the door open. What followed wasn't a lightning bolt but a slow, stubborn grace that met a former Luciferian in his grief, his doubts, and his need for peace. We sit down with Frederick to trace the path from fear-based power to a life anchored in Christ, including the moment he saw a cross “lit” that shouldn't have been, the day he renounced the enemy out loud on a lonely road, and the quiet practices that turned turmoil into clarity.We also dig into a question that confuses and scares many: can Christians be possessed by demons? With biblical grounding and help from Dr. Andrew Farley's teaching, we draw a firm line—indwelt by the Holy Spirit means not possessed. The enemy's weapons are accusation, deception, and distraction from the outside, but our identity in Christ—holy, forgiven, a new creation—secures the inside. That shift moves us from demon-focused anxiety to Jesus-centered confidence.Finally, we get practical about living a victorious life. Not hype—habits. We talk discipline that looks like devotion: reading Scripture in context, praying out loud when the mind runs wild, choosing daily to walk as a child of God with power, love, and a sound mind. If you've wrestled with dark nights, lingering shame, or the lies that keep you small, this story and the truths we unpack will help you stand tall in the light.If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs hope today.

You probably know Breanna Nix from her showstopping duet with Brandon Lake on the 2025 season of American Idol, but what you might not know is everything that led her to that Hollywood stage. Breanna opens up to Sadie about growing up in a broken home, not knowing her real dad, and the painful truth that sent her spiraling into rejection and shame. She gets real about being bound by food, how she rebuilt a healthy relationship with it in a way that honors God, and now coaches others to do the same. Sadie can't wait to hear about Breanna's now-viral moment with Carrie Underwood, who encouraged her about “just” being a stay-at-home mom. Plus, Breanna spills the tea on the crazy weeks leading up to her American Idol audition: fights with family and church leadership over whether she should even compete, almost passing on dating her now-husband, and how marriage and motherhood have completely changed the game.

Lori opens a special three-part series, Regret Meets Redemption, addressing lies that widows, single moms, and even children often believe and how God's attributes dismantle those lies. Today's lie is the belief that we could have done something to keep our children from growing up without their dad. Knowing God as our Redeemer shatters that lie and brings hope.Through Scripture, personal reflection, and encouragement, Lori points listeners to God's character as Redeemer. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells the story of redemption, and this truth brings clarity, comfort, and assurance when the weight of regret presses in.Understanding regret and grief, and learning to discern when natural regret turns into a lie.The sovereignty of God over life and death, with Scripture that confirms our days are set by Him (Job 14:5; Psalm 139:16; 1 Samuel 2:6).Why combating lies with the truth of God's character as our Redeemer is essential, and how redemption brings freedom and peace (Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18–19).In this episode, Lori will discuss:Takeaway: Regret may whisper lies, but God's truth speaks louder.

The book of Ruth may be only four short chapters, but it carries one of the most powerful and hope-filled stories in the entire Bible. Set during the dark and chaotic era of the Judges, Ruth's story begins with famine, loss, and bitterness—but it ends with redemption, joy, and the promise of a King. In this sermon, we journey through the entire book of Ruth. We begin with Naomi, a grieving widow who believes her life has been emptied by God. We meet Ruth, a foreigner from Moab, who makes a radical decision of faith: to leave her homeland, her family, and her gods behind to follow Naomi and worship the God of Israel. Her words—“Your people will be my people, and your God my God”—become a defining moment of loyalty and trust. What follows is a story of divine providence woven through ordinary events. Ruth “just happens” to glean in the field of Boaz, a man of noble character and a relative of Naomi's late husband. In Boaz, we see both kindness and strength as he steps into the role of kinsman-redeemer, protecting Ruth and securing a future for Naomi's family. What looks like chance is really God's careful orchestration. This lesson reminds us that no life is too small, no decision too ordinary, and no circumstance too bleak for God to use in His redemptive plan. The book of Ruth teaches us that behind every step of obedience, every act of loyalty, and every risk of faith lies the possibility of God writing a much bigger story than we could ever imagine. If you've ever wondered how God can work through your everyday struggles, disappointments, and choices, this story is for you. Ruth's journey shows us that God's providence is at work in famine and in fullness, in tragedy and in joy, and that He is still weaving our ordinary lives into His extraordinary plan of redemption.

Send us a textWhat is Redemption? What does it mean to be Redeemed? These are two important questions that form part of the foundation of Christian doctrine. We need to not only know these things but be able to explain them as well.Redemption is the the work of Christ where we receive the full benefit of His work without our effort. Do you remember S&H Green Stamps. This will bring back some memories.

Welcome back to the Homeward podcast.  I am honored to share today's conversation with the incredibly wise + paradigm-shifting David Bedrick.  David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame. Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption. Today's conversation serves as its own masterclass in unshaming. You'll hear David help me tease out my own inner critic and walk us through the unshaming process to find the flower (the gift) in our pain.  I can't wait for you to listen.  Links Mentioned:  Order The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7 Learn more on David's website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/  Follow him over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/    Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

We will journey through some of the most powerful short stories ever told–stories that have shaped Christian faith for centuries. These are not just simple moral lessons. These are Kingdom revelations. With simple images– a tree, a lost coin, a house being built– Jesus opens our eyes to the beauty of God's heart, our need for salvation, and what it means to live in His Kingdom under His reign.The parables are how Jesus invites us in. They are windows into the heart of God and mirrors revealing our own. They confront us, comfort us, and ultimately call us to respond to the good news that God's Kingdom has drawn near in Jesus.This week, Pastor Jake Slebodnik teaches out of Luke 14:25-33.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved,  or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app redtem.in/tempeappOR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook:    / redemptiontempe.  .Twitter:    / redemptiontem  Instagram:    / redemptiontempe..  .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.
