Adam & Parker chop up the final Dynamite before Redemption!
Repentance is a concept we don't always think about, but should on a regular basis. No one likes to admit they're wrong, but for the child of God, the opportunity to repent is a call to agree with God about our sin and fall upon His grace and forgiveness to restore our relationship with Him. In Part 1 of this series, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at how restoration and blessing cannot flow unless repentance is present.

Sermon for June 28, 2026
As we enter Pride Month, conversations around identity, gender, and family dynamics are more prevalent than ever. This week, we sit down with Walt Heyer for a deeply personal and candid conversation that serves as a valuable tool for families navigating these complex topics. Walt shares his firsthand journey through gender dysphoria and cross-dressing, shedding light on how early childhood trauma can profoundly impact identity development. Together, we explore the historical context of gender treatments, the critical role of therapeutic support, and the long-term consequences of hormonal interventions. Walt emphasizes why active parental involvement is crucial and advocates for a deeper understanding of the root causes behind gender dysphoria. Rooted in a message of faith, healing, and redemption, this episode encourages families to foster open, honest conversations at home. Listener Note: This episode contains mature themes and discussions surrounding trauma and medical interventions that may not be suitable for children. Parental discretion is advised. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Early Roots of Identity Struggles: Walt’s experience with cross-dressing began at a young age, highlighting how early these complex issues can manifest in a child’s life. Psychological Impact: Cross-dressing and related behaviors can lead to significant and lasting psychological harm. Historical Context: There is an established historical precedent for gender dysphoria treatments that helps frame modern approaches. Risks of Medical Intervention: Hormonal treatments can carry severe, long-term physical and psychological consequences. The Vital Role of Parents: Active, intentional parental involvement is absolutely crucial when addressing a child’s internal struggles. Vetting Professional Help: Parents must carefully vet therapists and counselors to ensure they are truly helping uncover the truth rather than just affirming a symptom. Addressing the Source: It is essential to understand and address the underlying root causes—such as childhood trauma—rather than just treating the surface-level identity issues. The Power of Faith: Faith and spiritual redemption can play a deeply transformative role in an individual’s recovery and healing journey. A Legacy of Support: Through his website and personal counseling, Walt has successfully helped thousands of individuals and families navigate these struggles. A Call to the Church: The church has a distinct responsibility to actively support, equip, and walk alongside families facing these modern challenges.

Listen to all sessions through our membership! ABOUT THE GUEST: Walt Heyer's male identity was fractured at an early age when his grandmother cross-dressed him in secret and affirmed how cute he looked as a girl. That led to other abuse, physical and sexual. In adulthood, Walt internally identified as a girl, continued to cross-dress, and drank to excess. Even so, Walt married, had children, and successfully climbed the corporate ladder until his ongoing distress caused him to seek a gender therapist who told him cross-sex hormones and “gender reassignment surgery” were the answer. At age 42, Walt had the terribly destructive surgery and for the next 8 years, identified as a woman. But through a dramatic encounter with Jesus, Walt found redemption and healing. Walt has dedicated the last 20 years of his life helping thousands of people who identified as transgender and boldly sharing God's truth with compassion. Walt serves as Senior Fellow at Family Research Council in Washington DC and recently published his eighth book, co-authored with Jennifer Bauwens, Ph.D., called Embracing God's Design—Addressing the Spiritual and Psychological Crisis Behind Transgender Identity.

In April 1990, married couple Nancy Bishop and Richard Langert, who were expecting their first child, were found murdered in their Chicago home. Their killer was identified months later as David Biro, a local high school student, who bragged to a friend that he had done it. Decades later, in seeking closure to the crime, Nancy's sister pursued a face-to-face meeting with Biro in prison. “48 Hours" Correspondent Maureen Maher reports.

A knock at the door changed everything. Natasha shares the raw moment she learned her husband Jason was killed in Afghanistan, the flood of grief that followed, and the unexpected ways community, prayer, and time carried her from survival to strength. We open the living room of that day—strangers bearing unbearable news, friends filling the silence with presence—and follow her back to Alaska where family kept life moving when she could not.From there, the conversation widens into a surprising place: money. Natasha names a poverty spirit formed by early lack and reshaped by God through Scripture and obedience. We explore stewardship as relationship, not spreadsheets—why budgeting without prayer can become idolatry, how giving remains about the heart even when leaders fail, and the two biblical streams of provision: miracle and abundance. Together we wrestle with the question behind every money fear: is God actually good, and will He provide? Natasha anchors the answer in Jesus' wilderness test and the last word the Father spoke.We also talk about life rebuilt: marriage to David Buchanan, blessed with four children, businesses flourishing, and a home led by prayerful decisions. Natasha and John get practical—daily Scripture, finding a Christ-centered church, joining a small group, making yourself known, and sharing testimony so you do not face money anxiety or grief alone. Parenting gets real too: training kids to be friends, addressing conflict fast, and seeking God's wisdom for the hard questions.If you're standing in a wilderness of bills, loss, or doubt, this story offers a clear path forward: lean into God's voice, refuse isolation, and treat every resource—breath, words, time, money, beauty—as His to steward. Listen, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to provision and peace.Here is a link to Natasha Buchanan's book Hope with Abandon: https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Abandon-Natasha-Landphair-Buchanan/dp/B0F6VQDXQRFor more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
Kiwi rugby league star Brandon Smith is on the road to redemption. The Rabbitohs hooker fell from grace last year after being embroiled in a drug and gambling scandal. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.
A sore arm, on-and-off fevers, and a three-year-old who couldn't climb like she used to—what looked like growing pains became a leukemia diagnosis that rerouted an entire family's life. Jesse Huiskin joins us to share Phinley's story with candor and courage: the frantic ICU days, a suspected brain infection that wasn't, a tiny arm bone broken by marrow pressure, and the long road of relearning how to walk, eat, and speak. Through each turn, she shows how small mercies and fierce love can coexist with fear, and how faith can hold when answers don't.We explore the practical side that most families don't see until they're in it: turning a sterile room into a child's space, building a blanket fort around IV lines, managing meals and laundry, and coordinating work and siblings while living at the hospital. Jesse wrote Surviving to Thriving to give parents a handbook she couldn't find—what to pack, what hospitals usually provide, how to advocate, and how to protect a child's joy. Her mantra is simple and powerful: say yes. Yes to help, yes to community, yes to the small requests that make a hospital room feel like home.We also confront a hard truth: only 8 percent of U.S. cancer research funding goes to pediatric cancers. Kids aren't miniature adults, and outdated protocols cost lives. Jesse explains how Rally Foundation bridges that gap—funding research with 93 cents of every dollar going to mission and offering direct family support across the Gulf Coast. With Phinley's Phighters we're working towards research grant in Phinley's memory and inviting our community to join events that turn grief into momentum.If you've faced loss, are starting a hospital journey, or want to help children get better treatments faster, this conversation offers both heart and a roadmap.

What if the place you work could become the place you heal? We sit down with Nathan Abbott, a top-producing realtor on Florida's Emerald Coast, to unpack how prayer, community, and a clear sense of calling can turn a high-pressure business into a life-giving mission. Nathan opens up about growing up as a redhead who never quite fit, drifting into wild years, and finding peace in the rhythms of nature he calls God's paintbrush. That peace didn't stay on the shoreline—it followed him into the office, the team huddles, and the toughest client moments.The turning point comes with a story of anxiety undone by a simple prayer over the phone. From there, Nathan explains the habits that now anchor his leadership: closing meetings in prayer, asking “Are you okay?” when someone looks off, and letting faith guide how deals are done and people are treated. We talk about launching a company with prayer over the building, mentors who modeled faith at work, and how partnership deepens when truth and grace are on the table. There's a powerful thread about meeting people where they are—sometimes in the darkest places—and choosing to be the saint in the chaos.You'll hear practical steps to bring this home: read Scripture daily with a Bible app, commit to a Christ-centered church even if it's imperfect, and join a small group where honesty is normal and support is real. We also spotlight the healing power of nature through Nathan's sister, Amanda's Gulf Therapy nonprofit, and how a few brave words can change a life. If you're carrying quiet panic beneath a calm face, or if you're hungry to see your work matter beyond the numbers, this conversation offers a map.

Kayshon Boutte's road to redemption
A truck ride to a thrift store, a body shaking from withdrawal, and a heart convinced it was too late—that's where Kim's turnaround begins. What unfolds is a raw, hope-filled journey through addiction, relapse, faith, and a reunion a decade in the making. We go past the highlight reel to the slow work: how self-medication starts with one prescription, how shame isolates, why conviction is different from condemnation, and what it takes to rebuild a life one honest step at a time.Kim grew up in a stable home, but loss, divorce, and depression opened the door to pills, then to heroin when prescriptions stopped. At 58, she believed absence might be her greatest gift to her son. Instead, community and a long-term program gave her a scaffold to stand on. She shares the moment Scripture came alive, the power of hearing “come back” after a kratom slip, and the hard choice to reenter recovery when pride screamed no. We unpack practical tools for any season: choosing a program length that fits, finding sponsors and mentors, using simple routines to outlast cravings, and replacing guilt with action.There's no neat arc here—just perseverance, daily obedience, and a faith that offers dignity before results arrive. The story lands with a quiet miracle: a family reunion, a “Happy Thanksgiving, Mama” text, and the steady joy of paid bills, honest work, and real friends. If you've felt too old, too far gone, or too ashamed to try again, this conversation offers a clear path forward and a gentle push to take the next step.

Send us a textFor today's episode we got to read another fictional running story. These are rare but we've enjoyed every single one we read so far and this one was no exception.Toeing the start line of the 1983 Boston Marathon, Cooper McKenzie (the main character) finds himself in a race to make meaning of his troubled, unimpressive life. Cooper McKenzie is contending with the stark realities of middle age—he is fully disenchanted with his career, he is struggling to meet the financial needs of his young family, and he has accumulated an unbearable number of “what ifs” and regrets. Staring down a serious medical diagnosis, Cooper takes inventory of the pivotal moments of his life—things left unfinished, unfortunate outcomes, and a negative sense of self. He resolves to rewrite his script of failure even as his own body is failing him. A story of resilience builds as Cooper makes his way to the start of the Boston Marathon to run a distance he has never attempted, let alone completed. His reasons for risking it all to finish are painfully clear, but with such high stakes, finishing could mean the end. The Road to Redemption captures a personal journey that is altogether universal. We must traverse our lived experience, particularly those moments of vulnerability and shame, to reach the end goal of knowing the truth of what we can do and who we are.In this episode we had two guests... Tom's son, Matt Fitzgerald (yes, the same Matt Fitzgerald who has written more than 30 books about endurance), was there to help with questions if needed and Tom's other son, Sean, was in the background to help set up the technology. I guess we had 3 guests? Tom Fitzgerald doesn't always write about running but has his own impressive resume. He has authored a wide-ranging collection of impactful books, including the bestselling novel Chocolate Charlie, the popular fitness title Get Tough!, and the critically acclaimed Poor Richard's Lament. Raised in Upstate New York on the St. Lawrence River, Fitzgerald completed a series of solo open-water swims in his late teens and early 20s before joining the United States Navy and serving in Vietnam as a member of the Special Forces. He later ran the Boston Marathon three times. Fitzgerald began working on Road to Redemption (originally titled A Private Agony) in 1982, completing the novel after a lengthy hiatus at the urging of the second of his three sons, Matt Fitzgerald, himself the author of many books on running.If you'd like to learn more about the author, his website is: https://www.kingsleybooks.infoIf you'd like to see some of the othLink for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

What if the smallest act of obedience reframed your whole future? That's the thread running through this conversation with builder and developer John Farrow, whose story moves from a jar of coins on an altar to a nationwide portfolio built on excellence, generosity, and steady trust. We open with the move to Destin and the discovery of a church that prizes small groups and service, then follow the practical habits that anchor his life: daily Scripture, prayer, and a bias for action that pairs faith with work.John unpacks the “trash enclosure” moment that changed his trajectory—a minor job others dismissed that he completed with uncommon care. Corporate noticed, phones rang, and the door cracked open to large-scale hospitality and resort work. The lesson is specific and repeatable: do the small things in excellence, give first, and let your reputation carry across rooms you haven't entered yet. From there, we get personal about business choices, including the costly errors of jumping into deals without prayer or partnering where values didn't align. Matthew 6:33 sits over his company culture—seek first the Kingdom and the right way of doing things—and acts as a filter for opportunities, hiring, and growth.Community keeps the engine running. John describes a vibrant network of men's groups, mentoring, and new believers hungry to learn how to pray, serve, and lead. He shares the funnel image of spiritual formation: life starts wide and noisy, then narrows as conviction grows, habits strengthen, and character hardens in the right direction. We talk about the discipline of yielding—choosing peace over retaliation—and why forgiveness is a strategic decision that preserves focus and opens better doors. For anyone feeling stuck or skeptical, we outline actionable steps: read Scripture daily, pray morning and night, join a Christ-centered church, find a small group, give what you can, and work with excellence—especially when a task seems beneath you.If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with the one practice you'll start this week. Your story might begin with a small act of faith—and end with a legacy that outlives you.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Feeling swallowed by the fog or worried for someone who is? We open up about depression with a clear, compassionate look at what actually helps: wise boundaries with technology, honest community, timely professional care, and spiritual practices that steady the heart. Valerie Peterson, a licensed therapist and John Martin walk through real stories and practical tools, we explore how isolation after COVID made moods heavier, how social media stirs comparison and anxiety, and why even one trusted friend can change the trajectory of a hard week.You'll hear a whole-person framework that refuses false choices. We talk about when to seek a doctor's guidance, how medication can be a bridge “for a season, for a reason,” and why virtual counseling is a lifeline when leaving home feels impossible. We offer simple, high-impact habits: staying in today rather than spiraling into yesterday's regret or tomorrow's fear, keeping a daily gratitude list to retrain attention, and using thought stopping to interrupt mental loops. Along the way, we anchor to Scripture and prayer—not as shortcuts, but as steady companions—as we practice renewing the mind and choosing a hopeful next step.We close with three pillars that help you keep going: start your day in the Bible to shape your thinking, connect with a Christ-centered church for belonging, and commit to a small group where honesty and accountability are normal. Healing is often a process, not a switch, but you don't have to walk it alone.

From a small-town Vermont dairy farm to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, Christian artist Ben Fuller has walked through fire—and come out transformed. In this powerful episode nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Ben to talk about addiction, redemption, and the relentless grace of God. Ben opens up about his past struggles with cocaine, alcohol, and shame, and how one encounter with Jesus completely changed the trajectory of his life. Now, through chart-topping songs like “Who I Am” and his latest album Walk Through Fire, Ben's message of hope and healing is reaching millions around the world. He candidly shares his struggles with sin, the healing of family relationships and the inside story of his rise in the music scene including his collaboration with Carrie Underwood on "If It Was Up to Me."

What if the most powerful parenting tool isn't a system or schedule, but a life your children can watch up close? We sit down with Caroline Hawkins to talk about raising kids with a calm center—grounded in Scripture, shaped by worship, and honest about the mess. Caroline recommends reading Proverbs 31 and the daily practice of “putting on love,” as we share the moments that change the atmosphere of a home: apologizing when we blow it, praying over our kids by name, and inviting them to join us rather than forcing them to conform.Our conversation gets real about the modern thorns: screens everywhere, comparison, and the exhaustion that comes from being “on” all the time. We unpack a sane path forward—clear tech boundaries explained as love, not control; delaying devices and social media; collecting phones at night; and training kids to make wise choices when you're not around. The goal is to move from cop to coach to counselor as they grow, empowering them to own their faith and decisions. For the parent who's in a dry season, we offer practical ways to meet God on the move: audio Scripture in the car, worship in the background, and five-minute resets that can steady a whole day.Threaded through everything is a hopeful call: our greatest mission is our children's salvation. We talk about sowing and watering seeds of faith, trusting God's timing for prodigals, and finding strength in church and small groups where honest community feels like free therapy. If you're longing for children or healing from loss, you'll hear gentle encouragement to hold onto hope and embrace the season you're in, knowing God works in the unseen.Listen for simple practices you can try tonight, Scriptures to pray in the morning, and a vision of home that trades chaos for peace without pretending life is tidy. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review to help more parents find a path toward a quieter, stronger center.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
Lori Smith never imagined she'd find herself sitting alone in a dark parking lot, tears streaming down her face, begging God for direction after her world collapsed. As publisher and executive editor of Life Media Group—a thriving media company with eight newspapers across Florida's Emerald Coast—Lori now radiates confidence and purpose. But the road to her current success required navigating through extraordinary pain."I lost everything," Lori reveals in this raw, emotional conversation with host Valerie Peterson. Her story unfolds as she details facing a painful divorce after a decade of trying to save her marriage, mourning her mother's death, enduring financial devastation, and relocating to a community where she knew no one—all simultaneously. The image of Lori crying in her car before work, during lunch breaks, and on the drive home paints a vivid picture of someone in pure survival mode.The turning point came through divine intervention when, during her darkest moment, she heard God audibly release her from her marriage—a direction that contradicted everything she believed about divorce. This moment of clarity didn't eliminate her suffering but provided the permission she needed to move forward. Throughout this valley, Lori clung to specific worship songs that articulated her pain when she couldn't find words to pray, and to the promise that faith "the size of a mustard seed" was enough to sustain her.What makes Lori's testimony particularly powerful is her transformation from brokenness to becoming what she calls a "marketplace minister"—someone who brings Christ's presence into professional settings without formal ministry credentials. Now leading a successful media company, she prays with clients, speaks hope into business relationships, and uses her platform to influence others for Christ. Her journey proves that our darkest moments don't define us—they can become the very experiences God uses to equip us for greater impact and purpose.Ready to experience hope in your own journey?

Sexual addiction silently destroys lives, marriages, and families while those struggling often feel hopelessly trapped in cycles of shame. In this powerful conversation, Steve Coppi and Corey Neal share their journey from decades of sexual shame to newfound freedom through honesty, accountability and a personal relationship with Jesus.Steve reveals how his 45-year battle with pornography addiction began at age 12 and continued until he was 57. Rock bottom came when suicidal thoughts and unbearable hypocrisy drove him to make a desperate call to Corey. That single phone call began a transformation process when Corey responded not with judgment but with compassionate understanding: "That's not the worst I've heard before. You're going to be all right."The conversation dives deep into how true accountability operates—not as behavior policing but as a confessional space where men can finally bring their darkest struggles into the light. Drawing from James 5:16, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective".

What happens when someone truly goes "all in" with God? Travis Kring's return to Road to Redemption unveils the extraordinary transformation that unfolds when complete surrender meets divine grace.Travis takes us back to that pivotal moment on a West Palm Beach shoreline in April 2021. Having lost his marriage, children, career, and hometown, he stood at life's crossroads facing a divine ultimatum: "Is this flesh day? Is this all about yourself or is this about me?" His decision to fully commit sparked a redemption journey that continues to accelerate with each passing day.The conversation vibrates with authentic passion as Travis shares how his newfound boldness manifests in unexpected places. What began as two friends praying quietly by a gym water fountain has exploded into a daily gathering of 25+ people openly praying in a secular fitness center. This "ministry field" perfectly illustrates Travis's philosophy of spiritual offense rather than defense: "The devil's on full speed every day to attack us...we want to fight him back with scripture, with passion, putting people together."Perhaps most powerful is Travis's raw honesty about isolation's dangers and community's healing power. "Isolation is where the devil takes us to die," he shares, contrasting this with the life-giving connections formed in men's groups where vulnerability and accountability flourish. His encounter with Dallas Jenkins (creator of The Chosen) reinforces his core message: listen intently when the Holy Spirit speaks and obey immediately, regardless how small the prompting.Ready to move from being a fan to a follower of Christ? Travis's testimony offers both inspiration and practical pathways forward. His contagious enthusiasm for scripture reading, church attendance, and small group participation provides a roadmap for anyone seeking the "joy unspeakable" he's discovered through complete surrender to God.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

The grip of fear and anxiety has tightened around countless lives today—even among believers. What does it look like to break free? Join hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson as they continue their heartfelt, practical discussion on overcoming these powerful emotions."False evidence appearing real." This simple acronym for fear reveals how deceptive our anxious thoughts can be. Throughout this conversation, John and Valerie offer transformative strategies for shifting the seesaw of emotions—when faith rises, fear naturally falls. They explain how thanksgiving acts as spiritual armor against anxiety, sharing the powerful truth from Philippians 4 about bringing everything to God with gratitude. For those struggling with persistent worry, they distinguish between experiencing the emotion of fear versus living under a spirit of fear.The hosts tackle difficult questions head-on: Why do traumatic experiences trigger anxiety years later? How can we identify the "why behind the what" of our anxious responses? When bad news arrives, what scripture can anchor our hearts? Their honest admissions about their own battles with fear create a judgment-free space for listeners facing similar struggles.Most powerfully, they share Ralph Waldo Emerson's profound wisdom: "Do the thing you fear most and the fear will leave you." This courage to act despite discomfort—to do it afraid—often becomes the pathway to freedom. Whether you're paralyzed by anxiety or simply seeking greater peace, this episode provides both compassionate understanding and practical tools for standing steadfast when life feels overwhelming. Listen, apply these principles, and discover how to manage your emotions rather than letting them manage you.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Fear and anxiety touch all our lives, yet many of us—even believers—find ourselves trapped in their grip despite knowing God calls us to peace. In this heartfelt conversation, hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson share their personal journeys with anxiety while offering practical biblical solutions for breaking free."I've had anxiety in my past, even anxiety where it was crippling me," John confesses, immediately creating a safe space for listeners struggling with similar experiences. This raw honesty sets the tone for an episode that doesn't simply offer platitudes but acknowledges the very real battle many face daily.The hosts explore the fundamental spiritual dynamics behind anxiety—the tension between trust and control. Drawing from Scripture passages like Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:6-7, they reveal how God's word directly addresses our tendency to worry about tomorrow. Valerie shares a powerful insight: "I'll take life half hour by half hour. Sometimes even a day is hard to do," demonstrating that overcoming anxiety is often a moment-by-moment practice rather than an instant transformation.What sets this episode apart is its practical approach. Beyond encouraging prayer, the hosts outline specific strategies: developing a daily intimate relationship with God, consciously inviting the Holy Spirit into daily decisions, renewing your mind through Scripture meditation, joining supportive small groups, and seeking professional counseling when needed. Each recommendation comes with personal testimony about its effectiveness, offering listeners not just theory but tested pathways to peace.The conversation culminates with a profound observation about heaven—that we may one day regret all the time wasted in worry and fear when we see God's perfect plan revealed. This eternal perspective invites listeners to begin releasing anxiety today, trusting that the God who sees "the entire parade" of our lives is working even when we can only see today's circumstances.Ready to break free from the cycle of fear and anxiety? Listen now and discover how to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, even in our increasingly uncertain world.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
