Evan Lanier never imagined his career would revolve around a camera – let alone take him to dozens of countries by the time he turned 40. As a filmmaker, videographer, and co-founder of 5nine Creative, he’s spent years capturing powerful stories of people living out and strengthening their faith in the midst of hardship and tragedy. In this week’s episode, Evan joins Redeemed founder Paul Amos to share some of those stories, along with the life-changing lessons he and his family have learned along the way.

Having compiled many of those lessons into a new book titled The Fight for Us, Rebekah and Gabe talk with Nate Dewberry this week about those and many other marriage topics, including how to keep minor differences of opinion from snowballing into big fights—and what husbands can do when they hear the dreaded “I just don’t think we’re connecting” from their wives.

Any parent who’s raised a teenager has likely faced an emotional meltdown that seemed to come out of nowhere, and been left scratching their head trying to understand it. This week on The Redeemed Man podcast, pastor and mental health advocate Will Hutcherson joins us to shed light on the mental health struggles facing today’s teens. Drawing from extensive research, Will breaks down the science behind teenage angst in a way that’s both practical and relatable, equipping dads with tools to better understand and connect with their kids. In a world dominated by high tech and high stress, Will reminds us that what today’s teenagers need most is to feel seen, and that offering validation doesn’t mean you’re raising your kids to be “soft.” You’re raising them to be secure and resilient.
