From Broken to Blessed: The Powerful Story of Dr. John Trent - Episode 268
Not everyone gets the happy childhood or strong family they dreamed of. Dr. John Trent, founder of StrongFamilies, grew up without ever knowing his father until later in life. The pain and confusion from that absence shaped his early years — until a godly man stepped into his life and introduced him to Jesus. But the trials didn’t stop there. Years later, John faced one of a father’s greatest fears — a wayward daughter. Through unwavering love, persistent prayer, and trust in God, he fought for restoration… and saw it happen. This is a powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, healing, and legacy — proof that God can turn deep brokenness into blessing.

Forgiving the unforgivable - Interview with John Smithbaker - Episode 262
Behind every healed heart is a story of radical forgiveness and God's redeeming love. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with John Smithbaker, founder of Fathers in the Field Ministry—a powerful outreach that pairs godly men with fatherless boys to introduce them to their Heavenly Father and guide them toward healing. John vulnerably shares his own transformative journey: growing up abandoned by his earthly father, wrestling with deep wounds, coming to Christ, and ultimately choosing forgiveness—which set him free and sparked the vision for Fathers in the Field. He now equips men to walk through the same process of forgiveness, releasing bitterness and stepping into the fullness God intends. If you've been hurt by an absent or broken father figure, struggle with unforgiveness, or want to help others find freedom, this raw and redemptive conversation is for you. It's a reminder that no wound is beyond God's healing grace. Listen or watch the full episode this Thursday—wherever you subscribe, or on YouTube!

Restoring your Purpose: Hope for Burnout and Discouragement - Episode 258
Ever feel completely burned out—exhausted from loss, grief, the grind of life and ministry, and that deep sense of disconnection from your purpose and from God? You're not alone, and there's real hope on the other side. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys welcome back their friend Mike Weaver, lead singer of Big Daddy Weave. Mike vulnerably shares his raw journey through one of the darkest seasons of his life: navigating overwhelming burnout, profound grief after losing his brother and bandmate Jay, the weight of ministry demands, and feeling spiritually and emotionally disconnected. But this isn't just a story of pain—it's one of restoration. Mike opens up about how God met him in the brokenness, reignited his purpose, and brought healing that allowed him to step back into life and music with renewed passion and hope. If you're in a season of fatigue, questioning your calling, or grieving losses that have left you feeling far from God, this conversation will remind you that burnout doesn't have to be the end—it's often where true restoration begins. Tune in for honest encouragement, biblical insight, and the reminder that God can redeem even our deepest disconnection. Check out Mike's powerful music and the latest from Big Daddy Weave at bigdaddyweave.com—songs like "Redeemed," "The Lion and the Lamb," and tracks from their recent projects carry the very hope he talks about here.

Raising Christ-Centered Children in a Christ-Rejecting Culture - Episode 256
In a culture that increasingly rejects biblical truth, how do you intentionally raise children who truly value family, God's design, and unwavering faith? This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with Matt and Andrea Crum, founders of Genuine Family Ministries. As parents of two boys navigating the same real-world pressures we all face, Matt and Andrea share their powerful story: why they left the familiar to step full-time into ministry, equipping families to stand firm with truth and love in confusing times. They open up about the ongoing battle to disciple kids biblically—addressing tough topics like trans ideology and identity confusion—while offering practical tools, encouragement, and strategies for parents. They also tackle the current challenges churches face in upholding a biblical worldview amid cultural pushback, and how we can reaffirm God's unchanging truth in our homes. If you're a dad wanting to lead your family with courage, protect your kids' hearts, and build a legacy that honors Christ over culture, this conversation is packed with hope, wisdom, and actionable steps. As Andrea says in her book Christ Over Culture, we don't have to fear the world our kids are growing up in—we just need to be intentional in equipping them to thrive in it.

Boldness or Bold Less??
It’s time to stop making excuses. This week, the guys dive into what it really means for men to live with boldness — not arrogance, but the kind of God-given courage that changes families, workplaces, and communities. When a man stops believing the lies about who he’s not and starts walking in who God says he is, everything shifts. In this episode, Bill and Travis unpack what bold, Christ-centered living looks like, and how every man can step into the confidence and calling God created him for.
