They open up about how God met them in their darkest moments and began to rewrite their story through the power of the gospel, true forgiveness, and the hope found in Jesus.

Forgiving the unforgivable - Interview with John Smithbaker - Episode 262

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:01:00 +0000

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

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:14:00 +0000

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

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:15:00 +0000

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.

3 Things Dads Should Never Back Down From - Episode 253

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 05:45:00 +0000

Life moves fast. One minute you’re in the front seat of your child’s life… and before you know it, you’re on the sidelines watching them take the wheel. Between work, bills, pressure, and pace, it’s easy to drift instead of lead.

Ferris Bueller said it best: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
That’s especially true when it comes to family.

Wherever you are on the journey—diapers or diplomas—the guys unpack three things every dad must never back down from if he wants to lead well and leave a lasting legacy.

As you look toward 2026, make these three commitments part of who you are as a father.

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:25:00 +0000

The headlines have been filled with stories of Christian leaders facing serious accusations of wrongdoing and abuse. So how do we respond when the people we admire—and trust—let us down?

From the recent controversy surrounding Michael Tait of the Newsboys to the broader issue of leadership failures in the church, Matt helps us navigate these tough but important conversations.

If you’ve been hurt by a leader in the church, or you’re wrestling with how to respond when a hero falls, this episode is for you. God wants to lead us from bitterness toward healing and restoration—and this conversation points the way.

Focus on the Grapes

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 06:44:00 +0000

Life is full of uncertainty — and fear can often hold us back from stepping into what God has promised. The Israelites faced the same challenge in Numbers 13 as they stood on the edge of the Promised Land, torn between faith and fear.

This week, the guys unpack the powerful lesson of “Focusing on the Grapes” — choosing to see God’s provision and promise rather than being overwhelmed by obstacles. They share practical, faith-based tools to help you walk boldly into your calling, even when life feels intimidating.

If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, fear, or discouragement about your future — this episode will remind you that God’s promises are still good, and His plan is still worth trusting.

Brian unpacks the four biggest struggles men face today and shares practical ways to overcome them through a Christ-centered lens. He also gives powerful insight on how we can support the next generation as they face anxiety, loneliness, and identity challenges.

In this episode, Brian highlights the transformative power of honesty and authenticity, and why being real before God and others can change everything.

Don’t miss this episode—it’s a conversation every man (and those who love them) needs to hear.

The impact a simple carpenter can make

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, we sit down with Vernon Burger, founder of His Voice Global, a ministry dedicated to raising up leaders among the vulnerable and transforming lives through a sustainable, whole-person approach.

Before God called him to lead this movement, Vernon’s life had no direction, and he wasn’t following Jesus. But everything changed when one man chose to invest in him—and now Vernon shares how the power of discipleship, honesty with God, and the truth of Emmanuel – God with us can radically transform lives.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

The journey from lost to leading with purpose
Why vulnerability and honesty with God bring true freedom
How His Voice Global is making an eternal impact in Africa
The importance of raising leaders who carry the mission forward

If you’ve ever wondered about your impact or what it means to live as a child of God, this conversation is for you.

AI’s Greatest Weakness

Known Legacy Ministries — Thu, 01 May 2025 12:57:20 +0000

AI is changing the world, no doubt about it. From automation to algorithms, it can do some incredible things—but it also has a glaring weakness. No, we’re not talking about Hollywood-style world domination from I, Robot, The Matrix, or Terminator. There’s a deeper flaw—one that highlights a powerful truth for anyone following Jesus.

This week, the guys unpack the limitations of artificial intelligence and why real, human connection is still irreplaceable—especially in our walk with Christ
