Redeemed Through His Blood

Most of us don’t avoid looking inward because we don’t care… we avoid it because we’re not sure what we’ll find if we do.In this episode, Scott, Deb, Nick, and Crystal explore what it really means to take an honest look at ourselves—not alone, but with God.Using Step 4 as a framework, they unpack how fear, resentment, and patterns can quietly block us from feeling God’s light—and why avoiding them only keeps us stuck.But this isn’t about shame, and it’s not about fixing everything overnight.It’s about discovering that when we bring God into the process, honesty leads to freedom—not fear.If you’ve ever felt hesitant to look inward… this episode is for you.Simple invitation: Take a few quiet minutes this week and ask: “Heavenly Father, what are You trying to show me about me right now?”Not to shame you… but to free you.

This episode takes us back to where it all began.In the middle of Holy Week, we’re revisiting the very first episode of Redeemed Through His Blood—a conversation that started with one simple truth:Everything begins here.From the Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane to His sacrifice on the cross and ultimate Resurrection, this week isn’t just something we study—it’s something we’re invited to live inside of.As you listen, consider the question that still echoes today:“What will you do with this Jesus?”If you’ve heard this before, you may hear it differently now. If you haven’t—this is the perfect place to begin.

At 51 years old, a single phone call uncovered a truth Carmen never saw coming—and forced her to rethink everything she believed about her life… and about God.In her book, Spaghetti, Lemonade and Finding Joy, Carmen shares the deeper story behind that moment—and the years that led up to it.After a childhood marked by loss, instability, and a constant feeling of being overlooked, she spent years trying to earn her place—at home, in relationships, and even with God.Deep down, she believed something many of us quietly wonder:What if God forgot me?In this episode, we talk about:growing up feeling unseen and unwantedthe exhausting need to earn love and approvalhow God often reaches us through other peopleand the moment everything changedThis isn’t just Carmen’s story.It’s for anyone who has ever questioned their worth… or wondered where God was in their life.You may feel forgotten. But you’re not.

Even the people we love most can hurt us the deepest. In this episode, Scott and Deb explore why relationships are often so complicated—and how the Atonement of Jesus Christ can change the way we seek validation, respond to pain, and show up for the people in our lives. If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or stuck in a cycle you can’t fix, this conversation points to the only relationship that can truly heal the rest.

What happens when you’ve done everything you know how to do… and it’s still not enough?Whether it’s your life, your habits, your relationships—or your recovery—there comes a point where trying harder just stops working.In this episode, Scott and Deb walk through what it actually means to let go—not as a concept, but as a lived experience. They talk about control, fear, and the quiet shift that happens when you stop running the show and start trusting God.If you’re exhausted from carrying it all, this conversation might be exactly what you need.

You know you should feel gratitude… but what if you don’t?In this episode, Scott and Deb talk about what it looks like to start where you actually are—not where you think you should be—and how gratitude quietly becomes the beginning of desire and connection with Jesus Christ.If you’ve been feeling distant, numb, or just going through the motions, this conversation will meet you there.

Ever feel like you’re spiritually late—like you should be further along by now? In this episode, Scott and Deb talk candidly about comparison, the “facade of perfection,” and the painful stories we tell ourselves when life doesn’t match the ideal. Using John 21, they explore Jesus’ simple redirect to Peter—“What is that to thee? Follow thou me.” If you’ve been measuring your discipleship by someone else’s timeline, this conversation will help you trade urgency for peace and refocus on the only thing that ultimately matters: your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Have you ever felt like God just… isn’t there?Not gone completely—but distant. Quiet. Easy to miss.In this episode, Scott and Deb talk about what it looks like to notice Jesus in everyday life—especially when life feels ordinary, busy, or even heavy.They share simple but powerful shifts that help you recognize Him again—not in dramatic moments, but in the small, real ones.If you’ve felt spiritually numb or disconnected, this episode will help you see what might already be right in front of you.

Scott and Deb are joined by Nick and Crystal for a powerful conversation on Step Two of recovery: “Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”Together, they explore why healing doesn’t come from trying harder, but from learning to trust God differently—not as a taskmaster to fear, but as a loving Father who finishes what we cannot. Through scripture, recovery experience, and clinical insight, this episode reframes recovery, faith, and repentance as relational, not transactional.Whether you’re navigating addiction, fear, uncertainty, or the weight of life, this episode invites you to consider a deeper question: Can God be trusted with what’s broken in me?

You’ve made progress. You’ve tried. You’ve even changed some things…So why does it still feel like you’re stuck?In this episode, Scott and Deb explore the difference between behavior change and true transformation. They talk about why effort alone doesn’t always bring freedom—and how misunderstanding grace can keep you cycling in the same patterns.This is a conversation about what Christ actually came to do—and how that changes everything.If you’re tired of taking two steps forward and one step back, don’t skip this one.

You’ve confessed it. You’ve prayed. You’ve tried to move forward…So why does the weight still linger?In this episode, Scott and Deb take on one of the most personal questions we ask: How do I actually feel forgiven?They explore the difference between being forgiven and feeling forgiven, and what might be getting in the way. This is an honest conversation about shame, grace, and what it really means to receive what Christ has already offered.If you’re still carrying something you thought you let go of, this episode matters.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb talk honestly about seasons when life doesn’t feel wrong—it just feels unorganized. Moving beyond last week’s conversation about spiritual drift, they explore what happens when change is sudden, clarity is absent, and control slips away. Drawing on the Creation story, lived experience, and the Savior’s invitation to “look unto me in every thought,” they reflect on how God works with chaos rather than discarding it—and how Jesus doesn’t wait for things to make sense before He comes close. This is a conversation for anyone sitting in uncertainty, learning to trust that disorder is not disqualification, and discovering that peace can exist even before resolution does.

You don’t need to feel more to be faithful. You don’t need constant confirmation to be close to Christ. And silence does not mean distance.This week, instead of measuring your discipleship by emotion or progress, notice where your attention is going—and gently bring it back to Jesus Christ. Because what we look at grows. And when we look to Him, even quietly, grace begins to reframe how we experience the weight of mortality.You’re not failing. You’re not behind. And you’re not alone.00:00 — Deb opens: Attention, weariness, and inward driftDeb introduces the idea that when life feels heavy or quiet, our attention naturally turns inward—not because we’re failing, but because we’re human.02:45 — The Fall and spiritual self-monitoringScott introduces the idea that one of the quieter effects of the Fall is constant self-evaluation rather than rebellion.05:30 — “Why don’t I feel the Spirit?”Examples of how self-monitoring shows up in prayer, sacrament meeting, scripture study, and comparison.09:40 — Weariness is not abandonmentA clear return to last week’s message: silence and heaviness are not signs of distance from Christ.12:20 — Symptoms vs relationshipScott contrasts symptom-focused spirituality with relationship-centered discipleship.15:10 — Gethsemane: strength instead of reliefA reframing of Gethsemane—Jesus’ burden was not removed, but strength was added.18:45 — “Am I willing to stay?”Deb speaks to quiet faith, showing up without emotional confirmation, and the courage of staying.22:10 — Gratitude: what it is notScott clearly defines what gratitude is not: forced optimism, minimizing pain, or spiritual cheerleading.25:00 — Gratitude as alignmentGratitude reframed as noticing presence rather than pretending relief.27:30 — Practical reframing in real lifeExamples of gratitude that sound like: “It didn’t spiral today.” “I made it through.” “I felt held, even quietly.”30:30 — What we look at growsThe core thesis repeated and grounded: attention shapes experience.33:00 — Closing invitationA gentle invitation to stop measuring discipleship by emotion and to notice where Christ already is.

What do you do when you believe in Jesus Christ—but don’t feel close to Him? When the doctrine still makes sense, the invitations are familiar, and yet your heart feels heavy or stalled? In this episode, Scott and Deb talk candidly about faithful discouragement, emotional distance, and the quiet struggle of trying to “receive Christ” when it doesn’t feel easy or inspiring. Drawing from Alma 7, the Savior’s experience in Gethsemane, insights on grace from Adam Miller, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s reassurance that we are never too far gone, this conversation reframes grace as Christ staying with us before He changes us. If you’ve ever wondered whether your weariness disqualifies you—or if Christ still comes close in the quiet—this episode is for you.

As Christmas fades and a new year approaches, many of us instinctively turn inward—evaluating, resolving, and quietly pressuring ourselves to do better next time. In this episode, Scott and Deb offer a different invitation. Instead of carrying the weight of change alone, they explore what it means to begin again through Jesus Christ. Drawing on Elder Patrick Kearon’s powerful reminder that the Savior offers real new beginnings—“even you”—they contrast self-improvement with redemption, willpower with grace, and resolutions with relationship. This conversation is for everyone who feels tired, discouraged, or afraid of repeating the past, and for anyone who needs the reminder that new beginnings are not symbolic ideas—they are doctrinal realities, available now, because Jesus Christ lives.

Christmas often feels fragile—like one unmet expectation or imperfect moment can undo it all. But the first Christmas wasn’t ideal, and joy came anyway. In this episode, Scott and Deb reflect on how expectations can quietly steal peace and why Christ didn’t wait for calm, order, or perfect conditions to come. This conversation is an invitation to stop managing outcomes, notice where Jesus already is, and receive Him as He comes—right in the middle of the glorious mess.

What if the most life-changing gift you’ll ever receive isn’t something wrapped—but Someone given? In this Christmas episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Deb opens our season with a tender reflection sparked while listening to a simple Christmas song—an impression that redirected her heart toward the very first gift God ever offered His children: His Son.Together, we explore why the Father’s gift wasn’t merely an event in Bethlehem, but a relationship offered to each of us right now. We talk about what it means to receive Him—not as an abstract belief, but as the living, present Redeemer who still enters real lives, real wounds, and real stories today.If your December feels busy, heavy, or hollow… this conversation will help you come back to the Gift Himself.

In this episode, Scott and Deb share a very real, very recent experience from sacrament meeting—realizing that life had gotten “a little too horizontal.” Between family worries, recovery relationships, expectations, holiday pressure, and performance mentality, Scott found himself giving everyone his attention except the One who can actually heal him.Using the imagery of the cross—horizontal beam for our relationships with others and vertical post for our relationship with Deity—they explore what it really means to “strengthen the vertical.” They talk about John 15’s invitation to abide in Christ, Doctrine and Covenants 6’s call to “look unto [Him] in every thought,” the AA journey of surrender, and Deb’s powerful campfire story about giving Christ what we most want to hide.If you’re feeling stretched, noisy inside, or spiritually “untethered,” this conversation is an invitation to stop trying to achieve Jesus and instead learn how to receive Him—especially in the middle of the Christmas crazies.

ometimes the noise of life makes it hard to notice anything good… until we pause long enough to see it. This week, Deb and I sat still for a moment — and in that pause, we found gratitude we didn’t expect.Gratitude for healing in our family. Gratitude for a calmer heart. Gratitude for the Savior who walks with us through every effect of the Fall.And if your pause feels heavy this year — if you feel lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure where you fit — hear this:You are not forgotten. You are not failing. You are not alone.Start with one blessing. Just one. That’s where gratitude begins.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb explore the deep, often difficult work of forgiveness—the kind that doesn’t come easily, isn’t always reciprocated, and sometimes feels impossible. Building on last week’s interview with Nick and Crystal, they walk through real stories of heartache, betrayal, and miraculous healing, including a moving retelling of Corrie ten Boom’s powerful encounter with a former prison guard. Together, Scott and Deb discuss what forgiveness is not, how Christ carries the emotional weight we cannot lift, and why true forgiveness frees our hearts long before it changes anyone else’s. Tune in for hope, honesty, and the Savior’s power made personal.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb sit down with Nick and Crystal to share a story that honestly should not have worked out—at least not on paper. Nick grew up in “Happy Valley, UT” served in the Church, and still spiraled into years of addiction and alcoholism that tore his family apart and ended in divorce. Crystal was left to pick up the pieces: raising kids, going back to school, working any job she could find, and learning how to breathe again while feeling like she was drowning. Nick, meanwhile, sank so deep into addiction that he fully expected to die or end up in prison. Then God stepped into both of their stories—through detox, The Other Side Academy, AA, the big book, the Divine Gift of Forgiveness, and a new, personal relationship with Jesus Christ that had nothing to do with box-checking and everything to do with grace.Seven years after their divorce, against every earthly odd, Nick and Crystal are remarried—and they are painfully honest about what it took to get there: surrender, gut-level honesty, daily reliance on Jesus Christ, and a long, messy process of forgiveness that even included welcoming another child from Nick’s “wreckage” into Crystal’s circle of love. They talk about what it feels like to be the addicted spouse and what it feels like to be the betrayed one trying to survive, pay the bills, and not poison the kids against their dad. Crystal shares how God taught her to “quit swimming” and trust Him in the dark, and Nick testifies that the best place to start is when “the fight has been beat out of you.” If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late, too broken, or too far gone—whether you’re the one in addiction or the one trying to hold everything together—this conversation will whisper to your soul: you are not alone, and Jesus is willing to get His hands dirty in your story too.

In this deeply personal and hope-filled episode, Scott and Deb open up about Scott’s 27-year journey of sobriety and redemption through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. With honesty and humility, Scott shares how grace has replaced guilt, how surrender became strength, and how faith has transformed recovery into a daily walk with the Savior. Together, Scott and Deb explore the power of hope, the beauty of second chances, and the truth that no one is beyond Christ’s reach. Whether you’re facing addiction, shame, or simply seeking renewed peace, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—one day, one prayer, one act of faith at a time.

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Deb open their hearts about grief, grace, and the Savior’s power to turn even the hardest parts of our story into something holy. Deb shares the sacred experience behind “Grammy Day” — a personal journey from sorrow to celebration that began with placing a child for adoption at 17. Together, they reflect on how the Savior gives “beauty for ashes” (Isaiah 61:3) and strength in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).Scott weaves in the doctrine of enabling and strengthening grace, reminding listeners that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is not only redemptive but transformative. Through scriptures like Ether 12:27, Alma 7:11–13, and John 14:27, they testify that the Savior meets us in our brokenness — not after we’ve cleaned it up.This is a story of redemption, of turning grief into gratitude, and of finding peace that the world cannot give. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can make something beautiful out of your pain, this conversation is for you.

In this powerful replay from Season 1, we revisit an unforgettable conversation with Nate Moller—a story of deep pain, divine intervention, and the healing power of Jesus Christ.Nate opens up about his troubled youth, addiction, loss, and the night he nearly ended his life—until a single, sacred moment changed everything. Through Ether 12:27 and the Savior’s mercy, Nate discovered what it truly means to turn around—to repent, to hope, and to be made whole.As the world reels from heartbreak and uncertainty, this episode reminds us that the Savior still calms stormy seas—both around us and within us.Originally released in July 2022, this Season 1 interview continues to uplift hearts and strengthen faith.

Life gets messy—shoulder surgeries, fear, uncertainty, and the weight of a fallen world. But what if repentance isn’t about indictment and guilt, but about relationship and invitation?In this week’s conversation, Scott and Deb open up about struggles, discouragement, and the relentless tug-of-war between despair and hope. Through scripture, personal stories, and Elder Holland’s powerful reminder that we are never beyond the reach of divine love, they explore how repentance is less about shame and more about turning—turning toward Jesus Christ, who meets us in the middle of our mess.Whether you’ve misunderstood repentance in the past or you’re longing for peace in tumultuous times, this episode offers a refreshing and hope-filled perspective on what it really means to come unto Christ.

Faith is rarely neat. It doesn’t always look like steady confidence—it often looks like wrestling, doubt, and raw honesty before God.In this episode, Scott and Deb share their personal journey of taking inventory, facing triggers, and discovering how faith grows in real life—not in perfection, but in brokenness. With stories of recovery, family miracles, and scripture study that cut straight to the heart, they explore the question: How do we find faith when it feels impossible?This conversation is vulnerable, practical, and full of hope—a reminder that Christ meets us right where we are, even in the middle of our struggle.

Some days we drift. Some days we’re off the beam. And some days we remember that Jesus doesn’t ask us to earn His love—He asks us to come to Him. In this episode, Scott and Deb get candid about unlearning old beliefs, wrestling with shame, and finding joy in daily repentance. Along the way, they share the freeing truth that salvation rests on Christ’s merits, not ours.

In this heartfelt episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb explore the deeply personal and profoundly hopeful reality of Christ’s conditional blessings—those gifts of the Atonement that come as we align with Him. Through stories both tender and humorous (including a physical therapy mix-up that turned into a gospel conversation), they remind us how our identity shapes the way we see the world and how Christ’s compensation for life’s unfairness is both real and personal. From tangible comfort in times of loss to the quiet, healing influence of the Holy Ghost, this episode invites listeners to recognize and receive the Savior’s enabling, strengthening, and healing power.The conversation moves from scripture-rich teaching to real-life application, covering themes like redemption from sin, strength to endure, compensation for unfairness, healing and comfort, and the transformation and sanctification that come through Christ. Whether you’re in the middle of life’s mess, longing for spiritual rest, or seeking deeper conversion, Scott and Deb testify that the Savior meets us right where we are—offering hope, peace, and the promise of becoming holy through Him.

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Deb explore the enabling and compensatory blessings of Jesus Christ’s Atonement. Building on last week’s discussion of redemption from sin, they dive into the power of honest repentance—including the vulnerability of opening our “sealed rooms”—and how Christ strengthens and transforms us through grace. With deeply personal stories of addiction recovery, learning disabilities, and unfair suffering, they testify that the Savior meets us in our mess, not after we’ve cleaned it up. You’ll be invited to consider where Jesus has made your weakness strong and how He compensates you for your undeserved pain.This episode is a companion for anyone who’s ever felt not enough—and needs to be reminded that they are not alone, and never beyond the reach of Christ’s healing, enabling, and redeeming love.

What do you do when the damage can’t be undone? In this raw and real episode, Scott and Deb talk about those painful moments when sin, mistakes, or even things outside our control cause permanent consequences—and how Jesus Christ can still bring wholeness. They explore the Savior’s ability not just to forgive, but to repair—to heal emotions, soften hearts, and make relationships meaningful again, even when the original “problem” remains.Using powerful personal stories, vivid analogies, and scriptural anchors, they testify that Christ's Atonement isn't just for spiritual cleanliness—it's for emotional and relational healing too. You’ll hear about parenting regrets, generational wounds, and how we sometimes cling to our own shame rather than trust the Savior’s outstretched hands. This episode is a lifeline for anyone who feels stuck in what they can’t fix. The Savior still can.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb explore one of the most hope-filled doctrines of the gospel—the unconditional effects of Jesus Christ’s Atonement. These are the blessings given freely: the sustaining strength, healing grace, and divine compensation extended even when we’re unaware, undeserving, or unready. With clarity and compassion, they unpack how Christ’s love reaches into every soul, not because of who we are—but because of who He is.This conversation lifts burdens and quiets doubts, especially for those who feel like they haven’t “earned” Christ’s help. Scott and Deb testify that Jesus’s Atonement isn’t just reserved for the repentant—it’s at work in the trauma we didn’t cause, in the wounds we didn’t choose, and in the aching places we don’t yet know how to surrender. If you’ve ever wondered whether He’s helping you—even when you’re not doing “all the things”—this episode will answer with a resounding yes.

What if the Atonement of Jesus Christ is already at work in your life—even before you’ve changed, even before you believed it was real? In this episode, Scott and Deb explore the unconditional power of Christ’s Atonement: how it shows up in broken families, quiet compensations for unjust suffering, and moments of strength we didn’t earn. This is grace not as reward, but as rescue—extending across every life, reaching into every kind of pain.With stories of adoption, mental illness, trauma, and triumph, this episode opens our eyes to the quiet ways Jesus is already ministering to us, often before we even recognize it. He lifts where we didn’t know we had fallen, compensates for what life unfairly took, and strengthens us in ways we only understand in hindsight. This isn’t just about forgiveness—it’s about being seen, held, and healed by a Savior who has already chosen you.

What does real faith look like—and how can it become a transforming power in your life? In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb dive deep into the doctrine of faith in Jesus Christ. Far from being passive belief, faith is portrayed here as a relational, responsive trust that moves us to act—even when we don’t see the outcome. Drawing on personal experiences, scriptures, and gospel teachings, they explore what it means to trust the Savior enough to move forward in uncertainty.Scott and Deb reflect on the idea that true faith isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about becoming. As we choose to believe Christ, follow Him, and act on His promises, our faith opens the door to His enabling, strengthening, and transforming grace. This episode will help you see faith not as a checklist item, but as a way of life that connects you to divine power, especially when the path is unclear.

In this episode, Scott and Deb go beyond the outward signs of rebellion to explore the roots beneath: fear and pride. While we often focus on the visible “fruit” of sin, the Savior is gently inviting us to dig deeper. Fear isolates us, pride hardens us, and both quietly keep us from receiving the healing and connection we long for.Through scripture, story, and soul-level honesty, Scott and Deb invite us to recognize these hidden roots and begin to surrender them. This isn’t just about behavior change—it’s about trusting Christ enough to let Him transform what lies beneath.

In this powerful season opener of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb take us deep into the heart of our fallen condition—and the Savior’s invitation to let go of the things that keep us from Him. Drawing from Alma 23 and personal reflection, they explore what it means to bury not just obvious sins, but the subtle, spiritual weapons of rebellion that linger in our lives: pride, fear, resentment, control, shame, self-condemnation, and more.This conversation is raw, honest, and hopeful. It’s about recognizing our resistance to God's grace and learning to lay it down—not through willpower alone, but by surrendering to Christ. If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, passivity, or pain that pulls you away from God, this episode will speak directly to your heart. Come join us as we learn to bury our weapons—and become new through Him.

In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode, Scott and Deb explore what it really means to live in a “fallen state”—and why understanding the Fall of Adam and Eve is essential to understanding Jesus Christ. Drawing from their personal journeys, recovery experiences, and scriptural insights, they discuss the difference between our divine trait and our mortal state, and how the Savior meets us in our brokenness to sculpt our identity. With tender reflections on repentance, surrender, and the role of agency, they remind us that the Fall was not a mistake, but part of a divine plan—designed to lead us back to Him.

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Deb dive deep into the doctrine of the Fall of Adam and Eve—not as a story of shame, but as the essential backdrop to healing, growth, and redemption. With warmth and real-life vulnerability, they explore how understanding the Fall reframes our view of mortality, weakness, temptation, and pain. You’ll hear about spiritual identity, the "gift of desperation," and how remembering who we truly are can shift how we experience our most difficult days.They also discuss personal experiences with addiction recovery, emotional strain, and road rage—yes, road rage!—as they unpack how knowing the plan of salvation helps us show more compassion to ourselves and others. If you've ever wondered why life is so hard, or if you're feeling too far gone, this episode gently reminds us that our struggles are part of God's plan—and that His plan is to redeem, restore, and never reject us. You're not alone. You’re not disqualified. You’re just in the middle of the plan—and there’s hope through Him.

In this powerful episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb Durfey dive deep into the doctrine of spiritual identity—who we really are and whose we really are. They explore how truly knowing that we are literal sons and daughters of Heavenly Parents changes everything about how we experience mortality. From the war in heaven and foreordination to the veil of forgetfulness and the role of the accuser, this episode sheds light on why remembering our divine heritage is not just comforting—it’s transformative.With touching personal stories, heartfelt testimonies, and foundational scriptures like Abraham 3 and Revelation 12, Scott and Deb invite listeners to reclaim their eternal identity, resist the lies of the adversary, and view their trials through a celestial lens. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of inadequacy, shame, or confusion about your worth, this episode will help you see yourself through heaven’s eyes—and remind you why the Savior’s Atonement is not only for the fallen world, but also for the forgotten truth of who you’ve always been.

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Debra open up about the heavy realities of addiction, grief, self-doubt, and the unseen struggles so many silently carry. They reflect on how easy it is to feel isolated, broken, or "too far gone," and they testify that Jesus Christ meets us right where we are — not after we’ve cleaned ourselves up. Through personal stories, raw emotion, and powerful scriptures like Matthew 11 and Isaiah 61, they remind us that the Savior’s embrace isn’t delayed until we're perfect. It’s extended because we are already His.Together, Scott and Debra invite listeners to come to Christ in three simple ways: pray (even if it’s a messy, desperate prayer), feast on even a single verse of scripture, and try again — minute by minute if needed. They share how Christ’s atonement offers real healing for every kind of pain and every kind of weakness. Wherever you are today — broken, hopeful, questioning, overwhelmed — you’re welcome here. There’s always hope through Him.

In this powerful episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, we dive deep into one of the most critical and hopeful truths of the restored gospel: what the Atonement of Jesus Christ actually provides. As we begin to wrap up this season, Scott and David take time to reflect on the key teachings that have shaped the podcast from the beginning, focusing particularly on the blessings that come because of Christ’s redemptive power.Drawing from both scripture and personal experience, they unpack the foundational truths behind the Fall, our universal need for a Redeemer, and the sweeping reach of the Atonement—not just to redeem, but to enable, strengthen, and sanctify.

Join us for a candid and heartfelt discussion about what it means to be redeemed through His blood.

Hey there, everybody! Welcome to another episode of Redeemed Through His Blood. I’m Scott Durfey, joined as always by Uncle David Durfey. Today, we’re diving into a conversation that’s been close to our hearts over the years—why we choose to stay. As we wrap up this series, we reflect on the experiences, doctrine, and personal revelations that have anchored us in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ll talk about the real struggles, the tough questions, and how our perspectives have deepened through the highs and lows of life.It’s been an incredible journey recording these episodes, and we’re grateful for all the feedback we receive—both the encouraging words and the challenges that push us to think deeper. Today, we’ll discuss the importance of staying intentional in our faith, how gratitude strengthens our testimony, and why true conversion is centered on Christ, not just culture. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts or wondered what keeps people committed to the gospel, stick around—we’re getting real about what it means to believe and belong. Let’s get started!
