Entrusted Podcast

Most people have already given up on their New Year's resolutions by the time you're watching this. 
In this episode, Ben, Brock, and Blayne get honest about what it actually looks like to try to build better habits, and how often we fall short. From budgeting to working out to being present at home, these are three guys figuring it out in real time, not experts with it all together.
Ben shares a framework from Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley that helped him think through his roles, his vision, and the small daily things that actually move the needle. The conversation drifts into fatherhood, marriage, the Sabbath, and one of the most convicting ideas in the episode — your family won't rise to your aspirations. They'll fall to your habits.
No formulas. Just honesty, some laughs, and a real challenge at the end.

Hoffman Rhyne grew up in rural Alabama and came to Auburn University with a faith that was more cultural than real. What followed was a complete transformation—one that led him from nominal belief to a life spent on mission, including nearly two decades of ministry in China.
In this episode of Entrusted, Hoffman shares how learning to read the Bible reshaped his life, how cross-cultural missions exposed blind spots in his own heart, and what the global Church has to teach us about following Christ faithfully.
We also dive into unity in the Church, the dangers of consumerism in American Christianity, and how believers should approach disagreements with humility and conviction.
Today, Hoffman serves with Christ Our Redeemer Seminary in Auburn, Alabama—a seminary built in partnership with local churches to train and send Christlike leaders for God’s global mission. His work is centered on equipping ordinary believers, not just pastors, to understand the Bible, live faithfully, and take part in the mission of God.
If you’ve ever wondered how to grow in your faith, understand Scripture more clearly, or live with greater purpose, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

What happens when everything you thought defined your life is suddenly taken away?
In this episode of Entrusted, Bo Bradford shares his powerful testimony of faith after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. After mysteriously losing his voice in 2025, doctors discovered a tumor pressing against the nerve controlling his vocal cord. Further scans revealed cancer that had already spread throughout his body.
In the middle of suffering, uncertainty, and a life-altering diagnosis, Bo says the Lord used this season to humble him, expose sin, deepen his faith, and restore his heart for worship. From battling a hidden addiction to leading worship again months later, Bo’s story is a reminder that God is sovereign even in suffering.
We talk about faith, repentance, suffering, fatherhood, the hope of the gospel, and what it means to truly trust God when the future is uncertain.
If this story encourages you, consider sharing it with someone who may need hope today.
Subscribe for more conversations about faith, vocation, and stewardship of the lives God has entrusted to us.
