A New Voice for RezRootz

Righteous, Still Fighting

In this honest episode of RezRootz, Daniel Esplin joins the conversation to talk about pornography, lust, shame, and finding freedom in Christ. What began as a real brother-to-brother conversation on the road became a deeper discussion about hidden sin, confession, accountability, and identity. Daniel shares how early exposure affected the way he viewed love and relationships, and he points listeners back to the truth that lust and love are not the same. Together, the conversation reminds us that freedom does not come from hiding, pretending, or fighting temptation in our own strength. Freedom begins when we bring the struggle into the light, flee temptation, and believe who we are in Christ. This episode is not about shame. It is about hope, honesty, surrender, and learning to walk as someone made new in Jesus.

Mission Starts at Home

Kyle, AKA Tank, hosts his first RezRootz episode and sits down with Katy, a freshman from Ohio, to talk about her journey to Indigenous Bible College, her testimony, and her first Ministry Immersion Trip to Many Farms, Arizona. Together, they reflect on how God used canvassing, worship, service, and community to show that mission does not always begin far away. Sometimes, mission starts at home.

A New Voice for RezRootz

Emmanuel and Kai welcome Tank from Shiprock, New Mexico, as the newest voice on the podcast. In this episode, Tank shares his testimony, how God used painful moments to draw him closer, and what Mending the Soul has taught him about healing, freedom, and hope in Christ.
