Why I Changed the Name and Where This Podcast Is Going | The JD Denham Podcast 84
The JD Denham PodcastShow Notes
In this solo episode of The JD Denham Podcast, JD Denham officially introduces the new name and lays out exactly what this show is going to be about going forward. No guest, no agenda, just JD talking from the heart about where he came from, where he is now, and why he believes God has been building toward this all along.
JD talks about the revival he sees happening across the country, men who have been through hell, many of them covered in tattoos and old school punk rockers, who are picking up microphones and speaking boldly for Christ and masculinity in ways that connect with people the polished pulpit never could. He shares what it felt like to live in the dark side of heroin addiction and then encounter God at his weakest point, and how that moment set the foundation for everything he has built since.
He also gets into why he started five businesses without even realizing how it happened, why he believes the pocket of peace and bliss he felt early in sobriety has to be earned and protected over time, and what it means to live in a way where your actions match your words. He calls men out plainly on letting themselves go physically and morally, and makes no apologies for it.
One candle can light a million other candles and still stay lit. That is what this podcast is.
