Restoring Adam

by Aaron Vassar and Marcus Schroeder

Season 1

Ben Zeisloft- Exposing the Compromise within the Pro-Life Establishment

In this episode we're joined by journalist and author Ben Zeisloft to talk about his newest book, Forsakers of the Fatherless. We dig into uncomfortable questions Christians need to ask about the pro-life movement, the spiritual rot beneath our cultural collapse, and the God given glory of the family. We also explore how men can take their anger over the state of the world and channel in onto something righteous, grounded, and good. This conversation pulls no punches, but it also offers hope. Because while the world is falling apart, Christ still calls men to build. Click here for Ben's new book: https://press.founders.org/shop/forsakers-of-the-fatherless/ and use "RESTORE" for 10% OFF!

Aaron Vassar- From Ashes to Adam: Aaron's Full Testimony and the Story Behind Restoring Adam

This is the origin story. In this extended episode, Marcus flips the mic and interviews Aaron to unpack the full story behind Restoring Adam. For the first time, Aaron shares the raw, uncut journey, from a fatherless, angry boy caught in addiction, crime, and deep confusion to a man redeemed by Christ and rebuilt for purpose. This isn't a highlight reel. It's 3.5 hours of unfiltered honesty. Brokenness. Pain. And Mercy. If you've ever wondered what's driving this movement...this is it. It's the testimony behind the mission. And it's proof that God doesn't just clean up men. He resurrects them.

Kevin Cronister-Hunting Predators. Sex Trafficking and Pornography

There are wolves behind the screen. Real ones. And they’re not hiding in the dark anymore. They’re playing the same games your kids play. Using the same apps. Waiting for silence, distraction, and an open door. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Detective Kevin Cronister of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force in the Kansas City metro. A former SWAT leader, certified forensic examiner, and brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu, Kevin brings street-level clarity to one of the most urgent threats facing families today. We talk about: • How predators actually groom children online • Why pornography is deeply connected to sex crimes • The danger of absent or distracted fathers • What truly protects children in a digital age Kevin also shares from his experience leading Guardian Training Solutions and cohosting the Screen Guardians Podcast, where he equips parents and professionals to stand in the gap. This is not just another parenting episode. It’s a call to arms.

Round Table -Democracy, Feminism, and the Death of the West

In this round table episode, Marcus and I are joined again by Jonathan Storms for a conversation that's equal parts fun and fiery. From political distinctives to cultural curveballs, we take the scenic route, cracking jokes, pushing buttons, and having a blast while we're at it. It's a reminder that iron sharpens iron, even when it's laughing. Grab your coffee, or your combat boots, and join us at the table.

Rusty Thomas - The Death of a Son, Dispensationalism, and the World of Demons

Rusty Thomas has walked through the kind of fire that breaks most men. In this conversation, we talk about the cost of obedience, the reality of spiritual warfare, and what it means to raise up sons who won't bow to the idols of this age. This is not theory. This is war. And it begins in your own home. Listen in as we press into grief, grit, and the godly resolve required to stand firm, no matter the cost.

KJ Behler - Recovering Covenantal Education

Government education is not neutral. It is intentionally hostile to Christ. In this episode, we sit down with elder and headmaster KJ Behler to expose the myth of neutrality in public schools and to call Christian parents back to their God-given responsibility: to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4) We unpack what's actually being taught in the classroom, the spiritual cost of outsourcing education, and why the command to disciple your children means government school is off the table. If you've been on the fence about Christian education this conversation will make it plain: your children will be like their teacher. Who are you letting teach them?

Ross Harris and Chandler Givler - Masculinity, Sports, and Fatherhood

In this episode , we sit down with Ross Harris, founder of Woodland FC and Chandler Givler, team captain, to talk about sports, competition, and the deeper lessons behind the games we love.

We also talk about mentorship, coaching, and the impact sports can have for beyond the field. Note; This episode contains occasional strong language and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

In this conversation we bring Jonathan Storms on to join us as we dive into how our shared convictions inform every aspect of our lives-from personal conduct to our leadership in every sphere of influence.

Discover how clear doctrinal identity empowers us to lead with integrity and purpose in a world that desperately needs authentic, biblically-rooted leadership.
