About Redeemed Through His Blood

Redeemed Through His Blood is a Latter-day Saint faith-and-recovery show centered on the healing power of Jesus Christ. It does not treat redemption as an abstract doctrine. The show keeps returning to the places where belief meets fatigue, shame, avoidance, resentment, grief, and the fear of being too late spiritually. Its strongest episodes feel like conversations held at the kitchen table after a hard week. A question opens the door, then the speakers follow it into scripture, recovery practice, family history, and personal confession. Scott Durfee is a repeated voice, with Deborah Durfee regularly alongside him, and the dynamic is warm, candid, and relational. They can laugh, pause, repeat themselves, correct course, and still keep the focus on Christ. That informality is part of the appeal. The show is not trying to sound like a lesson manual. It is trying to make room for people who know the right words but still cannot feel close to God. Recovery language gives the series much of its shape. Episodes connect Alcoholics Anonymous steps with Latter-day Saint ideas of repentance, moral inventory, surrender, grace, and conversion. Nick and Crystal appear in that recovery-step thread, bringing concrete examples of fear, resentment, family adjustment, and the need to become honest with God. Other episodes widen into relationships, adult children, divorce, gratitude, Holy Week, and the pain of believing that a life has missed its spiritual window. Carmen Durfee's episode brings heavier biographical material, including adoption, early loss, and the discovery that she was the product of rape. The show handles those subjects through a theological lens of worth rather than spectacle. Its recurring move is to name the hard thing plainly, then ask what Christ can reveal or heal there. That makes it useful for listeners who want religious encouragement without denial. It is intimate, repetitive in a purposeful way, and deeply invested in the idea that brokenness can become a place of conversion.

Made for: For Latter-day Saint listeners drawn to recovery-informed conversations about Christ, shame, surrender, family pain, and spiritual discouragement. It especially fits people who want faith discussed through lived struggle rather than polished certainty.

What sets it apart: The show blends explicit Latter-day Saint testimony with recovery-step language and unusually candid personal examples. Its distinct strength is the way doctrine, recovery language, relationships, and emotional honesty all meet in the same room.

In their own words

Too many of us see redemption like a spiritual bank account—make deposits through good works and borrow from Jesus when we fall short. But that’s not how His grace works.The truth is breathtakingly simple: we make no deposits, and we need no loans. Jesus paid the price in full—completely and personally—for each of us. Redemption isn’t something we earn. It’s something we receive.In Redeemed Through His Blood, we explore the real power of Jesus Christ’s Atonement—not as a backstop for our best efforts, but as the source of healing, peace, and transformati...

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

S5 E20 When You Don't Feel HimApr 15, 2026

When faith feels distant, the conversation keeps asking what steadies you anyway.

It opens in spiritual numbness, with a blunt admission that the hosts are not in the right headspace spiritually, mentally, emotionally, or physically.

S5 E19 What Are You Avoiding? Learning to Be Honest with GodApr 8, 2026

A calm reminder that fear often sits beneath avoidance, and honest self-examination can begin there.

This episode treats avoidance as more fear than indifference, and it handles that fear with a humane tone instead of shame. It starts with an inward turn, then settles into a concrete account of resentment, family strain, and the discipline of inventory before returning to what…

S5 E18 Holy Week -Where Everything ChangedApr 1, 2026

A reverent Holy Week reflection that makes Christ's love feel personal.

This episode treats Holy Week as the point where history and personal faith meet, and that is where it lands best. It stays centered on atonement and redemption, returning to the idea that Christ's love reaches even Judas and Peter while still speaking to listeners who have gone…

S3 E70 He Is Risen - EasterApr 11, 2025

Holy Week told like a real conversation, not a lecture.

Scott Durfee and David Durfee move through Holy Week with steady attention to the calendar: Tuesday's teaching, Wednesday's hush, and Thursday's Passover preparations.

S3 E66 Redeemed and Renewed: Real Change Only In and Through ChristMar 7, 2025

A reflective talk about being changed through gratitude, faith, and Christ's yoke.

Scott and David Durfee keep the focus on change that starts with gratitude and faith, then shows up in ordinary choices. They connect that idea to a granddaughter coming home from a mission, the thought that missionaries can help others while being changed themselves, and the…
