Behind every healed heart is a story of radical forgiveness and God's redeeming love.

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with John Smithbaker, founder of Fathers in the Field Ministry—a powerful outreach that pairs godly men with fatherless boys to introduce them to their Heavenly Father and guide them toward healing.

John vulnerably shares his own transformative journey: growing up abandoned by his earthly father, wrestling with deep wounds, coming to Christ, and ultimately choosing forgiveness—which set him free and sparked the vision for Fathers in the Field. He now equips men to walk through the same process of forgiveness, releasing bitterness and stepping into the fullness God intends.

If you've been hurt by an absent or broken father figure, struggle with unforgiveness, or want to help others find freedom, this raw and redemptive conversation is for you. It's a reminder that no wound is beyond God's healing grace.

Loved sitting down with David Smallbone on the Known Legacy Podcast, to talk about Unsung Hero — the power of perseverance, family, faith, and trusting God when the dream feels impossible. His story is a reminder that the quiet sacrifices no one sees often shape the greatest impact.

You may also be familiar of his family, including his children of Grammy, award-winning artist, Rebecca St. James and Joel and Luke Smallbone from the band for King & Country.

Don’t miss this powerful conversation.
