Redeemed & Restored
Welcome to the Redeemed and Restored Podcast, a powerful journey of hope, transformation, and faith. Host Michael Noland shares the raw and unfiltered story of his own battle with addiction, which spanned over 30 years from the age of 12. Through his personal testimony of struggle, pain, and ultimate victory, he offers listeners a beacon of hope and proof that radical change is possible—no matter how impossible the circumstances may seem.
In each episode, Michael not only recounts his miraculous and life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ, which set him free from addiction nearly two years ago, but also invites others to share their incredible stories of redemption. From those who have faced similar struggles and also found freedom, the podcast features powerful testimonies of healing and transformation.
Above all, Redeemed and Restored aims to inspire and encourage listeners, showing them that no matter how deep their struggle or how far they’ve fallen, change is possible. It is rooted in the belief that true restoration comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, the only solution to our deepest brokenness. Tune in for a reminder that redemption is real, hope is alive, and healing is always within reach.

What did Jesus really mean when He said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments"? In this episode of the Redeemed & Restored Podcast, we take a careful look at John 14 and allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. Rather than pointing believers back to the Law of Moses, the Apostle John tells us exactly what Christ's commandment is in 1 John 3:23: believe in the name of Jesus Christ and love one another. Together we'll explore how Romans, Galatians, and the rest of the New Testament consistently defend the true Gospel against legalism while calling believers to a life transformed by grace.
We'll also examine the two major false teachings that threatened the early church, the Judaizers who tried to add the Law to the Gospel, and the Gnostics who some of them rejected holy living altogether. Those same distortions are still alive today, but the answer has never changed. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. If you've ever wrestled with legalism, wondered what biblical obedience really looks like, or needed the reminder that freedom is found in Christ and not religious performance, this episode is for you.
