A Father’s Legacy, a Son’s Redemption | The Iron Perspective with JD Denham 06
In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham sits down with the man who raised him—his father, Randy Denham—for a brutally honest, emotional conversation about fatherhood, legacy, addiction, and redemption.From growing up in a home for abused children to becoming a heroin addict, JD shares what it was like to spiral into darkness while his dad watched from the sidelines—praying, hoping, and holding the line. But this isn’t just about pain—it’s about the power of hope, tough love, and generational impact.Randy opens up about running children's homes, leading with integrity, and the moment he had to cut his son off—not out of anger, but out of love. Together, they walk through the moment JD called home to get sober and how that decision led to the life he has today.This is more than a podcast.It’s a blueprint for fathers.A message to addicts.And a testament to what happens when men lead with truth, strength, and grace.Chapters:00:00 - Intro & Opening Message00:29 - Family Life & Recent Struggles01:18 - Introducing My Father02:26 - Memories of Dad & Early Lessons04:46 - A Life of Service: Helping Abused Kids13:04 - The Call to Purpose16:05 - Facing Evil: The Reality of Child Abuse19:12 - Legacy Through Love & Faith21:19 - Watching Me Fall: A Father’s Pain26:22 - Tough Love & Letting Go30:08 - Rock Bottom & Crying Out to God32:52 - A Divine Encounter34:05 - The Call Home35:56 - Starting Over: The Road to Sobriety38:01 - Hope, Redemption & Purpose44:42 - Leading by Example as a Father47:31 - Final Reflections & A Legacy of Strength48:39 - Outro & Closing SongFollow Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jd_denham_fitFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/JD-Denham/61563578940850/My Peptides Website: https://www.warrior-makers.com/My Fitness & Diet Website: https://www.jddenhamfit.com/---------------------------------------------------------------------Intro Music: Pennywise - Let Us Hear Your Voice
