Britt Redman: Back From Hell and Into the End Zone

Six surgeries. Nearly eighty pounds lost. And a touchdown that deserves its own damn movie. Britt Redman was a high school wide receiver in the middle of a playoff run when advanced testicular cancer turned his world upside down. Football gave way to chemotherapy, operating rooms, and the brutal work of getting through another day. After everything his body endured, returning to the field would have been remarkable. Britt made it all the way back to the end zone. This week, Ben sits down with Britt and his father, former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl champion Chris Redman, for a comeback story with considerably more at stake than a scoreboard. They explore the terror of the diagnosis, the faith and family that helped carry them through treatment, and what happens when a dad who has faced NFL defenses encounters something he can’t beat with a better play call. Along the way, Ben connects Britt’s story to medieval warrior king Baldwin IV, and the Redmans discuss Grit Like Britt, the foundation bringing gaming consoles—and some much-needed escape—to kids facing cancer.
