Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

Episode 60: “Wrecked for More” with Pastor Phill Tague
“Wrecked for More” with Pastor Phill Tague
This episode will challenge what you think you know about calling, grace, and leadership.
What happens when God doesn’t just save you—but stops you?
Phill Tague knows. He was the guy with all the answers, all the hustle, and all the wrong direction—until God called him out, broke through his pride, and gave him something far more dangerous: purpose.
Before Ransom Church.
Before preaching.
Before the platform.
He was a modern-day Saul. And this is the story of how he became a bold Paul.
In Episode 60 of Fortitude, Phill Tague sits down with Heather and Amos to unpack:
- How getting wrecked by grace launched his real ministry
- The trauma, questions, and truth that surfaced from being adopted—and how it shaped his identity as a leader
- What spiritual surrender actually looks like when it’s not sanitized or staged
- Why men in ministry often fake strength—and how God uses brokenness instead
- The heart behind his new book Jesus Be the Centerfold—a raw critique of “airbrushed Christianity” and a call back to covenant faith
If you’re done with feel-good faith, Sunday showmanship, or surface-level leadership—this one’s for you.
This episode is a gut-check. A truth bomb. A grace collision.
