That Man is Dead - the Podcast

By: Dennis Otto and Brock Thomas
  • Summary

  • Anyone can throw a punch. Anyone can sell a drug. Anyone can manufacture meth. None of it takes any special skill or strength or courage. There is no glory in these stories. This podcast is about what God has done and about what God is doing. Look into the eyes of that man in the mugshot and you'll see no life there. That man is dead.

    Jesus still raises the dead and that's all that matters. Stories about guns and drugs and the gangster life might be exciting, but they only lead back to darkness. Stories about Jesus lead us to the light. That Man is Dead is a story about Jesus. With passion and honesty, Dennis Otto shares how the Holy Spirit transformed an ornery ex-con into a joyful Servant of God.

  • That Man is Dead: Epilogue
    Feb 16 2025

    Initially, Dennis had a vision for the ministry, but he soon realized that God's plan was much larger than he could have imagined. He describes how he has worked with individuals in various settings: from jails and prisons to halfway houses, churches, and public speaking engagements. The work has expanded beyond just helping men struggling with addiction to also supporting their families and spreading the message of Christ's transformative power.

    The author expresses deep gratitude for the blessings in his life, particularly his wife, Patty, and his newfound relationships, including a close friendship with Patty’s father. He remains committed to sharing the light of Christ and offers an open invitation to those struggling with addiction to reach out to him for support. He assures readers that despite the challenges of addiction, there is always hope and that miracles are happening every day through God's work.

    The epilogue is a call for those affected by addiction or struggling in darkness to seek help, as the author believes that anyone can experience a resurrection story through faith in Jesus.

  • That Man is Dead: Chapter 29
    Feb 16 2025

    Dennis reflects on the struggles faced by the inmates he works with, many of whom grew up without positive male role models and have no clear idea of what it means to be a man. He emphasizes the importance of the Bible as a guide for manhood and encourages the men in his class to aim high drawing on the example of David’s courage when he faced Goliath.

    The author shares his personal transformation, highlighting how, after being saved and baptized, he left behind his old life of darkness. He believes that the men in his class can experience the same transformation through faith in Jesus, though he acknowledges it won’t be easy. Despite the challenges of working with individuals struggling with addiction, the author continues to offer hope, telling them that there is always a way out through Christ.
