Maybe you’ve grown up as a Christian going to church or maybe you’re not interested in religion at all. But when you’re scrolling, hanging out with friends, trying to sleep, or overwhelmed with your day-to-day, do big existential questions ever pop in- you know- things like, “Why am I here? How did all this get here? What happens after I die?” “Is there a God and is there really meaning to all this?” ”What’s so special about Jesus Christ?” We’ve all experienced deep longing for something this world can’t seem to satisfy. Even someone as wildly successful as Taylor Swift knows that to be true. “I had won album of the year at the Grammys for a second time...” She said, “and I remember thinking afterwards, ’Oh my god, that was all you wanted!... That was all you focused on. You get to the mountaintop and look around and you’re like... what now?” If you’re tired and feeling overwhelmed with all the different voices yelling for your affections- telling you what to go after- whether it be success, beauty, the perfect partner, social media followers, money, or power… only to leave you let down and unsatisfied, searching for more… Maybe like my friends and me, you’re after finding something REAL. Every week, join me (Janell Wood), special co-hosts and guests as we ask questions, look for answers, and search for the source of something REAL: Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love. I believe those things can ultimately be found in relationship with Jesus Christ, but don’t take my word for it. Listen to our conversations for yourself and go on a journey with us: Is Jesus the REAL thing?

Happy October, friends! We hope you’ve had a great start to your fall!
This month, Dagmar shares her story with us! She and Janell have a great conversation for you today! They chat about Dagmar’s previous experiences on the podcast, mental health and setting priorities, and more. Dagmar shares about why the idea of faith has always drawn her, why she decided to come back on the podcast, and her current place in her spiritual journey. She shares what she thinks is holding her back from surrendering to Jesus and some of the questions she has including:
-How do you know when you are ready to follow Jesus?
-How do Christians integrate faith into their lives (especially if they did not become Christians until later on)?
-What holds people back in their relationship with God? What does it look like to have faithfulness in a relationship with God?
-How does a relationship with God affect you when you have relationships with people who are not Christian?
Have a good Wednesday!
