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?

November’s co-host is Sevanna! Sevanna is a young Christian woman who is currently studying to become a nurse. She tells about her faith journey from growing up Christian to making a personal decision for Christ as a teen.
She tells of how the passing of her Grandmother and her dad’s sickness impacted her relationship with Christ. You will really want to stick around to hear her episodes!
This month, we will address the following questions:
How should Christians share Christ without accidentally offending others?
How can we trust different Bible translations? Is one better than the others? Can passages be taken out of context accidentally? If not, how do we make the Bible understandable without deviating from the original texts?
How can Christians incorporate science and psychology without limiting God or overdoing it?
Could being called a Christian and making faith personal be considered different steps in the Christian journey? Have others Experienced this?
