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?

Today, Jane Pantig joins Janell on the podcast! Jane shares about her experience growing up in the Catholic church, her experience searching for faith in her early twenties, and how her dad’s faith journey impacted her own journey. Jane also shares about her love for apologetics and why she was willing to come to faith in Jesus without having all the answers. Jane shares about her experience on a MAVEN mission trip, her experience with encountering the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and how their beliefs differ from Christian beliefs. They chat about reaching the person, not just answering questions and so much more. We hope you enjoy this episode!
About Jane Pantig
God has given Jane a ministry that she could not have dreamt up herself and continually shows her that there are greater things to be done for Him. She loves deep conversations and providing a place for students to come with their questions and find answers. Jane is a California girl and has lived in California all her life—from the SF Bay Area to Santa Cruz to Orange County to Los Angeles. She was saved while at the University and she finds it amazing that God brought her back to the university to reach students who were like her, lost. She loves working with university and college students because it is a pivotal time in their lives to figure out who they are and what they believe. Janes loves cooking, baking, reading, traveling, puns, and a good laugh! She is thankful that she spent a decade serving in California and now she is in Utah on the next part of the adventure. She is now serving at the University of Utah and Utah Valley University.
