Episode 03: Wayne Jacobsen – The God Journey

Have you ever wondered what it feels like for God to speak to you?

How do we even know it’s Him?

What about those people who feel like God is inviting them away from the part of the church that primarily meets on Sunday mornings around the world…is that o.k.?  Is it possible to love the church and not be a part of a local one?

On this latest edition of the Fearless Questions podcast I have a chance to share a conversation with author and speaker Wayne Jacobsen as he talks about these questions and also shares a bit of his own personal journey into a new way of experiencing God.

Wayne is an extraordinary guy!  (I’ll put his bio at the bottom of this post for those of you not already familiar with his impressive work.)  One of the greatest things I love about Wayne is that despite all his success and profound work, his great joy is authentic personal relationships with those he encounters along life’s journey with God and others.  It’s good for you to know that they guy you hear on the podcast today would sound exactly the same if he was talking to you at the grocery store.  Truly the real deal.

I’ll be sharing a few additional thoughts on the blog this week that sprouted up out of our conversation that I think you’ll enjoy.

Until then, grab a cup of tea and enjoy listening to this episode.

Blessings,

Jeff
