Customer Reviews
Fumbling toward Jesus—Episode 3 Review
Of the many lessons emanating from Jessamyn’s retracing of Paul’s redemptive transformation, I find the greatest value in her advice to “be ready” for criticism and testing from friends or loved ones so ready to doubt the possibility of repentance through Jesus. She adds a deep sense of integrity to this teaching as she relates the story of her own sobriety—and others’ reaction to it—as real-life illustration. Jessamyn moves from there to the power of love in action to convince the doubters, stating that “people will see your change if you are living your change.”
Finally, as a fellow language-arts teacher I related strongly to her account of the English major first overcoming that fear of being inferior or unqualified around clergy and then making like Paul and simply beginning to witness. We are free, as Jessamyn declares, to read, question, doubt, and figure it all out for ourselves—and then, like Paul, to share, share, share our learning with others in community! She uses the term “Ananias moments” to define those callings to leave our ego-centered comfort zones, say yes to God’s higher calling, and spread the good news of the Way with courage and assurance.
Jessamyn offers just the right blend of scripture and personal testimony, offering her encouragement with clarity, empathy, and even a little loving firmness along the way. I pray that God and listeners everywhere might continue to bless Fumbling Toward Jesus!
From her heart to our ears
This podcast is well done and totally relatable to anyone full of faith or “faith curious”
Wonderful Podcast
I love listening to these messages. Jess has surely been anointed by the Lord with a wonderful voice and a powerful testimony.
