    From Religion To Relationship

    What does it really mean to go deep with God, like, actually know Him? In this episode of Jumpstart, hosts Wes and Debbie sit down with Jolien Wolfson, a Dutch-born Gen Z missionary, to explore the difference between transactional religion and transformational faith. Jolien shares her journey from a traditional Dutch Reformed upbringing to a decade of full-time missions across nearly 30 countries. Whether you're stuck in a faith rut, wrestling with disappointment, or simply hungry for more, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to go deeper.
