RHP 27 - On Meeting the Real Jesus - Many who grew up with a different presentation of Jesus than the true version presented in the Gospels walk away with a bad taste in their mouths, today's guest shares her story of walking through personal pain and challenges, while misunderstanding the real Jesus. Her story of discovery of the loving, life-giving Jesus from the Gospels changed her life.

RHP 26 - On Trusting a Real God With Your Life - One of the challenges to following Jesus is trusting that He can and wants to use our life. Many feel insecure, inadequate, fearful, and anxious over the idea that God could or would use their life in any capacity. As a result, many step back when God would like us to step forward. Even if we're not sure what we believe about God, we wonder whether God (if He's real) cares about us or can use our life. Today, Jason shares part of his story to help inspire you to trust God with your life too.

RHP 25 - On Shame and Fear - When we make choices we regret what often follows is guilt, shame and fear. These have been tools used by religion and religious people to exercise control, but is that what God's like? On today's podcast we learn that it is not, but we have to learn how to navigate shame and fear and counter it with truth if we want to move forward and find freedom.

RHP 24- On Moving from Dechurched back to Church - Many are deconstructing their faith and, as a result, walking away from the church and in some cases their faith too. On today's podcast we meet someone who walked that journey and was able to find their way back to life with Christ and his church.

RHP 23 - On Finding Friends (pt.2) - When life happens, we can often wonder where to turn and who will be there to turn to. On this podcast we hear from Tom and Andrea Wilhoit about how it was the support and care of friends that helped them walk through one of the hardest seasons of their life.
