This episode of "The Real Life with Christ" features Jonathan and co-host Matt Whitehead, who shares his testimony and the ever changing landscape of his spiritual journey.

He discusses his upbringing in the church and also speaks candidly about his college years. Matt emphasizes the powerful connection between music and faith, noting how music impacts the soul and can be a means of glorifying God and building relationships. All of this while Jonathan tries to get back in the saddle again after a long break from podcasting.
In the book of Amos, God confronts a people who kept all the outward appearances of worship while their hearts were far from Him. They sang the songs, offered the sacrifices, and gathered for worship — but beneath the surface, they were consumed by idolatry, greed, and injustice.

In this message, we explore the story of Jonah—not as a tale of a reluctant prophet and a big fish, but as a revelation of God’s heart.

Discover how Jonah’s story challenges our assumptions about who deserves grace and calls us to reflect that same mercy in our own lives.
In this message from 2 Kings, we explore the vital role of the prophet in Israel’s history—a voice of truth in the midst of chaos, calling God’s people back to Him.
