Christianity for the Rest of Us

The God Journey is co-hosted by Wayne Jacobsen and Brad Cummings and is designed to facilitate an ever-expanding conversation with folks who are thinking outside the box of organized religion. Our primary desire is to encourage people on their spiritual journey by providing insightful commentary on Scriptures, current events and cultural trends, as well as fielding questions related to the challenging spiritual issues of real life.

We are two brothers on a journey to discover the fullness of God's life and want to share that journey with you. As former pastors, authors and counselors, Brad and Wayne offer an engaging mix of wisdom, humor and compassion for those sorting out who God is and what it means to follow him. We'll talk freely about the failures of religion and the fallacies of secularism in our culture in an open, accessible dialogue that will be equally helpful, enlightening and entertaining to believers and nonbelievers alike.  We will deal with the present day challenges of upholding Christian values in an ever-increasing secular society, without compromise yet maintaining a continued engagement in and with the world around us.  We want to equip today's believers to more effectively enter into the joy and adventure of a life in Christ, as well as attract the spiritually curious by making this life intelligently accessible and practically relevant.  Jesus Christ is still the most exciting, most controversial, most fascinating, and the most genuinely relevant life and personality there is to talk about and we want to share that conversation with you.

For those who want to try this themselves, here are the technical details of how we produce our podcast.
