<![CDATA[Encounter + Truth]]>What happens when we stop hearing testimonies as someone else’s story—and start seeing them as an invitation to know Jesus for ourselves?

Encounter + Truth is a Christian podcast built around real conversations with everyday disciples of Jesus who have encountered the living God. Through honest stories of faith, healing, restoration, obedience, and God’s faithfulness, we look beyond what happened to discover what each story reveals about who God is.

Because testimony isn’t meant to just leave us amazed by someone else’s encounter. It’s meant to stir our faith for our own.

Each conversation invites you to listen for the biblical truth woven through the story, recognize the character of God being revealed, and ask: What does this show me about Jesus—and how is that truth inviting me to trust Him more deeply?

Come hear the stories. Discover the truth. And encounter Jesus for yourself.

In this first episode of Encounter + Truth, I’m sharing the heart behind this podcast and looking at two encounters with Jesus in Mark 5: Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood. Both came to Jesus believing He could do something—but they approached Him very differently.

Encounter + Truth exists to share stories from disciples of Jesus who have encountered the living God, with the hope that through their stories and biblical truth, your faith will be ignited to seek Him for yourself.

The stories point the way; but Jesus is always the destination.
