When we closed our interview titled A Journey Into Wisdom with our good friend Steve McIndoo, Jon asked him a question that was essentially attempting to ascertain where Steve had come to in his journey- what is the most important thing in life? To which he replied, “Intimacy with Jesus.” Full stop. Although that answer did not catch us off guard, it did give us pause. We wanted to have Steve back in the studio for a 2 part conversation in our [RE]DISCOVER JESUS series to give this category the time it deserves and have some dialogue around intimacy with Jesus. In so many ways, that is ultimately what we are after here on the OG podcast- a deeper walk with God.
In Waking the Dead, John Eldredge says,
“We take folks through a discipleship program whereby they master any number of Christian precepts and miss the most important thing of all, the very thing for which we were created: intimacy with God (my emphasis added). There are, after all, those troubling words Jesus spoke to those who were doing all the “right” things: “Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you’” (Matthew 7:23). Knowing God. That’s the point.
You might recall the old proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The same holds true here. Teach a man a rule and you help him solve a problem; teach a man to walk with God and you help him solve the rest of his life.”

Story is the language of the OG Podcast. Through story we are [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS and who we are in Christ. In doing so we are inspiring people to change their mind (how they think and feel) about God and life in his kingdom. We’ve found the stories of people who walk with God so helpful in gaining an understanding of the ways in which God works and what it might look like for us to walk with God. If a revolution is going to spring up in the Body of Christ, it’s going to be ordinary people like you and me discovering who we are in Christ and living this out in the context of our ordinary, everyday lives- in the marketplace, in marriage, parenting, friendships and relationships, even in areas of passion and adventure! Every week we will bring you fresh stories that will help you discover what it might look like to walk with God in all areas of our lives and that will help you discover who you truly are in Christ.
