272- Connecting Faith and Technology in the Digital Age with JR

What happens when cutting-edge technology meets timeless faith? In this thought-provoking conversation, JR from Brushfires Digital Ministry reveals how he's revolutionizing spiritual growth through a unique blend of faith and psychometric science.
Drawing from decades of software development experience, JR has created a digital ministry that helps believers discover their God-given design and purpose. "Every child of God knows they were created for something special," he explains, detailing how psychometric assessments—the same tools used by companies like IBM and Coca-Cola—can unveil your spiritual gifts and natural strengths. This isn't just corporate methodology being applied to faith; it's recognizing that the Creator designed each person with intention and purpose.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when JR distinguishes between happiness and joy. While happiness depends on favorable circumstances, joy transcends them, emerging from alignment with God's calling. "Sin is a cheap, addictive substitute for what joy delivers," he observes, explaining how momentary pleasures that promise fulfillment ultimately lead to spiritual bondage and emptiness. True joy, by contrast, comes through obedience to God's purpose, creating a lasting fulfillment that circumstances cannot shake.
Perhaps most striking is JR's comparison of spiritual vigilance to America's response to 9/11. Before that tragedy, many felt untouchable, ignoring clear warnings. Similarly, believers often remain spiritually asleep until personal tragedies strike. "We are in a spiritual war," JR warns, "and the enemy wants to take you out." This isn't fearmongering but a call to awakening—recognizing that, like America strengthening its defenses after 9/11, believers must remain spiritually alert and connected to God's guidance.
