Finding Something Real

Faith Seeking Understanding with Jahdiel Perez


Listen Later

Today on the podcast, Dagmar and Leke join Janell for a conversation with Jahdiel Perez!

Jahdiel shares about how he came to Christ and his journey from being disqualified from the Marine Corps to studying at a few of the world’s top universities. He defines philosophy and shares how studying it impacted his faith. He also shares his love of C. S. Lewis! We get to hear a wonderful conversation about what to do when our faith feels dry, the place of feelings in our relationship with God, learning to wait on the Lord, and why dry seasons are important to our faith.
