God Rewards Our Perseverance, with Joshua Czufin

59 minutes

As a pastor and a musician, Joshua Czufin’s voice has always been central to his identity. But after complications from throat surgery left him nearly voiceless, Joshua faced a crisis of purpose and identity. In this episode, Joshua talks with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry about how he navigated that dark season and how those lessons are shaping his ministry at Life.Church in Colorado Springs. Their conversation also touches on discovering your calling, getting involved in small groups and other spiritual communities, and yes, even a little fly-fishing.
