What does it really mean to go deep with God, like, actually know Him? In this episode of Jumpstart, hosts Wes and Debbie sit down with Jolien Wolfson, a Dutch-born Gen Z missionary, to explore the difference between transactional religion and transformational faith. Jolien shares her journey from a traditional Dutch Reformed upbringing to a decade of full-time missions across nearly 30 countries. Whether you're stuck in a faith rut, wrestling with disappointment, or simply hungry for more, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to go deeper.

In this heartfelt episode, Debbie and Samuel share their personal journeys of faith—from childhood doubts to radical commitment. Together, they explore what it means to truly know God, not just believe in Him—discussing prayer, reading the Bible, hearing God's voice, and the ongoing process of sanctification. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or looking to deepen your walk with Jesus, this conversation offers honest insights and practical guidance for the journey ahead!
