Does God feel distant to you?
Do your prayers feel like they aren’t heard?
What if we could encounter the God in a real way- the one who is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow?
The Jesus who did what He saw his father doing and said what he heard him say?

My guest today is Josh Marcengill.
is the founder of Abundant Encounters, an online ministry that helps Christians embrace an encounter lifestyle like Jesus Christ revealed to us. Josh discusses how we have been invited into this as our inheritance on the earth. 

Josh shares his experience as an atheist who tried to take his life- But God came to him and steered him to a different direction.

Set aside an intentional time to think back to when you have encountered God… maybe even before you were a believer. I had deep encounters when my husband Howard had his brain tumor…miracles throughout, but a richness I had never experienced before.

Again, when I asked for the gift of tongues and God came through- a gift I still appreciate.

He was right beside me, comforting me the three times I miscarried.
And again when I entrusted my granddaughter who was kidnapped by her father and brainwashed into believing my daughter had repeatedly abused her sexually.

God is faithful, my friends. He’s always with us- with you and with me. His love never fails.

I would invite you to check out Josh’s website.
In this episode of 'Just Talking About Jesus', Jan Johnson and her guest Josh Marcengill, discuss about his life-changing moment from being an atheist to experiencing a divine presence. 

Josh narrates how he was pulled from the edge of despair by a vision of Christ and how that encounter has fueled his faith.

Do you ever wonder how to get close to God?

How to develop a relationship with him?

 Like, people tell you he’s your friend. Your dad. Your brother.

You might have a hard time picturing him in those roles.

Or you might understand him as a distant God, but certainly not as a friend.

Sometimes God seems so far away.

Cathy Colver Garland, oldest daughter of Dr. Randy Colver, has co-authored Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy With Christ, debuting at #1 New Release on Amazon in one of their categories. 

She also writes Graceful Musings, a blog providing women a moment of rest and challenge before those little fingers appear under the bathroom door.
 
A former Vice-President of a software company, she currently consults with institutions and companies on marketing, sales, and strategy. 

She also mentors women in professional, spiritual, and personal development.
 
Saved and living an “absolutely surrendered” life, her passion is to teach people to hear God's voice and obey, surrender their lives absolutely, and walk in freedom.
 
She is married to Mickey and has two children in elementary school.

David's book A Different World
jan-johnson.com
Jan's books

David's wife, Lisa, and he raised their two daughters, Kayla and Bethany, in rural Maine. 

They hunted, fished, foraged for wild edible plants, went camping in remote and undiscovered places, grew gardens, raised livestock, and preserved their own food.

Lisa was a homeschooling/homesteading mom, and David was a self-employed logger. 
As an unintended consequence of this lifestyle, we were all bitten by dozens of ticks. 

About the time their girls were in their mid-teens the whole family had become desperately ill with Lyme Disease, along with a whole host of complications. 

For years he served in the church, first as a deacon, and then as an elder. 

He has long been a self-taught student of Theology and philosophy and has learned all the correct answers to some of the most difficult questions, and can hold his own as a Christian apologist and Theologian. 

But when his family's health fell apart, he discovered something that the books do not teach: that there is a sharp disconnect between an encyclopedia of head knowledge, and an application of that knowledge in the muddy and bloody trenches. 

It is there that his book was conceived.

Trailer for Bridging the Gap, A Spiritual Journey to Heaven and Back
Made for This podcast with Jenny Allen
Just Talking About Jesus website

Calvin Cassady shares the struggle of working within a different spiritual paradigm and the power of faith and prayer in helping people overcome tribulations. His story sheds light on dealing with different cultures and belief systems.

Calvin Cassady is an author and trained journalist. He served his church as a youth minister for 11 years. He worked for 40 years as a career educator and had the honor or serving the Seneca-Cayuga, a federally recognized Indian tribe as a tribal leader.
He lives in Southwest Missouri.
How does one transcend mankind to heavenly being, the known to the eternal mystery? One spring day in 1971, Calvin Cassady, a southwest Missouri teenager, was a victim in an unexplained automobile accident on a curvy Ozark mountain roadway. The impact caused the car that Calvin was a passenger in to burst into flames, plunging him into a clouded existence that included a walk through the valley of the shadow of death, leaving him on the threshold of eternal life. Eternity surrounded him and filled him with an absolute certainty of heaven. Standing before the Master and all his creation Calvin became troubled with the vision of his judgment and the life that he brought with him. Consumed with feelings of emptiness, he needed fulfillment.

Nobody Cares Until You Do
Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby
Just Talking About Jesus website
FREE book Available for free Nov. 16, 17

How often do we go day by day, doing what we do, without thinking about the fact that we will one day be accountable to God? 

Hebrews 4:13 says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

 With that in mind, do continue in our ways without thought, or do we stop to recognize that maybe the situation we’re in is because we’re not doing things Gods way. The best way. The way that leads to righteous and wholesome living.

 Join us today as we explore the topic of accountability with Robert Hunt.

Constance's Book The Trouble with Jesus
Constance's website
Newsletter
Find HOPE Here podcast

Overcoming trials and difficulties is more prevalent in the Christian Walk than people ever realize, and it was just as true for Jesus as he lived among us. 

 Many persons, including those who have been in church for a long time, have deep questions, even doubts about their faith, and it is not unusual to learn of those who have shut the door on God in their lives. 

 To candidly deal with those questions is the purpose of her book, The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away. 

After more than 20 years in ministry (faith-based counseling and church settings), Constance has found many persons in the pews (or chairs) have on their hearts people whom they love but who have serious obstacles to accepting Jesus. 

 Too often they feel the "church" is the place to be saved discounting how their witness is primary for the Holy Spirit to work in lives. Simply put, they don't know how to do it. 

This book is first written for that doubter or skeptic with an edgy voice that challenges Jesus' narrative, faithful to the Gospel story as Jesus as Son of God. In that place, it is an excellent tool whereby believers can present it to these persons and introduce Christ with, "If you would read this, could we have a conversation?" As said, the Holy Spirit then has an open door in which to enter lives and confirm a commitment. 

 What if the trials and pressures of life were molding you into a precious gem? Constance Hastings shares her captivating journey of faith, starting with her unexpected enrollment in a Christian school and her early acceptance of Jesus. Her stories of navigating the challenges of faith will resonate deeply, especially as she compares this spiritual journey to the formation of a diamond.  

Curious about how to bridge the gap between skepticism and faith? Constance opens up how her book is aimed at those who wrestle with doubt. She encourages a healthy engagement with questions of faith
