Hello Everyone! Happy Wednesday! 
Today we are excited to share with you the first episode of September! Alice from Sweden, our September co-host, joins Janell to discuss the cultural differences between Sweden and the US, why she does not identify as religious, and her surprise about the amount of religion in American culture. She also chats about why she doesn’t necessarily believe in God and why she chose to be our September Co-Host. They also chat about a few of Alice’s questions such as:
Why does God allow things to be messed up?
What’s the difference between someone who lives their life believing in God and someone who doesn’t?
How does believing in God impact what someone believes about themselves? Where does mental health fit into the Christian life? 
We hope you will join us for Alice’s journey on the podcast!

Most people I know don’t believe in God...What differences does belief make?

Maybe you’ve grown up as a Christian going to church or maybe you’re not interested in religion at all. But when you’re scrolling, hanging out with friends, trying to sleep, or overwhelmed with your day-to-day, do big existential questions ever pop in- you know- things like, “Why am I here? How did all this get here? What happens after I die?” “Is there a God and is there really meaning to all this?” ”What’s so special about Jesus Christ?” We’ve all experienced deep longing for something this world can’t seem to satisfy. Even someone as wildly successful as Taylor Swift knows that to be true. “I had won album of the year at the Grammys for a second time...” She said, “and I remember thinking afterwards, ’Oh my god, that was all you wanted!... That was all you focused on. You get to the mountaintop and look around and you’re like... what now?” If you’re tired and feeling overwhelmed with all the different voices yelling for your affections- telling you what to go after- whether it be success, beauty, the perfect partner, social media followers, money, or power… only to leave you let down and unsatisfied, searching for more… Maybe like my friends and me, you’re after finding something REAL. Every week, join me (Janell Wood), special co-hosts and guests as we ask questions, look for answers, and search for the source of something REAL: Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love. I believe those things can ultimately be found in relationship with Jesus Christ, but don’t take my word for it. Listen to our conversations for yourself and go on a journey with us: Is Jesus the REAL thing?
