This first episode of the Dulin Podcast introduces listeners to Pastor James and invites them to explore the practice of following Jesus rather than simply “being Christian.” Drawing from the Gospels, James reflects on three core practices modeled by Jesus: grounding oneself daily in prayerful stillness, being fully present with others, and living from a place of abundance rather than scarcity. He emphasizes that following Jesus is a lived way of being—cultivating inner grounding, compassionate presence, and gratitude for the gifts of life—so that God’s grace can move through us into the world. The episode closes with a reminder that each listener is infinitely precious and unconditionally loved for the gift they already are.
