In this episode, Jon and Host Mindi Linscombe have an in depth conversation about Jon's faith journey in following Jesus Christ including: 

  • How a trip to Mexico catapulted Jon's faith in his school years. 
  • Why it has been a long slow journey for Jon to be an apprentice of Jesus.
  • Why Jon is unashamedly a Jesus guy. 
  • How Jon found life, death, and wholeheartedness by following in the ways of Jesus. 
  • Secrets to serenity in life that Jon has learned from "the ancients" and more experienced people. 
  • How winning actually comes from losing. 
  • Trying to exert control in life. How studies show we only control about 15% of our lives but still need to be proactive. 
  • How Jon realized he is actually an introvert with a need to recharge--and how that drastically changed him for the better. 
  • Shalom: What is it and why does it matter? 
  • How sin is a culpable disturbance of shalom. 
  • Four types of disturbances & how they break wholeheartedness in life.  
  • How no-one fully "has it together" but we can learn from those further down the road. 
  • Jon's journey to overcome anxiety, and more!
