he doesn't care about that stuff and I'm like, well, if we're made after his image and his likeness,

no matter how foolish it may seem,

I would venture to believe that he cares about this too.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling podcast.

It's often said that hindsight is 2020, and our guests this week look back on how God has

shaped their own lives in profound ways, though it might have been hard to see in the moment.

Former boxing champion Andre Ward shares his life story both inside and outside the ring, marked by struggles

with family addiction and a sense of aimlessness.

He reveals how he turned his life around and reignited his faith after the passing of

his father and became determined to become a warrior for

God.

John Burke shares insights he gained from researching over a thousand near-death experiences.
