Today on Real Life Radio.

He brought us through some things, and now we're waking up to the realization that, hey,

could that have been the bear or the lion situation in my life to prepare me for the giants

that I'm now living with?

This is Real Life.

Welcome to Real Life Radio with Pastor Jack Hibbs.

I'm David Jay thanking you for joining us today as we listen, learn, and are challenged by God's Word, the Bible.

What if 2026 wasn't about doing more, but about knowing God more?

This January, we're featuring one of the most powerful and timeless books on Christian faith,

Knowing God, written by J. I. Packer.

Now, this classic has helped millions of believers move from knowing about God to actually knowing God personally.

With deep biblical insight and heart-centered focus,

Packer invites you to explore God's character, his love, and what it really means to walk with him.

It's not a quick read, it's a life-changing one. Start your year with truth that will reshape your mind,

strengthen your heart, and deepen your faith.

Friend, this is a great book to get and take time to read it. Maybe read a page or two, a day.

Contemplate it. Think about it. But friends, get a copy for yourself, Knowing God by J.I. Packer.

I promise you, it affected my life. It would do the same for you.

That's Knowing God by J.I. Packer. Get your copy

for a gift of any amount at jackhibs.com. On today's edition of Real Life Radio, Pastor Jack
