Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast. The search for God is a deeply personal endeavor,

often paralleling our journey to self-discovery. As we seek to know more about him,

we might read books, listen to sermons, or study scripture. These all add to our understanding

of who God is, but the best way to find Him is simply to talk to Him like He would a friend.
