Journey NOW
Join staff and friends of Journey Church for this weekly podcast where we explore pressing questions about faith, history, truth, and what it means to be a Jesus follower. Every Thursday, you’ll hear stories, interviews, guidance on spiritual practices, (and some irreverent humor) as we awaken, align, and live out our true identities in Christ.
