This week, let’s do something just a little bit different. For those of you who have been hanging out with the “Are You Real” podcast since the beginning, you might be familiar with a man by the name of Any Dietz. Andy first appeared on Episode 7, and he was able to share his heart for the nations and the way God has called him to live outside of his comfort zone. Andy’s passion for international missions is far reaching. He’s been to 43 different countries, and that has opened his eyes to God’s blessing for us here in the States.
But God’s purpose for Andy is bigger than just his heart for missions. Last time we talked, I promised that we would get some more details about a crazy situation that happened one night in Budapest. Andy survived a kidnapping, but the grace of God. It is an incredible story of survival, strength, and faith that he writes about in his book Kidnapped in Budapest. I can’t wait for you to hear more.

What path does the Lord have you on currently? How do you know if this is what God has planned for you? These are all amazing questions that can be answered by looking into and listening to God’s Word. In today’s podcast, Jon is teaching from Psalm 119:105, about how God’s word is a lamp and a light, but you have to allow Him to show you the way.

Do you ever feel, in one moment, that God is truly talking to you? That God tells you what you were created to do? What would you do in that moment? Today we are talking with Chad Johnson who is going to share his story of highs and lows. Listen in to hear more about Chad and his path to the Lord.
Chad Johnson had a successful career in Christian music. Things were going along great as long as he didn’t acknowledge the mess his life was in. One day he couldn’t look beyond it any longer and he surrendered to God’s call on his life. It was risky and it was scary. God gave him clear instructions and he’s doing all he can to carry them out. He’s a speaker that has been to every continent and he is on a mission to prepare Christians for a life of risk. What if you risked it all to love your neighbor or follow Christ? Find out what where this ride ends!
