What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

In this conversation with Pastor Odom, we explore one of the most overlooked truths in Christianity: our calling isn’t simply to know more, do more, or appear more religious—it’s to become more like Christ.

We discuss the Gospel, salvation by grace through faith, why Jesus had to die, the freedom found in Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, reading Scripture, and what it means to let God transform us from the inside out. We also talk about navigating deep desires—like the desire for marriage or relationships—while learning to be whole and satisfied in Christ rather than controlled by what we long for.

Christianity is about a relationship with a Person, not merely following a set of rules. Our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to pursue Christ and to let Him shape every area of your life.

Key topics:

* Becoming more like Christ

* The Gospel and salvation by grace

* Why Jesus had to die

* John 8:32 & 36 — The truth will set you free

* Feeding the Spirit and starving the flesh

* Reading the Bible in context

* Trusting God’s timing

* Living a Christ-centered life

In this episode, we sit down for a casual update on life, ministry, and some of the things God has been teaching us recently.

We talk about what we’ve been learning through challenges, the importance of remaining faithful in every season, encouraging updates from youth ministry, and how God often uses both blessings and difficulties to draw us closer to Himself.

Whether you’re walking through a season of growth, suffering, uncertainty, or encouragement, we hope this conversation points you back to Christ and reminds you that God is at work even when we don’t always see it.

Have you ever wanted to get closer to God… but felt far away from Him?

Maybe you’re confused.

Maybe life has hardened your heart.

Maybe you’re dealing with bitterness, resentment, or disappointment—and you don’t know how to move forward.

In this episode, we sit down with a man who has spent 53 years in ministry, including 44 years as a pastor, and now serves as an evangelist.

We talk about what it really looks like to seek God when you feel distant, how to love Him more deeply, and how to take practical steps toward Him—even when your heart feels cold.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of wisdom for anyone who wants more of God but doesn’t know where to start.

Topics we cover:

• How to get closer to God when you feel far away

• Learning to truly love God more

• Practical ways to reconnect with God

• Wisdom from over five decades of ministry

No matter how far you feel from God, there’s always a way back.
