Finding Something RealAuthor: Janell Wood
Maybe youve grown up as a Christian going to church or maybe youre not interested in religion at all. But when youre scrolling, hanging out with friends, trying to sleep, or overwhelmed with your day-to-day, do big existential questions ever pop in- you know- things like, Why am I here? How did all this get here? What happens after I die? Is there a God and is there really meaning to all this? Whats so special about Jesus Christ? Weve all experienced deep longing for something this world cant seem to satisfy. Even someone as wildly successful as Taylor Swift knows that to be true. I had won album of the year at the Grammys for a second time... She said, and I remember thinking afterwards, Oh my god, that was all you wanted!... That was all you focused on. You get to the mountaintop and look around and youre like... what now? If youre tired and feeling overwhelmed with all the different voices yelling for your affections- telling you what to go after- whether it be success, beauty, the perfect partner, social media followers, money, or power only to leave you let down and unsatisfied, searching for more Maybe like my friends and me, youre after finding something REAL. Every week, join me (Janell Wood), special co-hosts and guests as we ask questions, look for answers, and search for the source of something REAL: Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love. I believe those things can ultimately be found in relationship with Jesus Christ, but dont take my word for it.

This is the sixth and final episode in a series of episodes dedicated to a young woman and returning cohost, Dagmar from The Netherlands. This episode is with special guest, Craig Hazen. Dagmar has co-hosted many Finding Something REAL episodes in the past four years. Although Dagmar is interested in, learned a lot about and is drawn to Jesus, and chose to get baptized when she was a child, she has not yet made a decision to take a leap of faith as an adult. She has a comfortable life and enjoys partying with friends and admits that were she to give her life to Christ her life would change and people would view her differently. She's grown up in a secular culture and for this series, reached out to some friends for new faith questions including some about the credibility of Jesus, why there are so many variations of religion and Christianity, and the history of Christianity.
