What does it really look like to follow Jesus authentically as a young adult today?

In this honest and unfiltered episode of our Christian podcast, we dive deep into the struggles of faith—battling shame, guilt, and the pressure of performative Christianity in a social media world.

We share real experiences about losing intimacy with God, turning faith into a checklist, and rediscovering what it means to truly seek Him with intention.

If you’ve ever felt distant from God, stuck in cycles of condemnation, or unsure how to build a genuine relationship with Jesus, this conversation is for you. Join us as we talk about spiritual growth, accountability, worship, and finding freedom in Christ—so you can walk boldly in your faith and experience God’s love in a real and personal way.

🎙️ Welcome to the OurTime Podcast 🤍 Real conversations. Honest faith. Young believers walking with Jesus in our generation.

Welcome to Season 3 of OurTime—our Resurrection Season—where we dive deep into what it really means to follow Jesus authentically as young adults in today’s world.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we share our personal journeys of faith, grief, mental health, purpose, and entrepreneurship, and how learning to see Jesus for who He truly is has restored our hope.

From wrestling with doubt and disappointment to discovering that God is present in the storm (Mark 4) and near to the brokenhearted, we unpack how faith in Jesus Christ transforms the way we navigate loss, career struggles, anxiety, and stepping out in obedience.

If you’re a young Christian trying to build your business, grow spiritually, heal from grief, or simply understand who Jesus is beyond religion, this conversation will encourage you to trust God’s character, rely on Christian community, and place your hope fully in Christ.

Season 3 is about realignment, revival, and resurrection—because Jesus rose on the third day, and in Him our faith, purpose, and identity are being restored.
