In this first episode, Doug Sherman shares the story that started it all: a 14-year-old boy on a back step in Indiana, the son of a WWII veteran with deep wounds, who looked out into the woods and saw Jesus — and said the words that would shape the rest of his life: &quot;I've made a mess of my life. Would you take it and lead it?&quot; What followed wasn't a church program or a theology class. It was four years of simply walking through life with Jesus — talking to him in the classroom, on the football field, on the way to school — learning that the Christian life is meant to be a series of conversations with God, growing in frequency and depth. Doug unpacks three truths that have anchored his 75 years: Jesus is always present and eager for conversation. God's hand is visible all around us. And Jesus is a vastly better leader of your life than you are. If you've ever felt like your relationship with God was more admiration from a distance than actual friendship — this episode is your starting point. This week's challenge: Set an alarm at 10am and 2pm. Pause. Thank Jesus for three things. That's it. Small steps lead somewhere.
