Jesus is Better Unknown

We’re supposed to have a personal, intimate relationship with God, but that rarely comes easily to a person. How can we know God better? How can we know him more truly? God delights in us knowing him, so there is certainly a way. Let’s learn about knowing our Triune God with Josh Bond and Pastor Chuck Newkirk in this episode of Jesus is Better the Podcast.

In this episode of Jesus is Better the Podcast, we’ll ask a question that many of us wrestle with. Are peace and joy actually possible? Like long-term possible? Or is it vain hope to think the “next thing” will finally provide them?
If you’ve wanted to feel peace and joy, listen in. Pastor Chuck Newkirk and Maddie Reimus seek to answer our questions.

We turn the tables and interview Pastor Chuck on the question that hinders so many of us. We discuss the main obstacles to reading and understanding the Bible and how to over come them.
