Do you have questions about God, the Bible, or Christianity? Do you want to be more like Jesus, but you don’t know where to start? That’s why Finchwood exists: following Jesus means we have to actually have those conversations, ask bold questions, and embark on the lifelong journey to discover what God is like. Every 2nd and 4th Friday, this podcast covers a subject that’s essential to your spiritual development as a disciple of Jesus. If that sounds interesting, start by listen to our first episode, “Welcome to Finchwood!” and feel free to drop us a line... especially if you have a topic you’d like to see covered (no topic is out of bounds). Thanks for listening! Contact: finchwooddiscipleship@gmail.com (Email) | @FinchwoodPod (Twitter) | @FinchwoodPodcast (everywhere else)

In this episode, listeners are invited to enter into a relationship with Jesus. For the record, becoming a Christian is NOT a prerequisite for listening to Finchwood or for participating in the ongoing conversation that this podcast is a part of, but at the same time, personally knowing God is foundational to truly understanding everything we talk about after this point.
If you don't know Jesus in that way yet, please listen to this episode and consider praying along with the loosely-guided prayer time near the end.
Chapters:
00:00 - What You're Invited To
02:04 - Relationship and Religion
05:09 - Lord and Savior
06:36 - For the Seeker and the Skeptic
08:18 - Prayer
