About this listen

If your experience with Christianity was shaped more by people than by Jesus, this podcast is for you. Desperate for God will address church hurt, dishonest leadership, and difficult personal struggles while inviting listeners of all faiths to go beyond cultural Christianity and wrestle honestly with Jesus' own words and claims.

    Finding Jesus in the Dirt
    Feb 12 2026

    Abandoned by his father at an early age, rejected by churches, a victim of a horrific violent assault, a survivor of two intense bouts with cancer, Thomas has faced more adversity than just about anyone. His life has not been easy, and he does not have a pollyanna story to tell. Human love was not adequate for healing. But Jesus has held him together through the struggles, the dirt and the mire. Thomas tells his story with amazing candor, sincerity, and honesty. The transformative power of God is undeniably evident in his life. Anyone who listens to this episode will be moved.
