Jamie’s book: Friendship with God
Available on Amazon

In this episode, Raz and Jamie continue their conversation with Josh Johnson, a real estate developer with a heart for building more than just physical structures. This time, Josh shares the story of a vivid dream from God—something rare for him—that changed the direction of his life.

In the dream, he and a group of friends were digging together in a field surrounded by trees. As he prayed into the dream, he sensed Jesus inviting him to build a city—not alone, but with friends. That calling led him to move to Redding, California, trusting God’s voice step by step.

The move was marked by a series of supernatural confirmations that made it surprisingly smooth at first. But once there, Josh encountered the deeper work of resilience—pressing on through delays, obstacles, and personal growth as God shaped more than just external plans.

Josh reflects on discovering his true identity as a builder—not just of places, but of people, community, and belonging. His story is a beautiful example of what it means to follow Jesus into both vision and hardship, and to create spaces where others can be fully known and loved.

Available on Amazon

In this episode, Raz and Jamie talk with Josh Johnson, a serial entrepreneur (including real estate developer) and devoted follower of Jesus, about the surprising ways God leads—and sustains—us through life’s hardest moments.

Josh shares how he came to faith in middle school after hearing the testimony of an older student who was miraculously healed of cancer. That early encounter with the power of Jesus planted seeds that would later carry him through his own family’s battle with suffering.

Years later, Josh and his wife sensed a clear call from God to move their family to Cincinnati—without knowing why. Within a year of moving, their daughter was diagnosed with a rare muscle cancer. It turned out that Cincinnati Children’s Hospital was one of the top treatment centers in the country for her specific diagnosis. God had gone ahead of them.

This conversation dives into the supernatural leadership of Jesus, the honest wrestling that comes with suffering, and what it means to trust God even when the outcome is unknown. Josh vulnerably shares the question that he wrestled with—“If my daughter dies, will I still believe in God?”—and how his faith has deepened through suffering.

It’s a powerful, honest, and hope-filled look at living with Him when life doesn’t go the way we planned.

🎙️ In this episode, Raz and Jamie explore how to practically bring the Kingdom of God into everyday life by being “doubly present”—fully present with the person in front of us and fully present with God, who is always speaking.

They reflect on how Jesus lived this way:

• He only said what the Father was saying
• He only did what He saw the Father doing

Together, they discuss how to follow Jesus' example and live a lifestyle that’s naturally supernatural—hearing God’s thoughts for others, speaking words of blessing, and praying in ways that invite healing and hope without hype or weirdness.

This episode is full of practical encouragement for anyone who wants to walk with Jesus and represent heaven in daily, Spirit-led ways.

What Is the Kingdom of God? (And Why It Changes Everything)

In this episode, Raz and Jamie dive into a foundational—but often misunderstood—question: What is the Kingdom of God?

They unpack what it means that the Kingdom is wherever God gets His way—where Jesus is King in every part of life, not just on Sundays. For many of us, especially in the American context, “kingdom” language can feel foreign or abstract. We’re taught to be independent and self-governing. But the good news of the Gospel flips that script: by grace through faith in Jesus, we are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of the Son.

Raz and Jamie also explore some rich New Testament identity-shaping themes:

• Living as ambassadors for Christ
• Embracing our role as citizens of heaven
• Carrying real authority to represent heaven on earth

Whether you’re just beginning to explore the idea of God’s Kingdom or you’ve been walking with Jesus for decades, this conversation will help anchor your identity and mission—with Him.

Megan Thomas: Hearing God, Healing with Words

In this episode, Raz and Jamie sit down with Megan Thomas, a speech pathologist in Cincinnati Public Schools, to talk about faith, calling, and the power of words to heal.

Megan shares her story of growing up in a Lutheran church, encountering Jesus in a vibrant Vineyard community, and deepening her walk through ministries like YoungLife and CRU at Ohio State. After a season of teaching in Charlotte, NC, she sensed a clear nudge from the Lord—leading her to pursue speech pathology. Today, she walks with Jesus into classrooms and therapy sessions, helping students find their voice.

This conversation is full of wisdom and grace as Megan reflects on how she’s learned to listen for God’s voice in every season—from career shifts to relationships, dating, marriage, and discerning what’s next. It's a beautiful picture of life with Him.

In this episode, Raz and Jamie talk with Scott Hobart, a recently retired Procter & Gamble executive, about what it looks like to live open-handed toward Jesus—at work, at home, and into retirement.

Raised on a farm in Michigan, Scott thought he’d be a farmer. Instead, God led him into corporate leadership. Along the way, Scott followed Jesus at work by engaging in Bible studies, praying for coworkers, staying calm in crisis, and leading with servant-hearted humility. Now in retirement, he’s still listening to Jesus—ministering to neighbors in Kentucky and continuing to walk with Him.

🎙️ New Episode of the With Him Podcast

In this episode, Raz and Jamie have a heart-to-heart conversation about the importance of understanding our identity in Christ—and the danger of covering ourselves with modern-day "fig leaves."

Looking at Genesis 3, they explore how the first sin brought fear, guilt, and shame into the human story, leading Adam and Eve to hide from God. But the good news of Jesus invites us out of hiding and into freedom.

This episode is an encouraging reminder that you don’t have to live under lies. You are a beloved child of God—and you were made to walk in the light.
