In this episode, Jonathan Unthank, Music Director at The Light FM, sits down with Chandler Moore from Maverick City Music and Riley Clemmons to discuss their unique paths to a deeper relationship with Jesus.

"Knowing Jesus has been an ongoing process...I've had to move beyond a hand-me-down faith to truly believe with my whole being." Riley Clemmons

Key Takeaways:

1. The Journey of Faith Is Personal and Evolving: Both Chandler and Riley shared how their upbringing in church was just the starting point of their faith journeys. They emphasize that a personal and evolving relationship with Jesus is crucial, moving beyond inherited beliefs to a faith that is deeply personal and continually growing.

2. Seeing Jesus Clearly Requires More Than One Encounter: Chandler Moore used the metaphor of the blind man healed by Jesus to describe his faith journey. He points out that our first encounter with Jesus might not immediately clear our spiritual vision; sometimes, it takes multiple encounters to truly see Him clearly.

3. Jesus as a Friend and Empathizer: Our relationship with Jesus can be deeply empathetic and friendly. Riley highlighted Jesus' empathy by recalling that Jesus wept, showing His deep connection to how we feel - He feels it, too! Chandler talked about feeling the friendship of Jesus - He sees us and He knows us!
