Episode 51: Jon Campbell on Encountering God’s Love, Unlearning Easy Faith, and the Joys and Challenges of Church Planting and Discipleship

In this episode, Jon shares his powerful story of encountering God’s love at 20 years old — a moment that sparked a deep passion for discipleship and vision through Christian education. He opens up about the joys, challenges, and spiritual insights that are shaping him as both a disciple and a leader. Whether you're leading, planting, or simply following Jesus in your own context, I believe you will resonate with what God is doing in his heart.

Quotes for Notes:

“God is as good right now as the last time you could feel it.”

“…what I’ve had to unlearn is the false idea that everything works when you walk by faith…. God works when you walk by faith, even if everything else doesn’t.”

“Love in practice is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams.”
