    Blake and Joy, thank you for sharing your story and the stories of others who are “following Jesus into the wild!” I’ve listened to every episode so far, and each one has inspired me and provoked me to think and reflect on living out my purpose as a follower of Christ. What a blessing this ministry is and will be to everyone who listens. Keep up the Lord’s work!
