Finding Authentic Faith: Hollylu Jostes Coon's Journey

Episode Overview

  • God prioritises heart transformation over mere behaviour.
  • Authentic relationships with God are more fulfilling than checking off religious boxes.
  • Real-life experiences can lead to deeper faith.
  • God uses regular, broken people for His purposes.
  • Finding joy and contentment in faith is possible regardless of circumstances.
God is less concerned with your behaviour than the transformation of your heart
In this episode of Crossroads with Jenny Bushkell, you'll hear an engaging conversation with Hollylu Jostes Coon, an author, speaker, and women's Bible teacher. Hollylu shares her journey from being a self-proclaimed 'control freak and coffee junkie' to discovering a deeper, more personal relationship with God.
She talks about the challenges of growing up in a culture where behaviour is judged and how she learned that God is more interested in the transformation of the heart than ticking off boxes of good practice. Hollylu's story is relatable and filled with moments of humour and honesty. She recounts how a simple pink coffee mug became a symbol of her lukewarm faith and the turning point that led her to seek a more authentic relationship with Jesus.
Her upcoming book, *Salty: The Deconstruction of a Good Christian*, explores these themes further, offering hope and encouragement to those who feel they've strayed too far to be used by God. Jenny Bushkell's warm and welcoming style makes this episode a comforting listen. She facilitates a discussion that touches on the struggles many face in their faith journey, such as the confusion between salvation and faith, and the challenge of maintaining a vibrant relationship with God amidst life's chaos.
Hollylu's insights are not just theoretical; they are drawn from her real-life experiences and struggles, making them deeply impactful. If you're looking for a podcast that combines heartfelt stories with practical advice on deepening your faith, this episode is a must-listen. It reminds us that God uses regular, broken, messy people and that true transformation comes from an authentic relationship with Him. So, sit back and enjoy this uplifting conversation that promises to leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
