I say that God took my busted, broken, rotten, wounded, completely broken heart. I was literally suicidal at the time, even though I had a good job with Hewlett-Packard, great education, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with the University of Tennessee. And when I was in that lowest place in my life, the God of the universe met me as a loving father and pulled me out of that my reap hit.
Imagine the transformative power of walking through the very lands described in the Bible. For Donna Jollay, this isn't just a trip; it's a life-altering journey. On this episode of 'Crossroads with Jenny Bushkell', Donna, the Director of Christian Relations at Israel365, opens up about her spiritual awakening and deep connection to Israel. Her story isn't just about geography; it's about redemption and building bridges between Christian and Jewish communities.
Donna's tale begins with a spiritual awakening in 1995 that led her to immerse herself in the Bible. This newfound faith became her guiding light, helping her recover from an abusive childhood and addiction. Today, she stands as a beacon of hope, dedicated to fostering understanding between Christians and Jews. Her work as a hi-tech entrepreneur, philanthropist, and owner of Jerusalem Tours is all rooted in her love for Israel and its people.
In this heartfelt conversation, Donna and Jenny discuss the profound impact that visiting Israel can have on one's spiritual growth. The Bible comes alive in ways you can't imagine until you've walked the same paths. They also touch on recent events in Israel, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs faced by those living there. But this episode goes beyond current events.
It's a deep dive into the significance of the land itself, exploring why it's so pivotal in biblical contexts. Donna's insights offer a fresh perspective on why understanding and honoring this land is crucial for spiritual growth. Whether you're deeply rooted in your faith or simply curious about the spiritual significance of Israel, Donna's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of spirituality.
Tune in for an episode filled with hope, inspiration, and a call to build stronger connections across communities.
