Try Jesus
Lead Pastors Isaac and Kari Maddox of Activate Church discuss hot topics and what it looks like to follow Jesus every day. The Try Jesus Podcast invites people to do one thing: try Jesus. Not religion, not rules, not perfection, just Jesus. Psalm 34:8 says "Taste and see that the Lord is good;" and that's the entire meaning behind Try Jesus.
Isaac and Kari have been married for 24 years and have 2 teenage boys, Jude and Trent. They planted Activate Church 12 years ago and their passion is to encounter Jesus and equip people.
