Episode 15
Jesus Is the Vision
When Jesus becomes enough
Nick Greenwood joins Jon for an honest conversation about identity, suffering, ministry, and what happens when even good things begin to compete with God Himself.
Nick reflects on childhood abandonment, people-pleasing, ministry leadership, overwork, and years of physical limitation that forced him to confront an identity built around usefulness and achievement. Together, Jon and Nick explore how God exposes false identities, redeems deep pain, and patiently teaches us to trust Him again.
At its core, this conversation is an invitation to loosen our grip on outcomes, stop measuring ourselves by what we accomplish, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
