Raised in Ministry, But Still Needed Jesus | Wake Up Speak Up Podcast Ep. 17

In Episode 17 of the Wake Up Speak Up Podcast, Emerson sits down with his close friend James St Jean to talk about his testimony of growing up around ministry, serving as a former intern, and realizing that being close to ministry does not automatically mean you are truly surrendered to Christ.James shares how the Lord began exposing things in his heart, drawing him into genuine repentance, discipleship, and a real relationship with Jesus. This conversation touches on the difference between church culture and true salvation, the danger of unbelief, and how someone can genuinely encounter the Lord young but still drift, turn away, or forfeit their walk with Christ if they do not continue in faith.We also talk about the importance of discipleship and evangelism, how family can shape your walk with God in a powerful way, and why ministry cannot be separated from family life. Ministry is not something we compartmentalize — for the believer, our home, our marriage, our children, our calling, and our evangelism are all part of one surrendered life before the Lord.This episode is for anyone who grew up in church, has served in ministry, or has ever wrestled with whether they truly know Jesus for themselves.
