In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Pastor James Hughes, joining the program all the way from Sydney, Australia. James shares his wonderfully unconventional testimony of meeting Jesus as a teenager drawn to a youth event initially for the promise of "fairy bread" and chocolate milk, only to leave baptized in the Holy Spirit and fully committed to Christ. He vulnerably opens up about navigating intense family friction as a young boy due to his mother being a New Age Reiki master, finding refuge under his grandmother's roof, and the exact moment God spoke to him in a spare bedroom with the sudden command: "start my church".
Listen in as James discusses his role leading Dove Gospel, a thriving global network of believers and major ministries stretching from Pakistan to Uganda. He reflects on the realities of managing a flooded inbox of DMs, using a media arm to bring the gospel to unreached communities, and why his heart deeply resonates with the Apostle Paul. If you are wrestling with a difficult calling or struggling to step into the unknown, James’s powerful reminder that God's plans are always more rewarding than our own will deeply anchor your soul!
