Revival in the Next Generation + Family

About this episode

Kody Johnston shares his transformative journey from football to faith and his passion for writing children's books that reflect the kingdom of God.

Kody Johnston shares his journey from playing football to laying down the idolatry surrounding the sport and encountering God during his college years. He reflects on how one conversation with his father after a back injury opened his heart and led him to commit his life to obedience to God. He talks about his early days of faith, his passion for carrying God’s presence into every vocation and how his vocational path has shifted from nursing to becoming a children’s book author, writing stories for the next generation that illustrate the kingdom of God. Kody is a children’s book author. Passion & Purpose is a podcast that desires to help you fall more in love with Jesus and have a greater passion for Him and His purposes in the earth.
