Episode Details

What did Jesus actually teach about how we should think, live, and love? James Early, Bible teacher, speaker, and host of the Bible Speaks to You podcast, has spent more than 50 years studying scripture with that central question.

In this thoughtful conversation, James shares:

• What his 20s looked like as a young man of faith

• Learning humility and listening for God’s voice

• How unanswered questions strengthened rather than weakened his relationship with God

• What the “mindset of Jesus” really means

• Moving beyond religious tradition into a deeper, more practical faith

• Insights from decades of teaching, coaching, and prison ministry

If you’re in your 20s exploring faith, questioning tradition, or wanting a more authentic relationship with God, this episode offers clear, grounded wisdom.

James helps people rediscover a life marked by compassion, faith, humility, and a closer walk with God.
