Young Life Adventures: Deanne Johnson's Story

Send me a text and let me know your thoughts! What happens when you say “yes” to God’s call, even when it leads far beyond your comfort zone? In this episode of Just Talkin’ About Jesus , Deanne Johnson shares her journey from a quiet life in Phoenix to unexpected adventures in Germany and South Africa through Young Life ministry. Deanne opens up about the joys and challenges of mentoring teens, the power of simple obedience, and the beauty of spiritual motherhood when God whispers, “These are to be your children.” Her story is full of laughter, honesty, and proof that when God goes before us, He writes the best adventures. If you’ve ever wondered how God can use your “yes” in ways you’d never imagine, this conversation will both inspire and encourage you.
