"From Rebel to Redeemed: Faith, Creativity, and Hearing God's Voice" Wendy and Derek

Send me a text and let me know your thoughts! Wendy and Derek's Website Derek Hatdnger has lived a lot of life — and God has used all of it.  From a difficult childhood marked by family upheaval and financial stress, to years of spiritual rebellion, to nursing a first wife through cancer and experiencing a life-altering encounter with God, Derek's testimony is raw, real, and full of grace.  Now married to Wendy, a freelance illustrator who has her own story of God's faithful provision through the uncertainty of creative work, the Hadingers join Jan for a conversation that is at once deeply personal and universally relatable. This episode explores what surrender really looks like — in careers, in creativity, and in everyday moments of trust. Whether you're an artist wrestling with your calling, someone who has run from God and wonders if you can come back, or simply someone who needs a reminder that He has always taken care of you — this episode will meet you where you are. Welcome to Just Talkin' About Jesus. I'm Jan Johnson, a seasoned believer who loves relationships and, you know, just talkin' about Jesus. Here you will find testimonies of those who God has changed through his grace. Stories of feeling unworthy because of being sex trafficked, or of radical redemption of a woman who grew up with abuse, neglect, abandonment and drugs. A story of an abortion survivor. This and more. Lean in now.
