Jared Woods joins My Life Now for a thoughtful conversation about his research driven book, The Gospel of Christ. Traveling through Africa while writing and studying, Jared shares why he set out to reconstruct the life and teachings of Jesus by weaving together the four canonical Gospels into a single narrative while also examining a wide range of early Christian texts.

This episode explores curiosity, historical inquiry, faith, and the lasting impact of Jesus’ teachings on spirituality, philosophy, culture, and personal transformation. Rather than approaching the subject from a doctrinal position, Jared reflects on Jesus as a revolutionary figure whose words continue to challenge and inspire across generations.

Sandra M. Wentzel joins the My Life Now Podcast to share the heartwarming story behind her memoir, The Hen House: The Way We Were. Raised on Cedar Top Mountain in rural Pennsylvania during the 1950s and 60s, Sandra grew up in a home filled with love, sacrifice, and a kind of everyday kindness that is rare in our world today.

Her parents, Wert and Marie Henne, lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Their resilience shaped the home they built and the foster children they welcomed. As a twin and as a daughter, Sandra brings us into a world of family, sisterhood, small town living, and the memories that shaped her life.

This conversation invites listeners to slow down, breathe deep, and rediscover the value of gratitude, community, and preserving the stories that matter most.
