The Seeker

The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show with Pastor Jack King of Tallahassee, Florida

In this heartfelt episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King, your host for over two decades, shares a powerful observation: a profound spiritual hunger is awakening, particularly among younger generations. Many are "finding the church" and seeking a genuine relationship with God after years of indifference or distance. Pastor King transparently opens up about his own spiritual journey, from a childhood steeped in church to a pivotal time at age 14 when he began to question his beliefs and solidify his personal commitment to Christ. He candidly shares how this led to foundational life decisions, including a commitment to faithfulness before marriage, a story he elaborates on in his book, Dreams and Visions and Stories of Faith. He then breaks down the spiritual awakening process into three key stages: Wondering: A period of contemplation where individuals, perhaps previously indifferent or even rejecting God, begin to open their minds to spiritual possibilities due to life circumstances or divine nudges. Seeking: Moving beyond mere wondering, this stage involves a conscious decision to actively pursue God, much like Pastor King's own experience crying out to God under a stairwell at Bible college. Embracing the Holy Spirit: The crucial next step, where a seeker discovers the personal, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit—the part of the Godhead that connects directly with our hearts, translates our groans, and delivers God’s message back to us. Pastor King emphasizes that this relationship cleanses and convicts, leading to deeper spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, Pastor King underscores that the Christian walk is a continuous, often challenging, but ultimately joyful journey. He offers a warm invitation to Freedom Road Christian Ministry, a growing church with a new facility on Apalachee Parkway, where he hopes to mentor and influence those on their own seeking journey. He also highlights various radio programs and events from his ministry, including the popular Saturday Night Gospel Sing. Tune in for an encouraging message that speaks directly to the heart of the modern seeker. Episode #1228 ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.
