S2E25 Suffering (Josh Johnson) with Jesus!

... with Him Podcast

In this episode, Raz and Jamie talk with Josh Johnson, a serial entrepreneur (including real estate developer) and devoted follower of Jesus, about the surprising ways God leads—and sustains—us through life’s hardest moments.

Josh shares how he came to faith in middle school after hearing the testimony of an older student who was miraculously healed of cancer. That early encounter with the power of Jesus planted seeds that would later carry him through his own family’s battle with suffering.

Years later, Josh and his wife sensed a clear call from God to move their family to Cincinnati—without knowing why. Within a year of moving, their daughter was diagnosed with a rare muscle cancer. It turned out that Cincinnati Children’s Hospital was one of the top treatment centers in the country for her specific diagnosis. God had gone ahead of them.

This conversation dives into the supernatural leadership of Jesus, the honest wrestling that comes with suffering, and what it means to trust God even when the outcome is unknown. Josh vulnerably shares the question that he wrestled with—“If my daughter dies, will I still believe in God?”—and how his faith has deepened through suffering.

It’s a powerful, honest, and hope-filled look at living with Him when life doesn’t go the way we planned.
