Finding something real is more than a podcast. It’s building bridges and crossing divides. 

Maybe you're unsure about this whole faith thing—confused, skeptical, or just tired of church-y stuff. Maybe you grew up around Christianity but quietly checked out a while ago. You're not anti-Jesus... you're just not sure what to believe anymore.

Or maybe you do love Jesus. He’s changed your life—and you want others to know that hope. But every time you try to talk about faith with someone you care about, it turns awkward, emotional, or just plain exhausting.

Wherever you currently sit with faith in Christ—I'm really glad you're here. This space is for honest conversations, real questions, and building bridges as we explore where Truth, Beauty, and Goodness are ultimately found.

Hello, friend.

My name is Janell.

Finding Something REAL isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement to build bridges in a divided world.

I invited Jesus into my heart as a little girl, but like many, I’ve walked through seasons of doubt, pain, wandering, and questions. I’ve sat in the back pew feeling disconnected, wondering if I really believed the faith I claimed. I wrestled with thoughts like:

  • Is this really true?

  • Why does faith sometimes feel more political than personal?

  • Can I trust the Bible?

  • How does following Jesus impact my day-to-day life?

  • Does following Jesus mean I have to have all the answers?

Spoiler: I’m still asking questions—but I no longer wonder where I belong. I’ve found something real in Jesus Christ. And every day, I keep finding Him to be REAL: full of Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love.

In a world where honest conversations about faith can feel risky or rare, this podcast creates space for them. I invite young women with diverse perspectives to cohost with me. Together, we share their stories and invite thoughtful Christian guests to explore the tough, personal questions they bring.

It’s not about proving a point—it’s about meeting people where they are, listening well, and reflecting Christ’s love through honest dialogue. My hope? That every cohost—and every listener—walks away having found something REAL, too.
