Ep 14 - All In for Jesus: From Religion to a Real Relationship with God | Unmasked Podcast

Pastor Vern Frank grew up in church, knew the language, and participated in the rituals—but he wasn’t saved. By 15, he had stepped away from church and was heading deeper into sin. Then a tragic accident on a dark highway and a 2 a.m. encounter with a TV evangelist brought him face to face with the reality of eternity.

At 19 years old, Vern got on his knees in his living room, surrendered to Jesus, and woke up the next day a completely different man—so different that his girlfriend (now wife) could see it before he ever explained what happened.

In this episode, we talk about:

Growing up religious but spiritually lost

The fatal accident that exposed how fragile life really is

Getting radically saved watching Christian television

How true conversion shows up in real, visible change

Why Jesus isn’t meant to be an “add-on” to your life

The call to ministry and a 22+ year wait to step into full-time pastoring

Hearing God’s voice, following His lead, and not bailing when it takes time

Practical guidance for anyone trying to discern: “Is this God or just me?”

Whether you’re wrestling with your own obedience, questioning your calling, or wondering if you’ve been living half-in, this conversation will help you slow down and take an honest look at what it really means to be “all in” for Jesus.
