Podrishioner Profile: John Mike Guzman Jr.
“I think it’s so important to approach each other with love as Christ has love for each of us.”
John has spent most of his life seeking to understand others, and has been fortunate enough to travel around the world meeting people from all different backgrounds. He echoes Woodland’s thoughts that tribalism is a problem in our culture, as much of the world is becoming polarized and divided into like-minded segments of people.

Jesus is good news! He’s good news for seekers, good news for saints and good news for sinners.

"I've been a WH podrishioner for several years now and I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. I came across these podcasts at a time when I was in an extremely unhealthy/abusive situation, and these teachings were immensely influential to me maintaining my faith and sanity.
