POP GOD POPcast: Ep. 5 – Dr. Jake Malone

slide.001Welcome to Episode 5 of the POP GOD POPcast – an exploration into the lives of people seeking God in the present tense.

This week’s guest is Dr. Jake Malone. Jake has served for over 30 years in a all sorts of roles at First Baptist Church of Augusta, GA. Jake recently took a leave from his position at First Baptist to do battle against cancer. But cancer hasn’t slowed Jake down. Instead it has invigorated him with purpose as he has produced a new video series called Journey To Paradise as a teaching tool for those facing the challenge of death. Journey To Paradise is a travelogue for those traveling down a path we try to avoid talking about and I think it’s going to have a profound impact on many lives. Check out the podcast as we break down what Jake’s travels have been over his lifetime including 3 plus decades in full time ministry. It’s a personal and challenging conversation in an area I’ve never really explored before, and I think you’re gonna enjoy it.
