What happens when ordinary people decide to follow God, without a roadmap or plan, into some of the most dangerous places on earth? In this episode of The Unfolding, Dan Chung shares his incredible journey from a Korean immigrant growing up in Chicago to co-founding Crossing Borders, an organization dedicated to rescuing and supporting North Korean refugees fleeing unimaginable oppression.

And you’ll discover how God uses ordinary people, willing to step into the unknown, to bring hope and healing.

Unfolding Short Stories: “You don’t have to throw your brain in the dustbin to be a Christian.”  Justin Brierley explains why he's still a Christian

“You don’t have to throw your brain in the dustbin to be a Christian.” Raised in the UK with few Christians around him, Justin Brierly encountered God powerfully at age 15. But later, in the halls of Oxford, doubt crept in. What followed was a deep search for truth that led to a career of asking hard questions and finding better answers. His book Why I’m Still a Christian tells that story. It's shaped by conversation, discovery, and a thoughtful pursuit of faith. “We all come to life with a worldview… the question is: which one makes better sense?”

Singer, songwriter, and worship leader Jaime Jamgochian knows what it means to wait, and to keep holding on when the future feels uncertain. After rising to the top of Christian radio with “Hear My Worship,” Jaime’s journey took unexpected turns: chronic illness, career setbacks, and a season of deep doubt.

In this episode of The Unfolding, Jaime shares how surrender, persistence, and the kindness of God have shaped her story, and how it all led to a new beginning with her album Sacred Surrender. Whether you’re waiting on healing, clarity, or hope, Jaime’s story will remind you God is still writing your story.
