⚡ Episode One: Divine Interruptions and a Bloody Nose

Welcome to the first episode of The Church of Living Dangerously. John Lee Bishop opens his story not with the cartel or prison years, but with where it all began: growing up in Vancouver, Washington, never once setting foot in church, and living life as a self-confessed rule breaker. He shares how a teenage love with Michelle, now his wife, grounded him, and how years later a simple sparring match turned into a near-death experience that exposed the truth about his faith.

In this raw beginning, Bishop introduces the idea of “divine interruptions” — moments that seem chaotic, painful, or even humiliating, but turn out to be the very places where God shows up. From blood-soaked nights in the ER to the haunting question, “Do you really know Jesus?”, this episode challenges listeners to move past empty words and into a real encounter with God. It is gritty, honest, and unapologetically direct — setting the stage for the dangerous road ahead.
