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.

In this raw and unfiltered trailer, Bishop shares the cartel deals, prison riots, and shattered dreams — but more than that, the relentless grace that met him in the darkest places. This isn’t safe. This is The Church of Living Dangerously.
