In this episode, Raz and Jamie talk with Steve Eklund about his journey of faith, renewal, and kingdom-minded leadership.

Steve shares how he came to faith in Jesus at 16, built a successful career in wealth management, and enjoyed a thriving family life — yet found his heart had quietly grown cold to God by the time he was 50. This realization sparked a deep question: “Do I really know love?”

That question led Steve into a fresh pursuit of God’s love and how to bring it into every sphere of life — from his business and ministry to his family and leadership. Today, as a real estate investor and coach/consultant, Steve helps individuals and companies discover how to integrate the Kingdom of God into their everyday work and relationships.

In this follow-up to the previous solo episode on developing a “Trinity-shaped” life, Jamie Moore is re-joined by co-host Paul Raz to explore what it actually looks like to live in ongoing relationship with each person of the Trinity.

They reflect on the dynamic adventure of walking with the Father, Son, and Spirit—contrasting it with the stale, rule-based version of faith many people have settled for. Together, they identify common mindsets and misconceptions that keep people stuck in religion instead of relationship, such as:

• Seeing God primarily as a distant authority figure instead of a loving Father.
• Thinking of obedience to the words of Jesus as oppressive and taking away all our fun, instead of giving us freedom and life.
• Failing to consider life as an adventure with the Triune God, who has plans for us - even in the mundane.

In this solo episode, Jamie Moore invites listeners into a personal and practical framework for developing a “God-shaped” vision for life—one that’s grounded in relationship with the Triune God.

Jamie unpacks how a healthy spiritual life includes knowing and relating to each Person of the Trinity individually and intimately:

• The Father — to know and experience His love, discovering your secure identity as His beloved child.
• The Son — to listen to and obey His voice, building your life on the unshakable words of Jesus.
• The Holy Spirit — to walk in His presence and power, learning to partner with Him daily in bringing the Kingdom to others.

This fresh framework encourages listeners to reflect on their current relationship with each Person of the Trinity and to pursue a life shaped by God Himself—from the inside out.
