The FOUND Podcast with Lorie Hartshorn

How do we share Jesus with people who are increasingly skeptical of Christianity?
In a world marked by cultural division, spiritual curiosity, and changing attitudes toward faith, how can Christians represent Jesus with confidence, humility, and love? In this episode of The FOUND Podcast, Lorie Hartshorn sits down with pastor and author Jon Thompson to explore his book, Presence: Resilient Witness in Times of Retreat and Revival.
Drawing on nearly three decades of pastoral ministry in one of North America's most diverse regions, Jon shares why the answer isn't to retreat, argue, or rely on a formula. Instead, he invites us to rediscover the power of presence: building authentic relationships, asking meaningful questions, extending hospitality, and sharing the Gospel through the love and power of the Holy Spirit.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
- How to share Jesus in a post-Christian and increasingly skeptical culture
- Why spiritual curiosity and scepticism can exist at the same time
- How love, word, and power work together in sharing the Gospel
- Why hospitality and authentic relationships create opportunities for meaningful conversations about faith
- How knowing your identity in Christ helps you represent Jesus without fear
You don't have to retreat from a changing world. God has placed you right where you are to be a faithful, compassionate, and courageous witness for Jesus.

What happens when the success you've worked so hard for still leaves you empty?
In this deeply honest conversation, K.R. Davidson joins Lorie to share his journey from ambition and performance to surrender, restoration, and purpose. A police officer, lawyer, business owner, pastor, and leader, K.R. appeared to have it all but beneath the success was a relentless search for purpose that eventually cost him his peace and his marriage. Then everything changed.
K.R. shares how surrender became the beginning of transformation, how God miraculously restored his marriage after five years apart, and what he discovered about identity, grace, and purpose on the other side of failure.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- How performance and ambition can mask deeper struggles with identity
- The moment surrender changed the direction of K.R.'s life
- The incredible story of his marriage being restored after five years apart
