Northgate Growth Journey
Exciting news: Growth Journey International Podcast is now Northgate Growth Journey! The name is new, but our mission remains the same—helping you grow in faith, heal your family, and become who God created you to be. Welcome to the Growth Journey International Podcast and the Nicodemus Effect—a movement, not just a podcast. Join over 27k “gold dot” listeners across every state, our growing global community, and service members stationed across overseas military bases for weekly conversations about growing in faith, healing our families, and becoming who God created us to be. The Nicodemus Effect describes what happens when people—like Nicodemus, who came to Jesus at night—quietly turn to our digital platforms to explore the Gospel in private, without fear of judgment or pressure from others.

While he possesses a brilliant mind, his speech is sometimes slow. Therefore, he uses assistive technology and a mix of authentic voices to share these messages. He does not want technology to overshadow the meaning behind the words, but to deliver these thoughts with the speed and clarity people deserve. The heart behind the memoir and podcast, and his passion for God’s Word, are genuine. He loves to see people grow spiritually, just as he did when this organization was created.
