In this episode, Raz and Jamie continue their conversation with Josh Johnson, a real estate developer with a heart for building more than just physical structures. This time, Josh shares the story of a vivid dream from God—something rare for him—that changed the direction of his life.
In the dream, he and a group of friends were digging together in a field surrounded by trees. As he prayed into the dream, he sensed Jesus inviting him to build a city—not alone, but with friends. That calling led him to move to Redding, California, trusting God’s voice step by step.
The move was marked by a series of supernatural confirmations that made it surprisingly smooth at first. But once there, Josh encountered the deeper work of resilience—pressing on through delays, obstacles, and personal growth as God shaped more than just external plans.
Josh reflects on discovering his true identity as a builder—not just of places, but of people, community, and belonging. His story is a beautiful example of what it means to follow Jesus into both vision and hardship, and to create spaces where others can be fully known and loved.
