173: Engel Jones and the Power of Connection

Engel Jones is a podcaster and the best networker you’ve ever seen. He has to be because his podcast is all about 12 minute conversations and he’s done 2460 of them. Last year, he and his wife traveled the continental United States and Canada throughout the summer. I was privileged to sit down with Engel and his wife at Red Rocks park in beautiful Colorado while they were on that epic journey.

Today, Engel shares with us how growing up in an extended family influenced him, finding Christ in the religious melting pot of Trinidad, and how the Lord led him through divine connections. Engel sets tremendous goals and depends on the Lord to get them done. Even when he misses his target, he is still doing incredible things.

Give Engel’s story a listen!

Stories Engel shared:

Growing up in an extended family in Trinidad
Experiencing community of a large family
Going to church every Sunday as a child
The spiritual smorgasbord of Trinidad
Experimenting with marijuana as a teenager
Speaking in tongues for the first time
Starting a business and getting off of marijuana
How Gospel music and preaching helped him grow
How God uses divine connections in his life
How his podcast was inspired
How his show has changed his life
Setting tremendous goals to see what God will do

Great quotes from Engel:

I have never felt that God has left me.

Sometimes we need just one thing, one person to speak to us, to help us, to guide us to so much more.

Humanity is beautiful.
