"Your potential is a gift from God; your growth is your gift back to Him." - David Avritt
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.
