Today we visit Basil, Switzerland and chat with Jason Chin, founder of Love Says Go, and learn about the radical love that pursued Jason through his life.

However, in his 30's Jason's resistance became no match for the power of prayer and the immense love of God that was pursuing him. Be filled with wonder and hope with us as Jason shares his encounter with God‘s presence and its dramatic effect on his life in this episode!Love Says Go -- https://www.lovesaysgo.com/Unseen -- https://www.lovesaysgo.com/books
