The author of the book “Jesus Changes Everything,” Doug Burleigh, was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio. They talked about the in-depth nature of the book’s theme and inspiration during the interview. Born from Burleigh’s life of discipleship, Jesus Changes Everything embodies years of observing how real change unfolds when people know Christ personally. His passion for guiding others toward that reality, rather than simply promoting doctrine, fueled the book’s creation. It is built on the conviction that faith becomes powerful only when rooted in relationship.
“Jesus Changes Everything” by Doug Burleigh is more than just a book—it’s a heartfelt testimony of how a genuine encounter with Jesus can radically transform lives. Burleigh explains a crucial difference: pursuing information about Jesus versus pursuing a personal encounter with Him. Information alone cannot forgive, comfort, or heal—but Jesus Himself does. Drawing from his decades of ministry experience around the world, Burleigh illustrates the supernatural, life-changing power of walking with Christ daily.
Doug Burleigh has been on the frontlines of ministry for Jesus for over 50 years, serving on Young Life staff for 25 years (the last five and a half years of which he served as national president), and the past 25 years with The Fellowship in Washington, D.C. Throughout the years, he has led over 65 “Jesus Conferences” for young people in all 15 nations of the former Soviet Union and every region of Russia. Doug holds a B.A. in Political Science and Russian from Willamette University, an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Washington, and an M. Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary. He has been married to the former Debbie Coe for 46 years; they have four grown children and 16 grandchildren and make their home in Arlington, Virginia.
This book challenges believers to move from mere service to intimate discipleship. Burleigh clarifies the spiritual shift from working for God (service) to living a daily walk with God (relationship). He offers practical guidance for living out a Kingdom-centered life—covering spiritual warfare (the Armor of God), discovering life purpose, and building transformative faith in crisis and joy.
Readers seeking a deeper, more authentic faith will find this book immediately relevant. Burleigh does more than teach theology—he shares absorbing stories, spiritual insights, and actionable discipleship tools. His message echoes the heart of transformational living: don’t just learn about Jesus—live with Him daily. Reviews affirm that Jesus Changes Everything truly lives up to its name, inspiring spiritual growth and Kingdom-focus across all life stages.
“Jesus Changes Everything” is a discipleship opportunity—a chance to grow in faith, courage, and intimacy with Christ. Doug Burleigh’s words remind us that while information can fill our minds, only Jesus can transform our hearts. If you’re seeking renewal, clarity, or simply the reassurance that God is still at work in the world today, this is a book you won’t want to miss.
More than a book, “Jesus Changes Everything” is an invitation to a vibrant, relational faith that defines true discipleship. Doug Burleigh’s immersive storytelling and seasoned wisdom make this work both accessible and profound. Whether new to faith or seasoned in it, this book calls every reader toward an immersive and life-altering journey with Christ.
