Today we’re joined by Jason Heinritz — husband, father, entrepreneur, ministry leader, and founder of the Wake Up Jesus People movement.

After decades of high-level success in business, Jason hit a wall — and realized that all the achievement in the world means nothing without alignment to God’s purpose. That moment of surrender changed everything.

Now, he’s leading a movement to help believers wake up from spiritual autopilot, rediscover joy, and build holy rhythms through his book, Wake Up Jesus People, his Sacred Start Journal, and his 40-day challenge called The 40 Forge.

Jason’s story is one of surrender, rhythm, and revival — and today, we’re breaking it all down.
