The Jesse Wood Show | Featuring Jay Robinson

In this powerful episode of The Jesse Wood Show, Jesse sits down with Jay Robinson to unpack a story of identity, obedience, and radical surrender to God’s process.

What started as a viral moment, Jay burning his FedEx jacket in the fire and declaring his manna season was over, opens the door to a much deeper conversation about sonship, striving vs. abiding, and what happens when God lovingly removes what once sustained you.

Jay shares his journey from growing up in a strong Christian household, to building success in the music industry, to losing himself in outcome-based identity. After years of wrestling with God, compromising his convictions, and chasing success apart from intimacy, everything came to a head in 2020 with a life-altering encounter that forced full surrender.

Together, Jesse and Jay explore:

• What it really means to live as a son of God, not just believe in Him

• How culture distorts identity and pulls believers into striving instead of abiding

• Why success without intimacy can quietly destroy you

• The danger of outcome-based identity for creatives, entrepreneurs, and builders

• How God’s restraint is often protection, not punishment

• Why God may end your “manna season” before releasing you into promise

This episode is for anyone who feels unseen, stuck in transition, or confused about why God seems to be slowing things down. If you’re in a building season or a breaking one, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t withholding… He’s preparing you.

🎧 Part 2 coming soon as Jay continues his story through the wilderness, the root season, and what God rebuilt from surrender.
