about the show
Real Life with John Cowan is a weekly nationwide chat show, featuring a different high-profile guest every week. John talks with them about their life, their upbringing, their passions and their view of the world. And when appropriate, we chat about faith, spirituality and “God-stuff”.
Real Life with John Cowan is all about the big questions of life. To see previous guests who have appeared on Real Life, click here.
