    Mystery of God

    Play Episode Listen Later May 1, 2025 7:38


    Podcast Recap: “The Mystery of God: Known Yet Unsearchable”In today's episode, we step into the awe and wonder of who God is—vast, holy, and beyond comprehension, yet intimately near. Drawing from Isaiah 55:8–9, we reflect on how God's thoughts and ways soar far above ours, inviting us not into confusion, but into deeper trust.We explore the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden, and how embracing God's mystery can lead to spiritual intimacy rather than distance. With personal stories, Scripture, and encouragement, this episode is a call to worship—not because we understand everything about God, but because He's faithful, good, and present even in what we don't understand.Let this episode remind you: it's okay not to have all the answers. Sometimes the most sacred place is found in surrender, in wonder, and in the quiet trust that His ways are always higher.

    This week, we are changing it up a bit for Easter.  Here is a song that I wrote that I am sharing with you.......Still LovedFriday looked like it was the end,But love showed up, called me friend.Cross on His back, thorns in His crown,He lifted me when I was down.The world went dark, but heaven shined,His heart was set on yours and mine.For God so loved, He sent the light,Gave His Son to make it right.Even when I turned away,He chose the cross, He chose to stay.No fear, no shame, I'm not alone—Still loved, still known, still called His own.Blood ran red, but love ran wild,Saving grace for every child.Nailed to death, but not for long,Sunday's coming — sing the song!The stone rolled back, the chains came loose,He gave His life, He called it truth.For God so loved, He sent the light,Gave His Son to make it right.Even when I turned away,He chose the cross, He chose to stay.No fear, no shame, I'm not alone—Still loved, still known, still called His own.Lori Lesnansky

     Hey Hey Friends, last week I watched the sunset cast over the horizon sweeping over the mountains of the peaks as the clouds kissed the mountain tops and enveloped the valleys. It's a reminder of our life. Life was created to be a journey and not a sprint. He is above all our peaks and valleys.  If you have ever been out on a good hike and when you take a moment to catch your breath to take a moment to take in the viewpoint or ascend to the peak, we marvel at the awe-inspiring landscape and how far we have come. In life, when the mountains call, remember before you start the journey, look back and see how far you have come to this point and HIS FAITHFULNESS. Join me today on a journey to build your faith to conquer when the mountains call.
