Send us a textWe've all heard that God works in mysterious ways.   Many stories in the Bible confirm this.  Since God's ways are so much higher than ours, Jesus often used paradoxes to teach deep spiritual truths.The word paradox comes from the Greek word para-doxon, which means contrary opinion. Here are two examples of Biblical paradoxes: we truly live by dying to ourselves, and we see unseen things. On this edition of Finish Strong, we take a deep dive into nine of the main paradoxes found throughout the scriptures.  Prepare to be blown away by the Godly wisdom they contain!Support the showFearless Faith Websiteffaith.orgTo leave a review - Open Finish Strong on the Apple Podcast app and scroll down until you see "Ratings & Reviews".
