NEW EPISODE! Jeremiah 29:11- The question isn't “have you heard this verse,” but rather, “have you ever heard the explanation of this verse?” We usually see the words from Jeremiah 29:11 penned on a graduation card, in social media captions, or proclaimed whenever someone enters a new season of life. But are we missing something? This verse says God has a prosperous future for us… but what happens when our life is really hard? Has God left us? How do we reconcile life's sorrowful trials with a verse that speaks about having “hope for the future” and a life “without harm”? Join us for episode 2 of our newest hermeneutics series! In this episode, Annie takes us on a deep dive into the Old Testament to explore the proper context of a verse that is so often copy-and-pasted in western society. Listen and learn with us on all streaming platforms!
