What does it mean to be made in the image of God as an LGBTQ+ Christian? Rev. Dr. Hannah Ka is joined by Benicio Casillas, a transgender Christian and member of First United Methodist Church of San Diego, for a conversation about faith, identity, Ecclesiastes 3, and trusting God when life refuses to fit into neat categories. This is Episode 1 of our four-part Imago Dei 2.0 series celebrating the many ways the image of God is reflected in the diverse people of our church family. In this episode, Benicio shares his experience growing up Catholic, coming out as transgender, finding an LGBTQ-affirming church at First United Methodist Church of San Diego, and discovering what it means to embrace that he was created in God's image. Inspired by the Bible passage Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, the episode explores: Exploring faith through the lived experience of LGBTQ+ Christians What "made in the image of God" means for transgender and queer people Ecclesiastes 3 and learning to trust God amid uncertainty Why conformity is not the same as holiness How every person's authentic story reflects the image of God The spiritual and emotional impact of being told you don't belong The biblical theme of the image of God (Imago Dei) and what it means for all people This conversation is for you if you're: Looking for an affirming Christian perspective on LGBTQ+ faith Deconstructing or reconstructing your faith Curious about progressive Christianity Wrestling with questions about identity and belonging Interested in the Bible, theology, and inclusive churches Reflection Questions Where in your life have you been thinking in "either/or" categories? What might become possible if you imagined a wider spectrum of possibilities? Ecclesiastes names two extremes, like weeping and laughing, silence and speaking. Where do you find yourself somewhere in between those extremes today? Or perhaps a mixture of both? How has someone's story helped you see God, or the image of God, in a way you hadn't seen before? Continue the Conversation This episode accompanies our sermon series, Imago Dei 2.0, exploring the many ways God's image is reflected in the people of our church community. Whether you're an LGBTQ+ Christian, an ally, deconstructing your faith, or simply curious about inclusive Christianity, we'd love to continue the conversation: Convergence discussion group (Sundays at 12 PM) Join our Patreon community First United Methodist Church of San Diego is an LGBTQ-affirming, progressive Christian congregation committed to justice, inclusion, and spiritual growth.

Josh, Braden, and Logan discuss Pastor Troy's new sermon series, “The Fear of the Lord,” centered on Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” They reflect on how seeing God clearly leads to humility, right self-understanding, and refusing to treat God's word and character as just another opinion. Referencing Pastor Troy's story about astronauts gaining a bigger perspective and Isaiah 6, they distinguish reverent awe (yirah) from being afraid of God, describing it as deep respect and awareness of consequences. They talk about how making God “common” can make obedience feel optional and emphasize humility, trust, ongoing surrender, and seeking God first, sharing personal experiences of addiction, renewal, and obedience. The episode ends with a prayer inviting listeners into a relationship with Jesus and encouragement to reach out and attend the next message.

A man's lifelong hope to die while worshiping becomes reality when he collapses during a song based on Psalm 90, giving Jase, Al, and Zach a sobering reminder to number their days. The guys contrast that peaceful view of eternity with a billionaire biohacker's costly quest to reverse aging and escape death, then connect Phil's final years to Al's growing urgency to leave a lasting legacy for his family. Jase digs into James 2 and Genesis 22 to show why real faith cannot remain only a belief—it listens, trusts, and acts even when God's plan seems impossible. In this episode: Psalm 90; James 1; James 2:14–26; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 12; Genesis 22; Joshua 2; Matthew 1; John 1; John 3:16; John 3:19–21; John 8:58; Romans 4:20–21; Romans 9; Hebrews 6; Hebrews 11 “Unashamed” Episode 1378 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — Get a better solution at half the cost of traditional healthcare! https://www.bruntworkwear.com/UNASHAMED — Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code UNASHAMED #Bruntpod #sponsored http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Listen to Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or anywhere you get podcasts.

As we finish our series on seeing things the way God sees them. We look at the "million dollar question." Where is God in my trial, in my difficult chapter of life? We take a few different looks on how we can navigate through trials and look for God to lead us through.

Moving from Seeing Threats Everywhere to Seeing God in All Things We live in times that can feel deeply threatening. Can we acknowledge those threats honestly and still keep our eyes on God's presence and God's promise? Let's explore how faith helps us move from seeing danger everywhere to seeing Divine Providence at work in all things. 7/5/26 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Subscribe and review our podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us Fan MailUnless the seed goes into the ground and dies, it will not grow and bear fruit. When Jesus said that, He was referring to Himself that He would be killed, buried and bear the fruit of salvation for those who believed.This principle is also true in the Christian life. It is in the dying to ourselves that we can live a fruitful life. I can only die to myself when I see God. And I can se God through Jesus Christ And I csn se Christ in His Word.Unfortunately, dying to self does not come easy, it is not natural. It is supernatural. Perhaps this message is just the thing to get you out of a slump and living life again.

In this episode, we learn that when we encounter the living God, our priorities shift. We are challenged to learn to see God at work throughout our day!

In this message from The Beatitudes, Caleb Cole teaches from Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” A pure heart is not a perfect heart, but an undivided heart surrendered to God. Through Scripture, Caleb challenges us to examine our speech, money, thoughts, actions, and eyes, and to ask Jesus for a new heart that can truly see and experience God.

Have you ever looked around at your life and realized you've been operating in survival mode for so long that you don't even remember what peace feels like? This episode is one that will stay with you. I'll be honest—I recorded this conversation while I was personally running on empty. I was battling shingles, a fever blister, and feeling completely worn down, which made this conversation about stress, trauma, and healing hit especially close to home. Today I'm joined by Bethany Rose, a woman with an incredible story of faith, heartbreak, resilience, and redemption. Bethany now helps women break free from chronic fight-or-flight and find healing in both their nervous systems and their relationship with God. But what shocked me most about her story? She discovered that the man she thought she was legally married to... wasn't actually her husband at all. What followed was a journey that challenged everything she thought she knew about her life, her faith, and God's voice. Connect with Bethany  In This Episode We Discuss: ✨ Bethany's journey through seasons of closeness with God—and seasons where she felt far from Him ✨ Why both working moms and stay-at-home moms face unique challenges ✨ How anxiety and panic attacks began after becoming a mother ✨ The physical symptoms of chronic stress and unresolved trauma ✨ Living through betrayal, infidelity, and emotional turmoil ✨ Learning to discern God's voice from fear, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts ✨ The shocking discovery that changed the course of her life ✨ What Bethany means when she says: "The world I thought I was living in didn't exist." ✨ Becoming a single mom and rebuilding life from the ground up ✨ Seeing God's provision show up in remarkable, detailed ways ✨ Why the Church truly becomes the hands and feet of Jesus ✨ How trauma gets stored in the body ✨ The effects of long-term fight-or-flight on your health, immune system, and emotional well-being ✨ Why healing the nervous system matters for Christian women ✨ The connection between regulation, purpose, and living out what God created you to do Whether you're navigating grief, betrayal, burnout, divorce, motherhood, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, this conversation is a powerful reminder that God sees you, holds you, and often provides in ways we don't recognize until we look back. ________________________________________________________ Welcome to The Well Community!

When it feels like God isn't showing up for you, how do you even begin to pray? Join us for this episode of the Bible Book Club as we dive into a powerful Psalms Bible study and uncover five raw, honest prayers David hands us in Psalms 17–21. These Old Testament prayers serve as a practical Christian prayer guide to help you pray through the hard times. What you'll learn in this Psalms 17–21 Bible study:[02:52] Feeling invisible to God (Psalm 17): What David really meant when he begged to be the "apple of God's eye" and why the original Hebrew makes it one of the most tender images in all of Scripture[11:32] Coming through something hard (Psalm 18): How Psalm 18 teaches us to pray with adoration first and why starting with who God is changes everything about how we pray through the hardest times in life[18:54] Seeing God everywhere (Psalm 19): Why Psalm 19:1-2 was on a hand-written card aboard Artemis II, 252,760 miles away from Earth[24:36] Facing a battle you're scared to lose (Psalm 20): What "trusting in chariots and horses" actually looks like today and whether the thing you're relying on most is God or just a very sophisticated plan B[30:18] Celebrating a win (Psalm 21): What the Hebrew word hesed reveals about why King David really won in the Psalms, and what that means for us through JesusPsalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPsalm 8 (Hallé) by Phil WickhamACTS Prayer GuidePsalms Prayer List - Coming Soon!Group Discussion Questions for Psalms 17–21[04:09] David felt unseen and unloved by God even while doing everything right. Have you ever been in a season where your faithfulness seemed invisible to God and everyone around you? How did that shape the way you prayed?[15:30] Psalm 19 describes two ways God speaks to us: through creation and through His Word. Which one tends to draw you closer to God more naturally, and how could you lean into that even more?[25:50] Psalm 20 warns against trusting in chariots and horses.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO: JOEY FRIED CORP AND FOGLER, RUBINOFF FOR THEIR GENEROUS SPONSORSHIP! Welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show. There are some books that inform. There are others that inspire.

In this moving and deeply personal conversation, Avrum Rosensweig sits down with renowned educator, speaker, and author Michal Horowitz to discuss her remarkable new book, 'Abled: Living With a Disability, A Torah View.' Born and raised in Toronto and trained as an audiologist, Michal began experiencing severe hearing loss as a young adult. What could have become a story defined by limitation instead became a life of extraordinary purpose, faith, resilience, and Torah teaching. Together, Avrum and Michal explore what it means to live in a hearing world while navigating profound hearing impairment, how Judaism understands disability and human dignity, and why every person—regardless of ability—reflects the image of God. This is a conversation about courage. It is a conversation about faith. And ultimately, it is a conversation about what it truly means to live an abled life. Riveting Moments from This Interview 08:35 — "I felt like my body had betrayed me." Avrum shares the emotional aftermath of his first heart attack, leading to a profound discussion about illness, loss, and identity. 15:40 — The Moment Michal Realized She Was Losing Her Hearing Michal recounts the frightening early signs of hearing loss and the long journey toward diagnosis and acceptance. 24:15 — What Hearing People Don't Understand About Hearing Loss A powerful conversation about loneliness, stigma, exclusion, and the hidden struggles of living with hearing impairment. 36:50 — Can Disability Become a Spiritual Gift? Michal explains how Torah transformed her understanding of suffering, purpose, and human dignity. 49:20 — The Cochlear Implant Debate Michal speaks candidly about her son's success with cochlear implants and why she remains hesitant to undergo the procedure herself. In This Episode • Living with severe hearing loss • The emotional realities of disability • Torah perspectives on dignity and inclusion • Faith, resilience, and personal growth • Tinnitus and speech discrimination • Cochlear implants and medical technology • Parenting, teaching, and inspiring others • Seeing God's image in every human being If you enjoyed this conversation, please Like, Subscribe, and Share. #MichalHorowitz #HearingLoss #Disability #AbleBook #Torah #Judaism #Faith #HumanDignity #CochlearImplants #AvrumRosensweigShow #MichalHorowitz #HearingLoss #HearingImpairment #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #CochlearImplants #HumanDignity #JewishLife #TorahWisdom #Judaism #FaithAndResilience #SpiritualGrowth #JewishAuthor #JewishEducation #InvisibleDisability #LivingWithDisability #InspirationalStories #ImageOfGod ——

In this episode, Jerrad reflects on Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal and the bold moment when Elijah poured water over the altar before asking God to send fire. For dads who feel the pull to manage, manipulate, or quietly “shuffle the deck,” this is an invitation to real surrender. What would it look like to give God the wet wood and trust Him to be the fire?

This conversation I have with my friend Ashley Romney started with a simple question about her journey with God, and somewhere in the middle of it she said something that caught me off guard... I had to stop and just sit with it. Ashley is a coach for young women, helping them move through shame and into the truth of who they are as loved children of God, and she was a client of mine before this. We get into what it actually looks like to stop earning your worth and start receiving it.Ashley Romney is a coach for young women who walks them through shame and the things that block us from living into our identity as loved beings. You can connect with her at https://ashleyromney.com/Here's what we explore:▪️What changes when you stop seeing God as a "Santa Claus god" who's keeping a list▪️The five-year relationship Ashley stayed in trying to save someone, and what finally helped her take the leap▪️How she went from receiving everything through other people to hearing God for herself▪️"Love is all that exists" and what it does to your fear when you actually believe it▪️The porcupine and the puppy dog... a picture of what it looks like to learn to receive love▪️Why she competed in nine pageants, never won the crown, and how God showed her she was "secret Miss Murray" all along▪️Why your worth was never actually in questionChapters:00:00 Meeting Ashley and Why This Conversation Stayed With Me01:31 The "Santa Claus God" and Trying to Earn Worth06:41 Building Faith Back and Learning to Hear God for Herself11:40 When "Love Is All That Exists" Started to Change Everything17:23 The Porcupine and the Puppy Dog: Learning to Receive Love20:17 Nine Pageants, No Crown, and Being "Secret Miss Murray"33:21 Seeing God as a Partner Who Has Faith in YouIf something in this conversation stirred something in you, I'd love for you to just sit with it.

Every person carries a story, but true meaning is found when we recognize God as the Author shaping every chapter for His glory. We explore how God remains present in seasons of brokenness, invites us to come to Christ as we are, and uses every circumstance to form us for His purpose. Through the stories of Joseph and ultimately the cross, we are reminded that no chapter is beyond God's redemption and that our hope is found not in a perfect storyline, but in a perfect Savior.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays.

This Sunday, Pastor Mike continues in our Year of the Word series with a message titled, "Seeing God's Purposes - 1 & 2 Chronicles."

There are moments in life that don't just hurt…They redefine everything. The kind of moments where what you believed about your life, your future, even your identity…suddenly no longer fits. In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I sit down with Sarah S. Brown for a conversation that moves gently, but deeply, through heartbreak, healing, and the journey of becoming.

Pastor Luke Simmons explores what Jesus means when he says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). In this message from our series “A Blessed Life,” Luke unpacks what the Bible means by “heart,” why purity of heart matters, and how it clears or clouds our vision of God. He also shows how we can pursue a pure heart through trusting Christ and guarding what we allow to shape our inner life.BOOKMARKS:00:00 - Introduction: Until Initiative update & breaking ground05:39 - Big Idea: Your vision of God is clarified or clouded by your heart06:46 - Your Heart: What the Bible actually means by “heart”11:14 - Pure in Heart: Internal vs. external and the single-minded heart15:59 - Seeing God: What it means to “see” God now and in eternity24:25 - Pursue Purity of Heart: Put your hope in Jesus and guard your heart**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Have we become too casual with a Holy God?In this message, Pastor Harrison Conley reminds us that rightly seeing God's holiness restores reverence, humility, and awe. Be encouraged to approach God boldly through Jesus, while never losing the wonder of who He truly is.

Ephesians 3:12 reminds believers that through Jesus Christ, we have direct and confident access to God’s presence. This devotional by Whitney Hopler highlights the incredible truth that prayer is not reserved for the spiritually elite or those who “have it all together.” Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, every Christian has VIP access to God anytime, anywhere. Highlights Ephesians 3:12 teaches that believers can approach God boldly through faith in Christ. God’s presence is always available because of Jesus’ sacrifice. Prayer is based on God’s grace, not personal performance or perfection. God invites believers to come honestly with fears, doubts, frustrations, and gratitude. Christians are not distant from God—they are His beloved children. Seeing God as a loving Father changes the way we pray and relate to Him. God listens attentively and desires authentic relationship with His people. Have an idea for our newsletter? We want to hear from you! Take our survey below: Take Our Survey!

Full Transcript Below: You Have VIP Access to GodBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” – Ephesians 3:12, NLT When I was a newspaper reporter, my press credentials usually got me access to people at events that the general public couldn’t access. I often found myself in the “VIP section” of whatever event I was covering, so I could talk to the leaders freely. I felt confident that I didn’t have to worry about how I’d contact the people I needed to talk to for each story I wrote. Many times, people wanted to talk with me so much that they pursued me and made themselves available for conversations whenever it worked best for me during the events, despite all of their other responsibilities there. So, I certainly felt like a “very important person” in the VIP sections there. It’s even more incredible that my Creator – God – gives me VIP access to talk with him anytime and anywhere. God does the same for you! God is the ultimate leader. No one has more responsibilities than God, or is busier than God is. But God is willing to pursue us and make himself available for us to talk with whenever and wherever we are. Of course, God isn’t motivated by wanting publicity. God’s motivation is simply that he loves us so much that he wants to communicate with us often. Ephesians 3:12 tells you that because of Christ and your faith in him, you have VIP access to God. Not limited or occasional access, but full access! You can come boldly and confidently into God’s presence right now. You don’t have to wait until you feel more faithful or until you try to clean up a mess in your life. You don’t need to impress God or beg him to let you come to him. Your invitation to access and enjoy God’s presence is Jesus himself. Because of what Jesus has done to pay for your sins and connect you with a holy God, the door is already open, and you’re always welcome to walk through it. Still, you might hesitate to pray because you feel unworthy, distracted, or unsure if God will really hear your prayers and answer them. Maybe you think God is disappointed in you, or that God is too busy dealing with bigger problems to be bothered with your concerns. But Ephesians 3:12 makes it clear that confidence in God’s presence is not about you – it’s about Jesus, who has already opened the door for you to fully access God. VIP access gives you the confidence of knowing you belong in God’s presence. When you trust what God promises you in this verse, you can come to him boldly. God invited you to enjoy VIP access because you’re truly a very important person. You’re one of God’s beloved children, connected to him by Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice as the world’s Savior. You don’t have to hide from God, and you don’t have to perform for God, either. You can come to God just as you are, communicate with God honestly, and enjoy God’s unconditional love for you. God is there for you in the middle of everything you go through in this fallen world. You can ask God your questions, seek God’s strength as you deal with your weaknesses, and share all your thoughts and emotions – even the most difficult ones – with God. When you come to God honestly, he is pleased because he wants to see you respond to his grace and connect with you authentically. VIP access to God changes how you pray. You don’t have to try to clean up your life first. You can talk to God about your fears, your frustrations, and your doubts, as well as your hopes and your gratitude. You have the freedom to pray in whatever ways work best for you. God isn’t grading your prayer; he’s welcoming you into a closer relationship every time you communicate with him. It also changes how you see God. Instead of seeing God as a distant authority figure, you can see that God is your loving Heavenly Father. Instead of wondering if God’s listening to your prayers at all, you can trust that he’s listening carefully. So today, remind yourself that through Jesus, you have VIP access to God. The door is open for you to walk through. Come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. God is ready to meet you anytime and anywhere, just as you are! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider the blessing of having VIP access to God, reflect on these questions: Do you currently approach God with the confidence of a VIP, or do you feel like you’re still waiting for permission to enter God’s presence? What’s one fear or mistake that makes you feel unworthy of God’s attention right now? How can you let that go and come to God anyway? How does knowing that God is never too distant or busy for you change how you plan to communicate with God from now on?

The Scripture uses many metaphors to describe God's characteristics, one of which is motherhood. We see all throughout the Bible how motherhood reflects the image of God through His care, compassion, and love.

Read OnlineJesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.” John 12:44–46Do you want to see God? Our faith teaches that those who die in a state of grace will enjoy the Beatific Vision, the clearest and most intense perception of God's essence and glory. For those still in need of purification, God's mercy provides the gift of Purgatory, preparing them to gaze upon Him for eternity. In Heaven, all will see God face-to-face and experience perfect happiness in communion with Him and all the saints. But the promise of seeing God does not begin only in Heaven. Through faith, we begin to see Him even now. Do you see the Father?Jesus promises, “Whoever believes in me also believes in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.” On earth, Jesus revealed the Father as “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). Though Jesus' divinity was veiled within His humanity, faith allowed His followers to perceive the Father's presence through Him. To look upon Jesus was truly to gaze upon God, even if God's full glory was hidden.Today, after Jesus' Ascension, His presence remains with us, especially in the Eucharist. Though our senses perceive only bread and wine, faith reveals that we are gazing upon God. As Saint Thomas Aquinas proclaimed in Tantum Ergo, “Faith for all defects supplying, where the feeble senses fail.” When we approach the Eucharist with faith, we see Jesus, and through Him, we see the Father.Beyond the Eucharist, we encounter God's presence every time we are touched by grace, perform an act of charity, receive the Sacraments, or prayerfully read His Word. God reveals Himself in hidden form through these moments, inviting us to recognize Him with the eyes of faith.Jesus also said, “I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.” The light is perceived in our souls through an interior illumination that assures us of God's presence and action in our lives. Faith enables us to see His work and know for certain that He is near. Do you see this Light? Do you see the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit?Doubt, the opposite of faith, brings darkness into our lives. While doubt is a common human struggle, God invites us to move beyond it. Authentic faith, bestowed by God, grants certitude more profound than anything we perceive with our physical senses.Reflect today on Jesus' promise that when we see Him, we also see the Father. Is your spiritual vision clear? Do you perceive God's presence daily? If not, seek Him in prayer, the sacraments, and the grace-filled moments of life. The more we form the habit of seeing God, the more attuned we will become to His presence. This habit prepares us for the glorious day when we will see Him face-to-face in Heaven, beholding Him in eternal joy and love.My ever-present Lord, though You ascended into Heaven, You remain with us by grace. Your true presence touches me day by day. Help me to see You, and through You, to see the Father. Give me this spiritual sight so that I can walk with You in this life and enjoy You forever in the next.

This episode wasn't planned. It wasn't polished. It wasn't scheduled. It wasn't convenient.   And that's exactly the point.   After preparing to record several deeply personal episodes for the second half of Season 3, life pivoted unexpectedly. Sudden illness. A car accident involving my son. A morning that felt derailed before it even began. And in the middle of it all, one message became crystal clear: Satan doesn't win.   Not today. Not in the details. Not in the end.   In this raw and real episode (recorded sick, makeup-free, and completely unfiltered), we talk about: Recognizing spiritual warfare in the everyday The "what-if loop" that fuels anxiety and regret The freedom found on the "what-is path" Seeing God's sovereignty in the smallest details Why our stories are bigger than us Drawing from personal experience and a recent conversation with Katherine Wolf (Hope Heals), we unpack how quickly we can spiral into: "What if I had left earlier?" "What if I had done this differently?" "What if this hadn't happened?" But the what-if loop leads to anxiety. The what-is path leads to sovereignty.   The what-is path asks: What is true right now? Where is God showing up? Where is He providing? Where is He protecting? Where is He proving faithful? This episode is a reminder that even when the day falls apart… Even when plans are interrupted…   Even when illness, accidents, or unexpected pivots hit… God is not surprised. He is sovereign. He is present. He is already providing. And Satan does not win. We also reflect on Beth's cancer journey and the eternal perspective that reminds us: The enemy may fight hard. But he loses. Daily. And most importantly, eternally.   If you're walking through a hard day, a hard season, or just an unexpected pivot — this episode is an invitation to step off the what-if loop and onto the what-is path. Look for where God is working. He is there. Reflection Questions Where am I stuck in a what-if loop right now? What is true in my story today? Where is God already providing? Where has He protected me in ways I may have overlooked? What would it look like to trust His sovereignty in this detail? Sometimes faith isn't polished. Sometimes it's shaky and scratchy-voiced and wrapped in a t-shirt and a hat. But even there — He doesn't lose. You are seen. You are known. You are deeply loved.   Companion Resources for this episode: Fill In The Blank Listening Guide Full Episode Study Guide 7 Day Companion Scripture Guide Small Group Discussion Guide
