The Connected Life

259: God with Us


Listen Later

When we look at the difficulties in our lives, and see the suffering in the world, it's easy to feel like we've been abandoned and left all alone to survive. But what if in the midst of all the messiness there's a God that's always with us and deeply cares about us?

In this episode Abi and Justin discuss the ways a good and radically loving God found His way into our humanity, starting by tangibly stepping into the human condition, and then further extending Himself into our individual experiences. They reflect on beautiful moments in their own journey where God connected to them through people, nature, circumstances, and miracles. Lastly, they discuss how our pain and suffering can blind us to God's involvement and how looking back on our story, with curious wonder, can often reveal the places He was especially close when we couldn't understand or see it.

If you need encouragement and a friendly reminder that your life matters, this episode will give you confidence that you're not alone while shining a light on goodness in the most difficult circumstances. Don't miss out!
