“Taken,” Trahan, and Other Things That Point us to Jesus

Welcome, Friends, to our July episode of Light in Your Corner. Over the summer we have had to scale back on the number of episodes we drop, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in length—and quality, too. 

Today we will talk a lot about what we have been doing and reading and listening to and watching, and how our lenses of faith filter those things and point us to Christ. 

We also discuss what happens when we build up a false idea of Jesus in our minds and how God’s love might be painful as He strips away our misconceptions to draw us closer to Him. At the core of it all is our identity as children of God, grafted in and loved beyond measure. 

Thanks for joining us for this episode. We pray it brings some light to your day!
