In this episode of Engaging Truth, host Pastor Trey Sansom sits down with Pastor Jason Moreno of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in Houston to talk about the thought of Jesus’ ministry that never leaves his mind: “Christ always includes me.” Pastor Moreno shares how seasons of not fitting the mold—career shifts, loss, divorce, doubt, and ministry challenges—became the very places where Jesus met him with personal love, not reluctant permission.

Together, Trey and Jason explore how our deepest identity isn’t what we’ve done or what others say, but what Jesus says: beloved child. You are not an afterthought in God’s story—Jesus sees you, cherishes you, and calls you His own.
