Do you sometimes find yourself overlooked or on the outside of society? Do you have a hard time believing that God sees you, He hears you, and He loves you? In this “best of” episode of God Hears Her, Philip Yancey takes us on a journey across the globe to show how God can use some of the most unlikely women to reflect His image.
About our guest:
Philip Yancey grew up in a strict, fundamentalist church that radically shaped his view of God. Later in life, Philip began asking really difficult questions about God, Christianity, and the role of the church—questions that many people are scared to ask, but he did it out loud. Many of his bestselling books explore these deep questions of our faith. One of his most recent books, titled Fearfully and Wonderfully, explores the work Dr. Paul Brand and Philip Yancey did together in regard to people affected by leprosy. His memoir, Where the Light Fell: A Memoir, comes out in the Fall of 2021.
