🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

In this episode, featuring our founding senior pastor Dave Rodriguez, Tyler, Maron, and Dave dive into Hope Month's second broken place—injustice—exploring how we balance worship with justice and find our unique calling in a broken world. We reflect on personal encounters with suffering, the overwhelming nature of brokenness, and how to take faithful steps even when the pain feels too much.
