🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

Why is separation from God the root of all brokenness, and how do we become agents of healing?

In this episode Tyler, Maron, and Barry kick off Hope Month by diving into the first of the six broken places: separation from God. We explore why this is the granddaddy of all brokenness, unpack the scandal of grace and God's hesed love, and discuss what it means to be saved for, not just from. Don't forget to subscribe and follow us on Instagram ( @TheBetweenSundaysPodcast ) so you don't miss these candid and casual conversations. Next week's episode will be all about the second broken place: Injustice!
