Rick references a past episode “Embracing the Whole Story” 

Here’s the full quote Rick references: “Who you are and who you are not is uniquely designed to offer Christ’s life to the world. How you are gifted and how you are not gifted, this is designed for how you're to make Christ known to the world. What you possess and what you do not possess is uniquely designed to make him known.

What you can do and what you can not do is his design to make himself known through you. You are uniquely designed to offer Christ, and it is your lack, who you are not, what you don't possess, what you can't do, that is the most powerful part of the story. That's the gospel."

The Happy Envelope is a studio and store in Knoxville.
