Wrap-Up and Review - Season 10

Join us as we wrap up an enlightening season filled with growth in both our understanding of God and our vocabulary! Listen in as Julie and Matt reflect on the powerful words and attributes of God we've explored together. Get ready to expand your lexicon even further because we're introducing one last hefty term: attentive. Discover what it means for God to be attentive and how this divine quality enables Him to hear and respond to each of us, no matter where we are or what we're going through. Brittney, a 911 operator, drops by for an engaging chat about the importance of being attentive in her critical role. Brittney's insights give us a unique perspective on this week's attribute and illustrate how, even in our human capacity, we can embody attentiveness to serve and respond to those around us. Don't miss out on this conversation that not only celebrates the end of a fantastic season but also equips us to be more attentive in our daily lives.
