One Single Story: Judgment and Renewal in Joel

Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski explore the book of Joel, discussing the crucial difference between asking for forgiveness and genuine heart repentance, and what it means to experience God's renewal.

Scripture Focus: Joel 1:1–3:21 - Joel's prophecy of judgment through locusts, God's promise of restoration, and the outpouring of the Spirit that Peter quotes on Pentecost.

In This Episode:

• The difference between forgiveness and true repentance
• What "rending your heart" really means
• The Spirit being "poured out" versus just "poured"
• Moving from spectator to participant in faith

Key Quote: "When my heart was ripped, I didn't care about the fallout or the mess. I just wanted to make sure that the relationship was restored and that God had forgiven."
