Sometimes, life, career, and relationships are left in tatters. We aren't sure how things will work out or what can be fixed. In this episode and in Exodus 34 we'll look at how a gracious God and Advocate move toward the people of God and restore the broken things. In a time where much seems broken, the God of grace has good news for us.

"Do you want me to kill it?" These are words of the Angel in C.S. Lewis's book, The Great Divorce as he is speaking to a Ghost whose idol lives on his shoulder.

They make promises that are lies which we are tempted to believe. Peace, contentment, fulfillment, the list goes on. In this episode, we see how seeking Jesus can move us from fleeting affection and false promises to a satisfying affection and steadfast promises.
