Episode Summary

This week we journey through Psalm 51, Deuteronomy 18, and Isaiah 29. Together we discover that God does not desire our performance but our openness, that the Levites’ inheritance was not land but God Himself, and that Isaiah warns against worship that is only lips and not heart. The throughline: to be chosen is to be shaped—sometimes pressed, sometimes broken, always remade—by the Potter’s hand.What
