 Wounds shape how we see the world. Scars show how we see God.

In this powerful episode, we explore the concept of scars—both physical and emotional—and the stories they tell. Join us as we reflect on our shared experiences of pain and healing, and how our scars can serve as reminders of resilience rather than shame.

Our host shares personal anecdotes, including humorous and poignant stories from his youth, illustrating how scars can mark significant moments in our lives. We delve into the deeper meaning of scars, discussing how they symbolize healing from past hurts and the importance of recognizing the grace that comes from overcoming challenges.

Through the lens of faith, we examine how God’s grace can transform our scars into symbols of victory and redemption. We also touch on the struggles of moving past trauma and the importance of allowing God to step into our pain for true healing.

Whether you have experienced deep wounds or carry lighter scars, this episode offers encouragement and hope for anyone seeking to redefine their identity beyond their past.

Tune in for a heartfelt message that reminds us all that while scars may tell stories of hurt, they can also be powerful testaments to healing and grace.

What Happened To Us? | Gavin Adams

Read along with our chosen scripture: Genesis 42

The relationships we fight for today will echo into future generations. Joseph’s story shows the power of multi-generational influence.

In this episode of our  series, "Stories," we dive deep into the life of Joseph from the Old Testament. Join us as we explore the profound impact of our decisions and how they shape not only our own stories but also the stories of those around us—often for generations to come.

We begin with a light-hearted anecdote about a haircut gone wrong, illustrating how some decisions stick with us longer than we expect. From there, we transition into the weighty decisions that can alter the course of our lives, whether they relate to relationships, finances, or personal integrity.

As we unpack Joseph's journey—from being sold into slavery by his brothers to rising to power in Egypt—we highlight the importance of choosing how we respond to adversity. Joseph's story serves as a powerful reminder that while we may not control what happens to us, we do have the power to write our own narrative in response.

We also reflect on the multi-generational influence of our actions, encouraging listeners to consider the legacy they are creating through their choices. What story do you want to tell? How can you make decisions today that will positively impact your future and the future of those you love?

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion, and be inspired to take charge of your story!
