"There are facets of the gospel that actually match my relational challenges, and I find new motivation to keep going where things might be broken" Join Amelia Rhodes, Stephen Lewis and Teaching Pastor Jeff Manion for Season 7 Episode 4 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast! We continue to dive into how our Gospel Shaped Identity shapes critical elements of our lives. We dive into some nerdy elements of the text, chat about how important the church community is, and how being people of the truth isn’t always about what we say, but sometimes about what we hide. Episode four is filled to the brim with practical applications and takeaways.
