Did You Hear Me? Shan on Mercy, Agape, and Faith in Recovery
As we continue through this lent season, I pray, oh goodness, I pray. I pray that you look in the mirror and see that person looking back at you as the beloved, the beloved child of god.
Ever felt like you're not really listening to the important stuff in life? Shan, the Recovery Pastor, tackles this head-on in an episode that digs into mercy and agape love. Drawing from the scriptures of Luke and John, Shan explains how mercy isn't just about being kind; it's about how we'll be treated by God. He paints a vivid picture of agape as a deep commitment to others' well-being, showing how this love can create a ripple effect of positivity.
But Shan also throws in a cautionary note: don't try to mold the church to fit your own desires. Instead, he urges us to reflect God's light by showing mercy and agape love to those around us. He wraps up by encouraging listeners to see themselves as beloved children of God and to use the Lord's Prayer as a daily guide. It's a heartfelt episode that blends faith and recovery into a message of hope and compassion.
