Cast it Anyway - Relationship, Turned by Grace

Send a prayer. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509/fan_mail/new] Relationship, Turned by Grace In this episode of From the Well to the World, we explore the deeply relational nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and what it means to be created in His image. While we are designed for connection with God and one another, sin often turns our hearts inward, leaving relationships strained or guarded. Drawing on Scripture and the insight of Martin Luther’s “inward curve,” this conversation reveals how the grace of Jesus Christ restores what has been broken, turning us outward again toward God and toward others. Join us as we reflect on how grace reshapes our relationships, renews our hearts, and leads us into a life marked by love, community, and hope. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Cast It Anyway – Trusting God in the Unknown

Send a prayer. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509/fan_mail/new] What does it look like to trust God when you can’t see the outcome? In this episode, Bernie and Pastor Dee walk through Ecclesiastes 11:1–6, a passage that calls us to live with open hands—sowing, giving, and trusting God beyond what we understand. Using the simple but powerful image of breadmaking, Pastor Dee reflects on what it means to release what we’ve prepared and trust the unseen work of God. Just like dough resting and rising out of sight, God is always working beneath the surface of our obedience. Together, we explore: * What it means to “cast your bread upon the waters” * Why obedience requires letting go of control * How to keep sowing—even in uncertainty * Trusting God in seasons when nothing feels predictable Whether you are in a season of waiting, stepping out, or starting over, this episode will remind you: nothing entrusted to God is ever wasted. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509
