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

Bernie and Dee reflect on how God is not finished with your story—and how His work of renewal is already unfolding, even when you cannot yet see it. Together, we explore: * What it means that God is always making things new * How His promises reach beyond circumstances into transformation through Christ * How to recognize His work in dry or uncertain seasons This is an invitation to look again, trust deeper, and believe that God is making a way—right where you are. Join us for five minutes of Scripture, encouragement, and prayer… and discover the “new thing” God may already be doing in your life. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509
