Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2261590/fan_mail/new] Part 2 - What if the very thing you’re ashamed of… is the place where God wants to meet you? In this episode of The Truth Seeker’s Guide, host Felipe Aristizabal sits down with Chad Bird — theologian, Hebrew scholar, and author of Limping with God and The Christ Key — to uncover a powerful truth: God doesn’t choose people because they’re perfect. He chooses them because they’re real. Together, we explore how the story of Jacob reveals God’s heart for broken people — those who wrestle, fail, and still refuse to let go. Chad explains how grace transforms weakness into strength, how failure can become formation, and why the limp is the mark of those who have truly encountered God. This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever asked:  • “Can God still use me after I’ve fallen?”  • “How can I heal from shame and start again?”  • “What does true spiritual transformation look like?” It’s time to discover that your scars don’t disqualify you — they tell your story of redemption. 📖 Guest Info: Chad Bird is Scholar in Residence at 1517.org, author of Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship and The Christ Key: Unlocking the Centrality of Christ in the Old Testament. He is known for bringing deep theological insight to everyday life — showing how God’s grace meets us in the middle of our mess, not at the end of it.
