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
