God As Mother Hen :: LENT 2025

Our Lenten journey continues with Lead Pastor Scott Hodge reminding us how we can return to God's loving embrace and turn from the fears and distractions that keep us from hearing God's call. ••• QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION AND CONVERSATION: * Where in your life do you sense God longing to gather you — to hold you, love you, remind you that you belong? What would it look like to stop running and let yourself be gathered? And what’s one small way you can say “yes” to that invitation this week? * What are the “foxes” in your life right now — the fears, distractions, or voices that keep you from trusting God’s love? What do those voices sound like, and where do they show up? And how might you gently turn toward God’s voice of love instead? What helps you hear that voice? ••• To learn more about The Orchard Community visit theorchardcommunity.com [http://theorchardcommunity.com] Subscribe to Orchard Conversations in your favorite podcast app or at orchardconversations.com [http://orchardconversations.com]
