In God, There is Room
/In this episode, we reflect on Jesus’ promise in John 14: “In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.” What if this isn’t only about the life to come—but about right now?
So many of us know what it feels like to not quite belong—to feel on the outside, or unsure of where we fit. Sometimes that experience comes from the world around us, and sometimes it comes from within our own hearts.
But what if belonging isn’t something we have to earn? What if it begins with trusting that we already have a place in God?
In In God, There Is Room, we explore the journey of learning to belong—to God, to ourselves, and to one another. And we consider the call to not only receive that belonging, but to help create it: to make space, to widen the circle, and to pull up more chairs so that everyone knows they have a place.
No matter where you are or how you’re feeling today—there is room for you here.
