"The Lord sometimes reveals himself to us and shows himself to us in ways that we wouldn't know apart from our flesh and our heart failing."
— Megan Hill
Today's Episode: Join Natalie Abbott and Megan Hill as they discuss both individual failure and corporate failure in the church and how God meets us in both places. Megan gives spiritual insights and practical advice for how we can deal with our own doubts and disappointments by honestly bringing them to God and relying on others to lift us up. She also gives us some helpful categories for understanding the failures of others in the church, and she walks us through what we can do when we experience those hurts first-hand. It's a great conversation that helps us understand a biblical framework for how God is always at work even through our failures, both individually and corporately.
