Remarkable podcast—everyone needs this!

I have been on a journey of faith for about 17 years that has included everything from rediscovering Scripture, learning to pray and talk with God, diving into what it means to be human and who God has revealed Himself to be, and exploring why we are here and what it all means. I have read books, done short online studies, attended Bible studies, listened to podcasts, and completed a graduate degree in Theology. Even with all of that, I have to say this is one of the best resources that has changed and grown my faith. I think the reason we struggle with faith and questions of the meaning of life so much is because we are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Much like one of those ambiguous images where you see nothing but an old woman until you shift your perspective and can see the young woman or can only see a rabbit until you are able to see a duck, Tom Hoopes does a masterful job of helping us flip our perspective and realize our place in history and God’s family. Everyone needs to listen to this podcast—you will never be the same and will truly find a greater peace and relationship with God.
