🎯 IN THIS EPISODE: How does God meet us in our deepest pain, and what does it look like to be healing ambassadors? In this episode Tyler, Maron, and Barry dive deep into pain, healing, and hope, exploring how God shows up in our most broken places and how we can simply show up for others as agents of healing. We unpack what it means to be hope carriers in a world that desperately needs it, plus enjoy playful banter about soup controversies, cereal preferences, and ancient Greek myths—because even heavy topics need a little lightness! It's a warm, honest, and uplifting reminder that hope and healing are for everyone, even if it comes with a side of raisins in your soup. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:08 What's New with the Gang 18:06 Transition to Sermon Topic 18:32 Sermon Big Idea: Hope in Pain 20:07 Cereal Stories & Family Memories 23:36 Imminent vs. Immanent 25:05 Personal Stories in Sermon 27:27 Preparing for a Sermon on Pain 28:26 Books on Pain & Grief (See below for list) 31:44 Holistic Approach to Pain 31:44 Six Broken Places & Church Language 32:42 Fenelon's Letters & Accepting Pain 33:57 Hope vs. Pain: Sermon Shift 35:41 Eschatological Hope & Healing 36:33 Chora Church & Resurrection Imagery 38:22 Gospel Choir & Funeral Hope 39:37 Pain as Universal Broken Place 40:07 Mystery of Pain & Pastoral Response 40:52 Evidences of the Kingdom in Pain 41:07 Psalm 147 & Bandaging Wounds 43:20 Jesus' Inversion of Ritual Purity 44:55 Early Christian Hospitals & Compassion 46:32 Scripture Reading Choices 48:40 Jars of Clay & Suffering 50:46 Kintsugi & Beauty in Brokenness 52:35 Resurrected Bodies & Scars 55:35 Being Present in Others' Pain 58:13 Aroma of the Holy Spirit 59:39 "Smelling Christian" & Pastoral Presence 1:01:26 Evidences of the Kingdom: Glimpses of Heaven 1:02:07 Next Week: Decay & Creation Care 1:03:26 Lead Team Retreat & Upcoming Episodes 1:04:16 Where Do We Go Next? & Summerfest Episodes 📌 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Jars of Clay (Band) Calling Quilt Workshop (gracechurch.us/hope) Sunday of Service (gracechurch.us/hope) A Why to Live For by Dave Rodriguez A Grief Observed by C.S.
