God on the Mountaintops and in the Messes

Welcome, everyone, to the top of this episode and the top of Mount Sinai! It’s been a few weeks, but we are back with Moses and talking about all kinds of good things, like the benefits of taking time to recall what God has done, sifting through the details to get to the heart of things, and how we are designed for community—regardless of the mess.

Because the truth is God knew this would be messy. He knew we would need Him, He designed us that way, and He draws us to Himself because He loves us. Keep that in mind as we dive in, because if anyone is messy, it’s us.
