What if the most famous verse in the Bible has been hiding a radical truth in plain sight that God’s default posture toward the world is mercy, not condemnation?
In this episode, we trace a clear line from Exodus 34 to John 3:16 to 2 Corinthians 5 and see the Father revealing His own heart: merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and rich in steadfast love. Psalm 23 becomes the lens through which we see that same Father lifting our heads when shame and fear weigh us down.
We talk honestly about years in ministry and a season of illness that brought everything back to the basics. “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself” becomes more than theology; it’s the beating heart of the gospel. The cross isn’t an angry Father punishing an innocent Son. It’s the Father Himself bearing our pain and inviting us into His work of reconciliation.
Watch the heart of God in the actions of Jesus: seeing the unseen, lifting the fallen, forgiving the guilty, calling the unlikely. From the tax collector in the tree to the woman caught in adultery, the message is consistent—rescue over condemnation, presence over distance, grace over performance.
That same grace reshapes how we see world evangelism. If the gospel is truly good news, then prayer, generosity, and going are not burdens to bear but joys that love inspires. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that Christ now lives in us, and His compassion is reflected in our choices, prayers, and even our financial decisions.
We close with a prayer:
Father in heaven, please do a work today. Bring honor and glory to Your name. Motivate us to give what You want us to give, to go where You call us to go, and to live in a way that shows the world Your mercy.
