About this episode

Marianne discusses the themes of suffering, transformation, and community art through the lens of Isaiah 48:9-11.

Isaiah 48:9-11 Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name, I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out. I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering. I will rescue you for my sake— yes, for my own sake! I will not let my reputation be tarnished, and I will not share my glory with idols! + Creator shares glory with those who surrender to the furnace of transformation. Seek rescue wisely. *Sculptor Maureen Seamonds serves as a catalyst for community art in Webster City, Iowa.
