About this episode

This episode explores the theme of belonging through the story of 12-year-old Jesus in Jerusalem.

Have you ever been found somewhere you didn’t belong? Where do you belong? This week’s gospel passage is about the 12-year-old Jesus who stayed behind in Jerusalem after his parents mistakenly left him. When they finally found them, he was exactly where he belonged. Join Fr. Ben Williams this week as we consider the implications of living in God’s presence.
