About this episode

The episode discusses God's grace and the importance of inclusivity in the Christian faith.

God's grace is writing a story that includes all of us.He saw the heavens open and something like a sheet lowered down by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”Surely not, Lord! Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean. The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” -Acts 10:11 -15Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…-Matthew 28:18 -20Who is your Cornelius today?Who has God brought near to you that you have kept at a distance? The person you don’t understand? Who is your Peter today?Who has God sent into your life to help you take one step closer to Jesus? Who can help you understand what God is trying so hard to show you?
