Is God On My Side? | Rev. Dani Hillyer & Matt Mattson

About this episode

The episode explores the question of whether God is on our side or if we are projecting our beliefs onto the divine.

10 Profound Questions of Faith | This episode is part of a limited series of The BETWEEN Podcast where we're exploring ten, big, heavy, difficult, profound faith questions. Is God really on our side? Or are we just projecting our own beliefs onto the divine? Maybe the issue isn't about sides or winning. It’s about seeing beyond our us-versus-them mentality and recognizing the divine in every soul. When we believe God is only on our side, we risk forgetting that Divinity might be closer to the squishy, fragile parts of us — the raw, vulnerable core beneath all our masks. What if God’s stance isn’t about sides at all, but about love that sees us in all our messy, beautiful diversity? How are you trying to see others — truly see them — beyond your own side?
