Experiencing God's Love (ft. Brandon Shields)

This podcast episode features a teaching by Brandon Shields, the Director of Church Formation at Practicing the Way, during his last Sunday as lead pastor at Soma Midtown. Brandon reflects on his 13 years as a church planter, focusing on the importance of healthy endings and transitions. He shares a prayer from Ephesians, emphasizing the need to experience and become God's love, rather than just knowing about it intellectually. He recounts his personal journey of encountering God's love through pain and ancient spiritual practices, and encourages listeners to seek a deeper, experiential relationship with God and to embody love within their community. The episode concludes with guided reflection questions for listeners to contemplate their own relationship with God and how they can express His love to others.
