Secondhand God - How Family Framed Your Faith | Concept of God

We're diving into the transformative concept of God in this new series, exploring how our perception of Him shapes our entire experience of life. I mean, how we see God isn't just an abstract idea; it profoundly impacts how we view ourselves and the people around us. We're all carrying around some form of concept of God, often shaped by our upbringing, which can lead to some serious misunderstandings about His nature. As we kick off this series, we're not just scratching the surface; we're laying down a framework that will guide us into deeper conversations and revelations about who God really is. So, buckle up, because this journey is going to be liberating as we shatter those old, unhelpful images and embrace the fullness of His love and goodness!
