We all have limitations, don’t we? Whether we recognize them or not, they exist and can lead to frustration as we try to meet our goals, chase our dreams, or simply get through the day. It would be so much better if those limits weren’t there at all, right?

But what if those areas of your life you resent the most—the places where you feel the most overextended—are actually the doorways to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?

Well today, you’ll hear from writer, speaker, and mother of seven Sara Hagerty who knows the constraints of limitations. Yet she has also seen how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we'd never experience otherwise.

Sara will help you identify your limitations, know when to embrace them and when to challenge them, and all the while, experience God’s strength in your weakness.

We often approach the Bible like an instruction manual for living our lives, reading it primarily with ourselves in mind and viewing it through the lens of our current culture. But what if we read Scripture differently—through the Middle Eastern lens in which the Bible was originally written and understood?

Well, today’s guest, professor and biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland, highlights the importance of the historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts of Scripture. She’ll explain how the Bible is a timeless, transformational story with one cohesive storyline, helping you make sense of what you're reading.

Plus, she’ll encourage you to approach God’s Word not just to learn something, but to encounter someone. The result is an encounter with the living God in a way you may not have experienced before.

The Bible is about to be transformed from black and white to vivid color, so let’s go!
