Summary

Episode 267 - Intentional and Wanted by God

Were you just a surprise, or were you really wanted by God?

In this episode, the friars speak into the quiet questions many carry, especially those born outside traditional circumstances.

They unpack the pain, confusion, and identity struggles that can come with that and speak truth into it all that no matter how you came into the world, whether your story includes surprise, brokenness, or uncertainty, one truth stands firm: Your life is not an accident. You are intentionally created, deeply known, and unconditionally loved by God. Let's talk about what that really means.

The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount. Thinking about helping out? You can give at https://spiritjuice.org/supportpoco. Thank you!
