We do ourselves a disservice when we make Christianity about ourselves instead of the glory of God.

Today is a mirror-mirror moment to give us a clearer picture of God and ourselves when we consider how he is the potter and we are the clay.

This episode has me eating some humble pie.

Welcome to the Sheproos Faithful Podcast, episode number 128, truth and

encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hey, everyone, welcome to the Sheproose Faithful podcast. My name is Lauren, which you really get

that in the intro. So this is double intro, double blessing for you today where you know exactly

what you're tuning into. I'm really thankful. You're listening. I'm grateful that you're here.

to harden, Jacob he loved, he saw he hated. We're actually not going to talk about that specifically,

but that passage, it's, you know, a delightful bit of controversy. But I hope that instead we just really have a moment of embracing

God's word and delighting in it because my pastor's preaching through Romans right now and it's been

a delight. And like I say in the beginning, a dose of humble pie, which is delicious and hard all at the same time.

I don't have a life hack today for you, but I do have a challenge.

If somebody wants to create dove chocolates with instead of their promises, which are kind of like fortune cookies,

but with like an inspirational five-word

quote for you, like advice for your life, you know, like, seek the wonder. Thank you, Dove.

I wonder what I'm going to have for dinner. That's the seeking of wonder I'm doing today.

Now, what would the

Christian version be? And I opened one today. And it said something like, today, live without regrets.
