[Well, it almost rhymes! :-) ]
Fun episode here, folks. We'll bet good money that this may be the first podcast episode EVER mentioning both Mary Magdalene and a herd of angry mama elephants. (But if you find another one, by all means let us know and we'll give you a prize. Seriously.)
A poignant scene from an episode of the groundbreaking TV series "The Chosen" (Season 3, so spoiler alert if you have not gotten that far yet) prompts a heartfelt & encouraging discussion about the relentlessness of evil, the paralyzing power of shame, and the ongoing struggle to hold on to one's new identity in Christ. What even does it mean to have a "new identity," and how does the grace of God fashion such a thing in anyone?
Wendy and Chris each share about their own internal battles to remain rooted in Jesus, and what kinds of things bring them back around when the old self threatens to rise up and wreck the room.
