When the apostle Peter encounters the transfigured Christ whose “clothes became white as light,” the apostle (somewhat understandably) does the one thing he should not do…he speaks (Matt 17:4). Before he can fully explain why he wants to create three tent or hut like structures, the heavenly Father graciously interrupts the apostle’s meandering daydream. Matthew reports: “He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him (Matt 17:5).” In this brief rebuke, the Father reveals that the proper and best human response to divine glory consists not of human ingenuity but of human listening. Pastor and author Peter Witkowski stopped by to remind us that in order to make the most of our experiences of spiritual euphoria, we must not first speak but listen.

Olivia Davis: “I hated my story. I didn’t see in it the marvelous weaving of God’s mysterious ways, the undercurrents of His love in the most impossible circumstances, or a hope that never fails. I looked at my life and saw indifference, and hurt, and a God who seemed silent when I was the most desperate for His voice. Suffering through the pain of being single felt unfair and unreasonable and unnecessary. How could Jesus be the One I wanted when this was my story?” Does this hit close to home for you? Olivia joined the conversation and shared how the love of Jesus holds her fast in her painful journey as a single.

What would you do if had the opportunity to buy a house that you really liked.....only to find out that a crime had previously occurred there? Could you still enjoy the home's attractive features? Or would you always wonder what traumatic event took place in the home? A man's marriage took an unexpected turn when his wife moved out of the couple's home upon learning that a crime had been committed in their home before the couple lived in it. Here's the catch: the woman's husband bought and lived in the home before the couple was married. He knew about the crime, but chose not to tell his wife about it. Listeners weighed in on whether or not the husband did the right thing. They also shared their own experiences with homes where crimes had been committed previously!
