Romans eight is considered to be one of the greatest chapters ever written. You will see that it's filled with 39 powerful, profound verses. And over the next several weeks, I wanna take you on a journey. And on this journey, you're gonna hear some very real and raw stories. But here's my desire. I want you to take your brokenness and I want you to bring it to God.

And I want the word of God to heal the places of your lives that are still wounded. I want God to restore the broken pieces. I want to take us through God's word from a place of brokenness to a place of belonging. And it's interesting what Paul does right out of the gate. As he gives extraordinary hope to the ordinary sinner, I want you to take a listen to Romans chapter eight verse one. Join us!

The mind is a powerful thing. You know, what we believe will control how we behave. I've seen this true in my life personally. You know, I grew up just always having a lot of negative thoughts. I really be became a victim. To the way I was raised. I looked at everything through the lens of nothing's ever gonna go right for me, or God doesn't see me and God doesn't love me.

My mind was a battle. And Christian, you're going to have to fight. Here's how...

Phobia is the fear of love or being loved. You know, this word sums up my entire life. I've always been terrified of this word. This word for me has always been attached to separation or extreme pain, and I feared letting somebody love me. In fact, I didn't know how to love. So for my entire life, I'd keep enough distance. Have you ever felt so broken that you didn't deserve to be loved? Noe Garcia shares his own desperate need to be loved and fear that it will never happen. And how he learned to move past that.

Paul said "For I consider that the present sufferings of this time do not compare to the future glory that would be revealed to us." This word suffering is a word that all of us can relate to. It's a word that is attacked us unexpectedly. You know, the thing about suffering is that it never asks when it can come into your life. Has suffering come into your life? Find out what we know about suffering and how you can change your response to suffering.

Have you ever thought your life is beyond repair or wondered if God could use your brokenness for good?
We all tend to look and search for purpose in our pain and suffering. In this Bible study, Noe Garcia takes participants on a journey through Romans 8, which many scholars believe is the greatest chapter in the Bible. Noe shares his life story and experiences of abuse, depression, and overwhelming hopelessness. He reveals how God redeemed, repaired, and restored him.
