Who is God beyond what we've heard about Him? And how does knowing His character change the way we trust Him, especially when life doesn't make sense? In this episode of The Becoming Sessions, Joanne and James Marime explore the nature of God through Scripture, personal testimonies, and honest reflections on faith: His love, holiness, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, justice, and faithfulness, and what they mean for our everyday lives. But knowing these truths is only the beginning. How do we trust God's character through uncertainty, suffering, difficult seasons, and unanswered prayers? Through stories of His protection and conversations about prayer, spiritual warfare, suffering, eternal life, and divine timing, we explore what it means to place our confidence in who God is, even when we can't fully understand His ways.
