Stories aren’t just for entertainment—God uses them to deliver truth in ways that stick. But we have to slow down and receive what He’s saying. I’m joined by Erika VanHaitsma and Veronica Copenhaver, hosts of the Context and Color of the Bible podcast, to explore how Scripture’s stories shape the way we see God and ourselves. Whether you’re a longtime student of the Bible or just beginning, this conversation will help you fall in love with God’s story all over again.

What happens when the place meant to nurture our faith becomes a source of pain?

In this episode of the Live Like It's True Podcast, Megan Hill and I talk candidly about church hurt—where it comes from, the wounds judgment can leave behind, and the vital role of grace within the body of Christ. Together, we point to Jesus, who endured suffering without bitterness, and remember that healing is meant to happen in community.

With practical wisdom and gospel hope, this conversation calls us to humility, extend mercy, and move toward restored relationships.
