“Encountering God in Our Brokenness” - Geoff Banks | Everyday Encounters, Part 2

Many of us have preconceived notions about what it means to encounter God. We often expect a profound, unmistakable experience—a sudden rush of emotion or a dramatic revelation. In our search for these powerful moments, we might inadvertently turn our relationship with God into a formula, chasing after memories of past experiences or trying to recreate them. However, it's important to remember that God often works in unexpected ways. Our struggles and imperfections, rather than being obstacles, can actually become the fertile ground where God's work takes root. The divine doesn't shy away from our brokenness; instead, it's through these very cracks that God's light can shine through, shaping us for a greater purpose. Ultimately, encountering God isn't just about what we feel or gain personally, but about how we're transformed to serve others and fulfill a higher calling.
