Rediscovering God Beyond Easy Answers, #594","description":"What if your relationship with God&amp;nbsp; didn\u2019t start with how broken you are\u2014but with how beloved you are? This week, Juli is joined by Marty Solomon, host of the BEMA Podcast, to explore the difference between our Western desire to have all the answers and the Bible's invitation to mystery, curiosity, and wonder. They talk about how systematic theology can both help and hinder our faith, and why being \u201cbeloved\u201d is more foundational than being \u201cright.\u201d This conversation reframes how we see our humanity in light of God\u2019s steadfast love\u2014not as a&amp;nbsp; problem to fix, but as a relationship to steward.
