Ever feel like God loves you because He has to, but you’re not sure He actually likes you?

In this episode, Austin Gardner breaks down Ephesians 3 in plain language—or what he calls "Tennessee hillbilly." We dive into why it’s so hard to believe we’re truly loved, especially when life gets messy or we feel like we haven't performed well enough.

Austin explores the two big words Paul uses: Rooted and Grounded.

• Rooted: Like a tree that doesn't "work" to get nutrients, we are called to simply live from the love already given to us.
• Grounded: Building your life on the solid foundation of Grace rather than the shifting sands of other people's opinions.

Stop fighting to get love and start living from it. It's time to realize that your identity comes from your Father, not your past.
