Our Lenten journey continues with Lead Pastor Scott Hodge reminding us how we can return to God's loving embrace and turn from the fears and distractions that keep us from hearing God's call. ••• QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION AND CONVERSATION: Where in your life do you sense God longing to gather you — to hold you, love you, remind you that you belong?

What are the “foxes” in your life right now — the fears, distractions, or voices that keep you from trusting God’s love? What do those voices sound like, and where do they show up? And how might you gently turn toward God’s voice of love instead? What helps you hear that voice? ••• To learn more about The Orchard Community visit theorchardcommunity.com Subscribe to Orchard Conversations in your favorite podcast app or at orchardconversations.com

This week we continue our Epiphany journey with an introspective examination of the human heart — can we trust it? Can we trust our instincts? How do we make choices that are truly “spirit-led”? ••• QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION AND CONVERSATION:  What’s been nourishing you?  What’s been draining you? What do you need to let go of?

We continue our Epiphany series with Lead Pastor Scott Hodge taking a look at the themes of faith and abundance found in today's reading from the gospel of Luke, in which Jesus tells Simon Peter to drop his fishing nets again where he has already failed to catch anything. Scott asks the poinant question: Do we have eyes to see the surprising ways in which God moves in the midst of situations whose outcome we think we already know? ••• To learn more about The Orchard Community visit theorchardcommunity.com Subscribe to Orchard Conversations in your favorite podcast app or at orchardconversations.com
