Pastors Jeremy, Luke, and Brian discuss the topic of failure and how God uses it in our lives. They share personal stories of failure, including instances of lying and damaging relationships. They emphasize that what we perceive as failure may actually be part of God's larger plan, citing examples from the Bible such as Joseph and John Mark.
Key points include:
1. The importance of defining failure from God's perspective rather than a worldly viewpoint.
2. How God can use our failures to shape our character and teach us valuable lessons.
3. The significance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people who can help us grow through failures.
4. The need to trust God with both our own hearts and the hearts of those we may have hurt through our failures.
The pastors draw parallels between God and a coach, noting that while God doesn't set us up to fail, He can use our failures to produce righteousness and peace in our lives. They conclude by encouraging listeners to lean into God as a strong foundation during times of failure, emphasizing that we are always in process and that God continues to work in our lives through both good and bad circumstances.
