In session 3 of I Want the Truth: Finding the Church that Jesus Built, Father Deacon Ezra explores the concept of God beyond the material world. We discuss how our cultural assumptions and limited perspectives often hinder our understanding of the divine. Through metaphors and historical references, we challenge the box of Western Christianity and invite you to see God as an undivided Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We'll go over the true meaning of belief, the importance of worship, and how we can experience God authentically in our lives. Join us as we step outside the box and into a deeper, more experiential faith. Let’s challenge our assumptions and unite in the experiential truth of the Trinity.
