God is the Main Character - Guest Megan Marshman - Jan. 29 2017 - a podcast by VOX Community Podcast

This week, Megan Marshman delved into our culture of neediness and how that culture runs counter to God's goals for us. We all feel needy at times--some more than others--and we need to have direction in those times to find fulfillment. Many of us hope to satisfy our needs through our own initiative. But this view is contrary to God's plan. The bible is clear that God is the main character in the story of this world. We need to look beyond our own insecurities and see that we were created in the image of a perfect and holy God. God He created us to be whole and complete and lacking nothing, despite how much this world will tell us otherwise. Thus the solution to our neediness is to see that we are the supporting cast in God's story. Practically, we need to be willing to open ourselves up and communicate candidly about our needs with others so that true community develops. Everyone is needy, but thankfully Jesus came to satisfy our needs once and for all.

Story by Shanel Wilson

Shanel shared with us how Vox's "safe to belong" motto resonates with her. Coming from a background in which she often felt like an outsider--not quite fitting in--she emphasized the diversity of experience that makes God's community what it is. Even though we may have differing views on politics, spirituality, and God in general, we all worship the same perfect God. Chanel put it sweetly and succinctly by pointing out that we all hope in the same God, whether or not we "fit in" socially.
