Michele Cushatt on Embracing Limitations to Find Grace
When we lean into the reality that we are fragile + finite, we become more responsive to the relentless love of God right here.
Imagine facing life's toughest moments and discovering unexpected grace. In this episode of 'This Too Shall Last', host K.J. Ramsey sits down with Michele Cushatt, an author and speaker known for her book 'Relentless: The Unshakeable Presence of a God Who Never Leaves'. They dive into how suffering and trauma can become pathways to deeper connections with God and each other.
Michele shares her personal journey, revealing how embracing our limitations and weaknesses can actually slow us down to a more graceful pace of life. This episode, recorded before the pandemic, still resonates as a timely reminder that our fragility can make us more open to relentless love. K.J. and Michele challenge the traditional Christian narrative that effort equals blessing, instead offering a perspective where kindness and love are experienced without needing to earn them.
They discuss the importance of having a stable support system and how vulnerability and interdependence can be modeled in our lives. If you're looking for a grounded, holistic approach to living through the gospel, this conversation is for you.
