Ever tried to keep Jesus at arm’s length… only to feel Him gently (or not-so-gently) pull you closer?
In this tender and powerful Episode 73 of Hear Where You Belong, ordained deacon and author Constance Hastings shares the story she never planned to live:
→ A happy English teacher who resisted church membership for 20 years
→ Giving up music for Lent… and hearing God say “It’s time”
→ Trading the classroom for faith-based counseling and a decade-long wrestle to write The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away
→ Choosing a skeptical editor on purpose (and discovering her own doubts staring back at her on the page)
Constance reminds us that following Jesus is not an easy-believer shortcut. It’s raw. It’s disruptive. It’s surrender. And yet, somehow, it’s exactly where we finally belong.
You’ll walk away understanding:
✨ Why “Thy will be done” is the hardest—and most freeing—prayer we can pray
✨ How God used a 10-year book-writing journey to heal the author’s own questions
✨ The stunning connection between water turned to wine and the blood poured out for us
✨ Why the real trouble with Jesus is that His stubborn, pursuing grace simply will not let us go
If you’ve ever doubted, drifted, or tried to outrun God’s love—this episode is your invitation home.
Hit play and remember: You don’t find belonging by walking away… you find it when you finally let Him catch you. ❤️
