In this episode Paul explores Jeremiah 18:1-4, where the prophet watches a potter reshape marred clay and learns how God lovingly shapes His people.

Through the potter’s example we see God’s authority, mercy, and invitation to turn from sin so He can form us closer to Christ.

Join a brief prayer acknowledging God as the Potter and a call to follow His shaping work in our lives.
