This podcast features Chapter Three of Jason Clark's recent book, Leaving and Finding Jesus.

Further, He revealed there is no darkness light won’t penetrate, no brokenness that won’t be made whole, no road He won’t join us on, no soil the Seed won’t transform, no consequence of sin that His justice won’t restore—past, present, or future..."
