86: Choosing Presence Instead of Platitudes with Our Phones Down.

Over this summer, we've been exploring a few phrases in our Christian culture and language that many of us say -- but we don't often consider what we mean when we say it. Today, Jason and Andrew taken on the phrase "God Doesn't Give You More Than You Can Handle." They share why those words can create more isolation than connection AND encourage us that there is a better way to care for one another with our words and actions.
