Who Is The God That You Know?

Three people walking a road in the mountains.

The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

“Who is the god of our envisioning? Does our God see us? Does your God see you? Does your God know you? Does your God love you?

Or does the God that you have in your imagination and the story of your life tell you that you are not enough? That the way you are made is somehow insufficient. Does your God cut off the possibility of your thriving and flourishing as who you were created to be?

Does your God call you to deny essential components of who you are? Does your God dwell with you in your sorrow and in your pain? And when God demands difficult things of you, like returning to a place of pain, will your God walk with you?

Who is the God that you know?”
