(6:23) Drawing Closer: Perception and Reality

Send us Fan Mail

We explore why we act on our perception of reality rather than reality itself, and how that gap can lead to painful mistakes. We share a real-world tragedy, everyday examples, and a faith-centered practice for seeing more clearly and responding with wisdom. 
• our choices following our perceptions more than facts 
• the Kansas City doorbell shooting as a stark example of misread intent 
• common misunderstandings around texts and brief conversations 
• pausing to consider alternative explanations before reacting 
• scripture on having eyes that see not and ears that hear not 
• how people perceived Jesus differently and what disciples learn over time 

Thanks for listening, and until next time, let's draw a little closer to God and to one another.

Want know more about the music on this podcast? We are blessed to have M. Diego Gonzalez as a regular contributor of songs he has arranged, performed, and recorded especially for this podcast. My wife and I became acquainted with Diego when he was serving a as missionary in the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission.
