The Pruned Podcast with Ryan Shieh: God Will Meet You in Your Mess (feat. Chad Bird

One of the most common reasons people drift from God is because of some sort of personal suffering or hardship in their life. However, oftentimes we see that personal pride or self-ambition can also drive people away from their faith. In this episode, Ryan is joined by Chad Bird, who details the story of his life and explains how even in his own mess, God met him exactly where he was.

Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517. He has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew. He holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. He has contributed articles to Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Modern Reformation, The Federalist, Lutheran Forum, and other journals and websites. He is also the author of several books, including The Christ Key & Limping with God.

It’s easy to look at life as a series of random happenings and circumstances, but what if God is using each and every moment to shape who we become? What if God is more interested in developing us before he delivers us? Listen in each week as author and speaker Ryan Shieh dives deep into how God is constantly forming and transforming us into all he has created us to be. Because in the end, you will never grow… unless you are being pruned.
