Blessed & Broken (7): When Hard Places Become Holy Ground

In this message, Richie Reeder walks through Jacob's encounter with God in Genesis 28, where a fugitive with a stone for a pillow discovers that heaven is far closer than he imagined. Richie shows how God meets us not after we get our lives together, but right in the wilderness of our fear, regret, and exhaustion—turning hard places into holy ground. He then challenges us to recognize the "Bethels" in our own lives, seeing our workplaces, relationships, and struggles as places where God is already present and at work.
