Born this way

from Transplanted & Gifted · host Thomas Dodds

Often people use the phrase 'born this way' to make excuses for a shortcoming.   This isn't how I'm using it.  Over the next few podcasts I want to look at a guy who was born with a deformity, a disability and he ran headfirst into Jesus.  If that doesn't strike any parallels for me, I'm not sure what will.  The account is from the Bible and what happens presents a lot to consider - from an encouragement perspective.  Also, this set of episodes are not to be an exposition of the account - but merely to provide the basis from which I see what has happened to me.
