Does God Like Some People More? (GH) | Ep 147

Most Christians would say that God does not have favorites. But do our hearts actually experience Him that way?In this Greenhouse follow-up to Episode 146, Brian is joined by Handsome Kyle and Dr. Tim to explore why God can still feel partial even when our theology says otherwise.The conversation begins with transference—the unconscious tendency to carry patterns from past relationships into new ones. Experiences with parents, pastors, teachers, employers, and institutions can shape not only how we see God, but how we imagine God sees us.From there, the discussion moves into performance, usefulness, the “looking-glass self,” the masks we wear, suffering, and our tendency to assume that successful or influential Christians somehow enjoy greater access to God.Why do we sometimes prefer a transactional relationship with God? Why can His delight feel difficult to receive? And what happens when we stop trying to earn love and allow ourselves to be fully seen?Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.substack.com/
