The Season Finale: From Disgust to Delight

"You are delightful."In the Season 1 finale of You Still Belong, Nathan McWherter tackles the ultimate remedy for the "rot" of disgust: curiosity and the image of God. We explore how the church has often traded its mission for tribalism, and why the path back to Jesus requires us to stop being victims and start being "detectives of beauty."Nathan shares the story of a life changing retreat where he had to face his own self-disgust (the stake in his chest) and learn to hear God’s true name for him. If you have ever felt like a "contaminant" or an "enemy" in religious spaces, this episode is your invitation to walk in the garden with God again.In This Episode:(0:00) The Final Episode: Dealing with the sickness in the body(2:55) Victim vs. Victor: Choosing to step back with intention(7:27) The Skunk & The Blackjack Gum: Why disgust feels so real(10:43) The Detective: Looking for the image of God in others(12:03) The Stake: Nathan’s battle with self-hatred(15:47) Delightful: Believing what God says about you(18:45) Looking Ahead: Season 2 and the "You Still Belong" bookLive Q&A & Resources:We want to hear from you!
