His Name Is Mercy

Have you ever struggled to accept that you are loved regardless of what you do, what you have and how you perform? In a culture which measures value against productivity it can be easy to fall into the trap of drawing our worth and identity from what we do or don't do. In this podcast episode host, Karen Doyle, is joined by Fr Ken Barker, founding priest of the Missionaries of God's Love. Fr Ken reminds us that living the christian life means living according to a different set of standards than what the world offers us. He beautifully invites us into an awareness that our value, identity and worth come from one place. And instead of hustling for our worth we simply need to receive it as a gift from God. At any point in our journey we can return to God, the father, who loves us unconditionally and delights in who we are.
