Hey there! You’re listening to the Faith First Podcast, and I'm Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, CT. Let me ask you, do you ever think about God’s glory? We’re to give all glory to Him through all of our days, but exactly what is it? That’s what our Lead Pastor Steve Darr and I will discuss today. Welcome Steve.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How would you define, or maybe better yet, how does the Bible define God’s glory?
• The Psalms are a good place to find the exhulation of God, they also provide a view of how we are to approach the Lord. How does the Psalmist describe our entry into the presence of God?
• Why is communion a time for reflection on the glory of God?
• What are some of the takeaways from Matt's testimony for you?

We are to live a transformed life. The revelation of God’s glory, whether on a mountain top or at the cross, is not meant to be confined to sacred texts or rituals. It is meant to be lived out in every aspect of our daily lives.

Welcome to the Faith First Podcast. I’m Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut. In Christian circles, you may come across the concept of the Glory of God. We use it in our speech and in our worship, but what does it really mean? Well, today’s the day it gets uncovered through a message by our Lead Pastor, Steve Darr. Let’s listen in…

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What is the glory of God
• How do we see the glory of God as a transformed life
• Why is the glory of God a glimpse of the divine
• How do we see the glory of God in the transfiguration story

God’s glory is not a relic of the past but a living, vibrant reality that speaks to us today. Whether on the mountain top or embodied in the sacrifice of the cross, the glory of God calls us to worship, to remember, and to live the light of His eternal love.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast where we bring you messages and conversations of just how to walk your faith out in this world. I’m Jonathan Gouthier Associate Pastor here at First Church in Torrington CT and in this episode, I sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr to talk about how God takes us form trauma to triumph. Welcome Steve!

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• So much of Scripture links to our spiritual lives, how does the account of the lame man represent things going on in the world today?
• What is it about trauma that may have us looking for other avenues to be relieved from it?
• does knowing that Christ overcame_even death help us to return to Him for healing and triumph?
• In all of the examples you provided in the message, the key person involved in turning it all around was Christ. Why is He so essential to our own turn around stories?

The greatest transformation of trauma to triumph is found in the cross of Christ. It is through the cross that we find victory and it is through His resurrection we find the ultimate triumph. If Christ could turn the ultimate trauma into triumph he can do the same for your life.

We try to provide some very practical ways to step out in your faith and we pray it is beneficial to you who are listening.
