• Summary

  • " You are the Potter, I am the Clay! " Like me, you may have heard this phrase multiple times and even said it yourself. Whether you are in the church or not, this has become a popular phrase; that eventually in some cases became a cliché. However, has it crossed your mind what it really means to say " I am the Clay"?When you hear this phrase, you may imagine the positions of a “Potter” and “Clay” in this relationship. Understanding that the “Potter” makes and molds the clay to the desired finished product. You understand that the “Potter” knows the process needed to obtain the product's intended purpose. You may even imagine a “Potter” molding clay on the Potter’s wheel into a bowl. It is only possible for the clay to become a bowl if it cooperates with the Potter. The clay has to understand that its duty is only to be molded. The “Potter's” purpose will never come to fruition if the “clay” is non-cooperative.



    Here on the “Be Clay” podcast, we will talk about how to accept and endure the duty of clay, as we allow the Potter to perform the same. We will explore the positions of “The Potter” and “The Clay” and the dynamics of each role. In the past years, I have learned and am still learning the roles of “The Potter” and “The Clay”. I have come to the realization that I was not fulfilling the role of “The Clay”. Instead of allowing “ The Potter” to mold me, I was fighting back and trying to mold myself. You can imagine what a mess I made! If you can relate, know you are not alone. “You are the Potter, and I am the Clay” will not be just something you say, but you will learn and understand your role and “ Be Clay”

    Forgiveness is more than just letting go—it's a transformative journey that reshapes our spiritual and everyday lives. In our latest episode of Be Clay, we explore the profound impact of forgiveness through personal stories that mirror the teachings of scripture. We delve into the necessity of forgiveness as a fundamental practice for those in faith, likening it to the commitments we uphold, such as children fulfilling chores for privileges. By embracing the challenging aspects of our beliefs, we find a deeper connection with God.

    Navigating the cost of following Jesus requires self-denial, much like carrying one's own cross. Through heartfelt reflections, we discuss the painful yet rewarding path of aligning our lives with spiritual teachings, even when it costs relationships or brings disillusionment with church practices. We reflect on how personal experiences with church hurt can lead to a deeper understanding of the responsibilities of church leaders. By examining scriptural references such as Ezekiel 34, we stress the importance of accountability and the need to trust in God's guidance.

    Throughout the episode, we are reminded of the enduring power of unconditional love and forgiveness, which calls us to embody grace in every aspect of our lives. We highlight the transformative impact of releasing negativity and extending kindness beyond measure, drawing parallels to a spiritual "boot camp" that prepares us to be ambassadors for Christ. By fostering a personal relationship with God and understanding love's true meaning, we recognize our eternal worth and the limitless love that surrounds us. Join us as we challenge ourselves and you, our listeners, to embark on this spiritual journey with open hearts and minds.

    Have you ever questioned whether attending church is necessary to truly connect with God? Join me on a personal journey as I confront this common struggle, opening up about my own experiences with church hurt and the pivotal figure who taught me the essence of faith beyond ritual. We'll unravel the intricate relationship between religion and spirituality, validating the feelings of those who have been wounded by traditional practices, and emphasizing the importance of personal connection with the divine.

    Our exploration deepens as we reflect on the life of King David, whose story is both flawed and inspiring. Despite his imperfections, David's unwavering devotion to God demonstrates the power of humility, repentance, and steadfast faith. His ability to maintain a profound connection with God even amidst adversity offers poignant lessons for navigating our own spiritual landscapes today. Through his journey, we uncover the enduring relevance of personal faith and the strength it provides.

    In our final discussion, we address the transformative power of forgiveness and healing from past wounds. Inspired by David's remarkable ability to forgive Saul, we draw parallels to our struggles with resentment and emphasize the liberating experience of releasing anger. By trusting in God's grace and mercy, we can move towards inner peace, healing from past relationships, and fostering healthier connections. This episode is an invitation to let go of bitterness and embrace a future enriched by faith and love.

My story is a moving testament to the struggle of one-sided relationships and the profound desire to comprehend and reciprocate God's immense love. These reflections provide a roadmap for anyone seeking to build and nurture a relationship with the divine, highlighting the stages of forming meaningful connections both with God and others.
