Religion EN ↓ 4 episodes

The Painter is a four-part narrated audio series about the God you've been constructing — and the God who's been constructing you.

This episode looks at where those colors came from, holds them up against God's own self-description, and asks: what if the real God is better than the painting you've been carrying?

There are five things you were never supposed to carry — purpose, control, value, identity, legacy. You picked them up anyway. Everyone does.
