In this Diving Deeper episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with Pastor John Bombaro for a rich and deep conversation about the physical and spiritual intimacy we’re invited into through Christ.
They talk about how Jesus doesn’t just love us from a distance, He actually enters into our lives in real, tangible ways. From Holy Communion to baptism to the power of God’s Word, Pastor John unpacks what it means to be united with Christ, not just symbolically, but truly. They walk through John 6, the beauty of the incarnation, and why your body and what you do with it matter deeply to God.
If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts, felt disconnected from your faith, or wondered if Jesus could really meet you where you are, this episode is for you. It’s a fresh reminder that God’s grace isn’t just an idea. It’s real. It’s embodied. And it’s for you.
