“The way you treat the Word of God, is the way you treat the God of the Word. So the burden I have always had is to be in the scriptures. I know in my life that I hear from God and I try to be obedient, but if I don’t hear form God, I’m off on my own tangents.” – Rick Perren

On this week’s episode of the Grace Unscripted Podcast, we get to hear the story of Rick Perren. Rick grew up around church, but never saw or knew who Jesus was, that was until he was a young married man and he and his wife Peg met Jesus in pages of scripture. Rick’s story is one of a heart that is so unreservedly in pursuit of God’s own! Listen in as he shares his wisdom, his journey through scripture, and his love for Jesus and those around him!

“What I learned is that, if I wanted to know God, not about him but really know him, I had to move. I had to make a choice and I had to seek him. I had to run after him with abandon. I needed to seek him out and spend time with him, not just praying about me, but knowing about what his plan was for my life so I could follow his will.” – Cynthia Terry

On this week’s episode of the Grace Unscripted Podcast, we get to hear the story of Cynthia Terry. From a young age Cynthia’s life was steeped in the church, but it was built around doing things for God. Through family connections and women’s retreats, God was chasing her heart down in a new way, whether she realized it or not. Listen in as Cynthia shares how God kept pursuing her heart and showing her what a life lived in pursuit of him looks like instead of a life lived doing things for him.

“It makes sense why nothing else in my life has ever satisfied me.

“I also could feel Jesus’ love and hope through the whole thing and I think it was the first time I realized that He has always been with me. When I felt alone in church, He was there.
