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.

Hello and welcome! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut, and host of the Faith First Podcast. We've all experienced moments of desperation, hurt, and brokenness, searching for something—or someone—to make us whole again. Then Jesus steps in, bringing healing, hope, and the victory our hearts long for. In Him, we find the love and restoration we've been searching for all along. He takes our trauma and makes it our triumph, let's listen in to the message by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr right now…

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Scripture outlines the transformation from trauma to triumph
• Why the examples in Scripture ought to bring us hope
• When life is at its worst, God is at His best
• What is the ultimate trauma, and what is the ultimate triumph

The greatest transformation of trauma to triumph is found in the cross of Christ. He carried the weight of sin, and on the cross, God the Father forsook Him. Yet it is through the cross we find victory, and through His resurrection there is found triumph. If you’ve been listening to the Faith First Podcast for a while, we thank you.
