Salvation – The Blue Dot Continuum

June 15, 2023

In this episode of “Anchored & Reaching,” hosts Kevin Mannoia and Susanna Fleming delve into the concept of salvation and its transformative power. They emphasize that salvation is not limited to a one-time event but is a continual journey of drawing closer to God. The hosts discuss the significance of recognizing the image of God in every person, regardless of their faith background, and encourage listeners to seek out the “blue dots” within others. By living authentically and letting the blue (godly qualities) within them shine, believers can reflect God’s character and invite others into a deeper relationship with Him.
