Today, many people create God in their own image instead of being transformed into His image, which represents a new creation. This shift leads individuals to remain unchanged while trying to mold God to fit their views.

In the HHP Podcast, hosted by Chris Franke, the Senior Pastor of HFF Church in Oklahoma City, discussions center on the Bible, church, and family. Chris acknowledges that all humans make mistakes, impacting those around them. When people are hurt, they may isolate, retaliate, or begin healing. Although healing is desirable, societal pressures often keep people feeling broken.

Chris reflects on Kintsugi, a Japanese art form that repairs broken pottery with gold, symbolizing beauty in brokenness with God's help. Unlike the cultural focus on self, Chris suggests centering our lives on God. Key principles include prioritizing God, loving Him and others, avoiding lust, and surrounding oneself with godly people. The culture promotes one's love of self, leading to issues like loneliness and anxiety. True identity is meant to be found in Jesus, not in material achievements.

Lastly, those blessed by the podcast are encouraged to support it and visit the website for more resources or to join the church in Oklahoma City.
