Joey spoke to us about what it feels like to be on the sidelines in our spiritual journey — watching the “game” but not feeling part of it. She reminded us that many people in Scripture began their stories on the margins, yet God drew them in and transformed their lives in remarkable ways.

She highlighted examples such as Elijah, Zacchaeus, Peter, other disciples, and Jonah — people who started in places of doubt, distance, or obscurity, but were brought into God’s purposes with power and grace.

Joey encouraged us to see that God does the same today: No matter where we feel we’re standing, God invites us into the centre of His story.
