In this episode, Sam recalls a recent trip to Belize where he experienced absolute darkness for the first time. To be completely absent of light is not a fearful thing if we have gone through the process of facing our PIT. The only way to experience growth and expansion is to enter into our own PIT and walk through it. There is no other path. There is no way around it. Using the example of Jesus and His experience of passing through Hades, the PIT of PITS, Sam shows us that it is not the darkness we should fear, but missing out on the portal to the light, liberation, resurrection, and power that is only found by facing our PIT. __________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast. Join Sam Neider, a former pastor, on his journey of enlightenment as he shares his story of walking through darkness and despair to lay hold of the LIGHT that he could not find in 30 years of seeking, searching, and serving in the church. Sam exposes why the church is broken and how the misaimed, man-made system fails at bringing light into the world and at producing transformation in the lives of the believers. Sam will empower you, the listener, with the good news of living the KINGDOM LIFE, based on the TRUTH of what Jesus really taught and commissioned us to do - the TRUTH that has been veiled by the broken system of the church.
