In this episode of The Unpolished Church, Jon Sherwood (https://www.jonsherwood.com) unpacks what Paul’s words about “seeing dimly” in 1 Corinthians 13 have to say to us today.

While often quoted at weddings, this passage speaks directly to how we handle spiritual gifts, theological certainty, and relational tension within the church.

Drawing from his pastoral experience, Jon challenges us to reflect on the ways we might be assuming clarity we don’t actually have—and how that impacts our communities, conversations, and convictions.

From theology and politics to everyday discipleship, this episode invites us into a more humble, Christlike posture in how we see and relate to one another.
