Chat question: did God knit each of us for a specific purpose?
- Did God knit each of us together in the womb for a specific purpose?
A chat question asks whether God knit everyone together in the womb for a specific purpose (Psalm 139). The hosts split: God certainly knew each person, and wired people with different talents, but they debate whether that's a specific individual assignment (like David as king) versus a general call to use strengths for his kingdom. The segment ends with the KTIA 99.3 radio sign-off, directing broadcast listeners to the podcast for the rest of the show.
