In this episode of The Listening Porch, Ray Hughes reflects on the difference between fitting in and belonging, and why so many gifted, creative, Spirit-filled people feel misaligned in the places they’re trying to serve. Drawing from the life of David, Ray explores how the Holy Spirit expresses Himself through poetry, music, story, and creativity, not just within sacred spaces, but through everyday assignments. We talk about fire as light, fire as warmth, fire as focus, and fire as something meant to be carried into dark places. From campfires and candles to misfits and renaissance moments, this conversation invites us to stop trying to fit and instead find the place where we truly belong, where what God put in us is welcomed, protected, and allowed to shine.
