Episode 276: 276. How Christ Meets Us in Our Homesickness

In this episode of MARSCAST, Dr. Andrew Compton joins Jared Luttjeboer to explore the deep ache of homesickness. We tend to think of homesickness as a fleeting emotion, but our hosts go deeper. For Christians, could it be something more, perhaps a deep spiritual longing?

Building on earlier conversations about the biblical story of home, they consider what it means to live faithfully in the tension of the “already and not yet.” Together, they reflect on how homesickness can shape us, challenge us, and ultimately draw us closer to Christ, who Himself knew what it meant to be without a home. With pastoral wisdom and practical insights, this conversation encourages us to see our longings not as weakness, but as reminders of the true home God has prepared for us.
