Peace can seem elusive these days. In the headlines, in our relationships, in our grief, or in our Christmas plans, it feels like peace is slipping through our fingers. The profound reality of Advent is that we don't have to, nor can we, manufacture true peace. It comes to us in the person of the Prince of Peace. Our hope does not rest on the world getting its act together or in our circumstances being just right. Our hope rests in the Prince of Peace himself, who came to dwell among us, whose Presence changes everything.

Here's a link to the book: Jesus Calling For Christmas

Please share this podcast with a friend. We all need to know this Prince of Peace.

Welcome to A Burst Of Hope as Martha and Kim begin this Advent season with you.

Advent invites us to a time of preparation and waiting, one that the people of Israel knew about for generations. The remarkable truth is that God chose to enter into time itself, submitting to daily calendars and human waiting.

Our waiting isn't empty, we expectantly look for Hope to come in the fullness of time, every day.

Thanks for joining us! We'd love to hear from you.

What does it mean to set our hearts on thanksgiving when our souls are in anguish? Today we're exploring a truth that might seem contradictory - that our most desperate cries to God can become doorways to profound gratitude. Because when we call out and discover that He bends down to hear us, everything changes. Join Kim as she unpacks Psalm 116 and how thanksgiving and struggle aren't opposites—they're often closely and intimately connected.

We are so thankful for you, friend!

This week Martha and Kim continue their conversation around setting our hearts on hope. Discouragement comes for all of us; how do we find hope when our hearts are spiraling?

God's word is full of true stories about real people going through real life challenges like depression and hopelessness. Their journeys are chronicled in Holy Scriptures revealing a God who is genuinely interested in them and is powerful to work on their behalf. We all "bump into hope" as we read and meditate on the Word that brings us life.

Pull up a chair to the podcast table today and grab hold of Hope with us!

Welcome to A Burst Of Hope! Martha and Kim are excited to welcome you to the podcast table where they will be talking about new rooms and new seasons of life.

When we walk into new rooms, how do we find our place? How do we embrace a new season when everything feels uncomfortable and foreign? How do we let go of the past, even good things, so we can live fully in the present?

These are questions we're all faced with at various times in life and as you listen in today, you'll hear how Hope leads us all along the way. And adventures await!

"God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade." 2 Cor. 2:14 (MSG)

This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim have a conversation about what we set our minds and hearts on. Just like setting the temperature knob on a toaster oven, we can choose where to set our hearts. What does it look like to set our hearts on worship? We intentionally choose to worship God above, lifting our eyes above the things of this earth. Surprise ending!
