Happy New Year to you, our Burst of Hope Family! Martha, Kim, and Priscilla want to express their appreciation for your faithful following and pray for God's abundant blessings this new year.
They have many surprises in store for you this year and plenty of stories of hope to be shared! 
This week's title, "Prisoners of Hope," may sound confusing. It's taken right from scripture, though, and Martha and Kim delve into a conversation around this phrase and other Bible verses that speak to our Hope in Christ alone.


Here's the article that was mentioned:
Mark Batterson - Prisoners of Hope

Thanks for joining us at the table for another Advent episode of A Burst of Hope! For the next 2 weeks, you'll be hearing several stories of Hope as Martha and Kim are joined by some very special friends who will be sharing. Christmas finds us all in different places, it hits every emotion we can imagine. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own Christmas story that we forget about others around us.
You'll get a fresh perspective on Christmas and things you may not have thought of before.
Welcome to the table as we unwrap Hope together.

Be sure to share this gift with a friend, or two!

This week on A Burst Of Hope, Martha shares a special Advent episode!
How are we making space to hear the voice of our God, our Emmanuel, who came for us and continues to come for us, every day? His provision of Himself as the perfect spotless lamb has accomplished everything. This is what we celebrate this advent season.
No hurry, no worry, only the holy hush of hope. Our God comes.
His grace is there for all the gaps.
Will we believe?
And then will we pass that treasure along?

Here's the book by Ann Voskamp:
The Greatest Gift: Unwrapping the Full Love Story of Christmas

Martha and Kim welcome Stacey VanKlaveren to the podcast this week! Stacey is a new transplant to Georgia; she and her husband Rick have followed God on their latest adventure post retirement and have discovered treasures along the way.
Stacey shares her personal story of meeting Jesus, falling in love with the Word, and having a flat- lined hope, when she struggled with anxiety and depression.
"To everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under heaven," as the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us. Stacey so graciously gives us a glimpse into a time of pruning and getting to know Christ more intimately. Tucked in her folders of hope, she is quick to share the wealth of the riches that are hers in Christ Jesus.

Here's the book Stacey mentioned:   The Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson

This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim talk about the Table of Gratitude and how we can all find our place there and invite others to it.  We can never overestimate the power of living with intentional thankfulness.
And we find hope as we look to the tables we will gather around this holiday season.
We pray this will be a sacred time of enjoying the feast at the table the Lord has invited you to, the one He graciously provides for all of us.
