This week on the podcast we welcome Priscilla Carr to the table. Priscilla is the producer extraordinaire for A Burst Of Hope and she is back on the air with us to share a good word of hope.

James 1:2- 3 says to count it all joy wet we meet trials of various kinds "for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."
Priscilla brings beautiful insight into those verses from her own personal story. And as she celebrates a very special anniversary, we remember with grateful hearts how the Spirit pursues each of us for the Father's glory. 

Here's a link to the song: Shepherd Of My Heart

We are so thankful for YOU and the privilege of sharing this journey of Hope with you.
Please share this episode with a friend.

We are excited to present this encore episode on this week's podcast!
On today's podcast, Martha and Kim share stories of the Fourth of July, freedom, celebration and sharing hope.
What comes to your mind when you think of Fourth of July celebrations, or any celebration?
Celebrating finds it deepest meaning in the heart of the Father and his desire to enjoy fellowship with us.
Life is hard and difficult, yet celebration is possible and is the very thing that sets us apart as children of God.
Join us on a scavenger hunt for hope and let God use you to bring hope and freedom to someone else.
Thank you for joining us at the table today!!! Bring your iced tea and watermelon and sit a spell.

Thanks for being with us for A Burst Of Hope!! Our guest this week is Stephanie Summers. Stephanie is a Mom to 3 daughters and YaYa to her grandchildren. Stephanie was in ministry with her husband, Tom, for many years until his death in 2022. She continues to serve the Church she loves so much  by being the administrative assistant for the Flint River Baptist Association and is also a certified addiction counselor.

Stephanie shares openly and honestly about her journey of "waffling and wandering" as she describes it from Psalm 121,  and about her God who "heals the wound and leaves the scars."
Her security lies in knowing that His steadfast love is always going after her.
