This is a message that has been so heavy on Mary’s heart for months that she decided to be rebellious and do this episode without Louis knowing! Today’s world is filled with so much fear and confusion. This past Sunday, we both heard a sermon about hope and it really touched Mary’s heart. Take a listen to where true hope comes from!

We are so excited to humanize the disciple Thomas! Our Church just barely did this as a sermon and we took so many notes that we just had to share it on the podcast! Doubts have a really bad connotation in religious circles but are they really that bad? Take a listen to a study on the disciple Thomas, how Jesus reacted to his doubt and how God reacts to ours!

Louis is so excited to be sharing a small bit of his testimony in today's episode! Have you ever experienced one heartbreak after another with seemingly no answer from God?

Be the Light Ministry is changing! When we originally launched on April 6, 2021 the whole purpose for this podcast was to be a women's ministry focused on mental health and navigating life as a new Christian and growing in your faith. Mary has absolutely loved ministering to women for the last year and a half and it's been such a rewarding time in her life! That being said, God has been pressing on both of our hearts to turn this podcast around into a ministry for men and women. With Louis' encouragement, ideas and blessing, we are officially relaunching Be the Light Ministry! Louis and Mary will be co-hosting just about every episode together and hitting on topics such as biblical gender roles, marriage/young marriage, pregnancy, becoming new parents and sharing their testimonies. We are so excited for all the changes coming to this podcast and we hope you are too!
