Bringing Her Hope

Bio:

Julie K. Gillies is the author of Prayers to Calm Your Anxious Heart: 100 Reassuring Devotions, From Hot Mess to Blessed, and the devotional Prayers for a Woman's Soul.

Her books help readers know God, know Scripture, and know how to pray.

Julie is the joyful wife of Keith, mom of three adults and Grammy of five. She loves baking from scratch, any day without humidity, and hanging out with the entire family, especially on days when her house is clean.

I will tell you that anxiety feels like it is at an all time high for people. The world feels upside down and backwards and we are all just trying to catch our breath. Which is why I needed this conversation and friend I am betting you do as well. So grab a cozy spot if you can or take this conversation on your neighborhood walk and let's discover how prayer calms our anxious hearts.

My guests this week are Seth and Megan Halligan. When their sweet daughter Dottie was born, they were delighted! She was their first child, healthy and full of life, wide-eyed and looking the world over. They sent pictures to their families and made it “Facebook Official.” Dottie was a New Year's Eve baby, born December 31st at 8:24 pm. She weighed 8lbs 5oz and was a mere 10 days past her due date. All was well… until it wasn’t.

My guest this week on the Bringing Her Hope Podcast is Sandy Park. Sandy first experienced the goodness of God at the tender age of 13 during a weeklong camp meeting. Though the years ahead were filled with the heartache of her parents' divorce, the bondage of her childhood abuse and the shame and pain of a pregnancy out of wedlock which ended in an abortion, that first encounter left an imprint on her heart that would continue to draw her into a lifelong love affair with Jesus.

Friend, if you have made choices in your past where you have questioned whether God’s grace can not only cover your sin but redeem your story, then this is the podcast episode for you.
