Hope Choice Board Member & Business owner, Trent Taylor shares the importance of truly knowing the Word of God and where to begin if you're just getting started.

This week, the tables turn and Candy answers the questions! Hear how she's seen the Goodness of God through His redemptive work in her life. From 
The Lord keeps His word and He promises that His goodness and mercy will follow us! Yet, His goodness and mercy can't "follow" something that isn't moving.

In this episode, Jake encourages us to take hold of our ultimate calling as, "Servants of the Gospel." In seasons where we feel "stuck" or in the waiting, we must remain eternally minded and remember that nothing matters more than the souls of those around us! You'll be challenged to reflect on how you can be a servant of the gospel in your current sphere of influence. Regardless of where you find yourself today, you have purpose and an opportunity to have powerful Kingdom impact! 

The Lord told us, "in this world you WILL have trials, but I have overcome the world!" Opposition and adversity are unavoidable - yet, in His goodness He has already overcome it! Be encouraged as you listen to this episode with Jake Gibbs, as he shares about being faithful in the midst of obstacles, enduring hardship, and allowing His truth to be the joy set before us in the midst of it!

When we get in "choppy water" we must resist the urge to jump out of the boat. He is in it with you!

Our most difficult circumstances can be "divine disruptions" allowing us to discover more of God's goodness! Hear the powerful testimony of His goodness in the life of my dear friend, Debbie Jackson. "Cancer is a name, but so is Jesus, and His name is above every other!" Don't miss this one - you will be encouraged to anchor deep in His truth and ride out the storms that life can bring!

This week's episode is one of triumph in the midst of tragedy! Overcoming the sudden loss of her son, Sarah and Candy reflect on the days spent persevering, grieving, and coming through the other side to see His goodness.

Continuing with the theme of, "faith," this week, Dr. Howie Batson shares the role his faith plays in leading his family, First Baptist Amarillo, and those he shepherds. FBC Amarillo is serving and uniting the generations through worship, the Word, and serving the community. Their newest project will provide a literal "bridge" between the generations that will combine Park Place Retirement facility with their Student building. 

You don't have to compromise the Truth in order to operate in grace.  With this firm belief, FBC Amarillo is reaching the nations within our city with the truth of Jesus. 

Howie's vision to eliminate the "entertainment factor" and engage the body of Christ in service unto Him, will inspire you and set your heart back to the mission of the Gospel!
