  Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."      For Erin Hamby, of our Homewood community, desperate times didn't call for desperate measures.

In this episode, you will learn:    When we don't know what He is doing, we can know that He is faithful.    The Lord meets us in times of desperation and dependence.    He is a God of miracles and a God who speaks.       LINKS:  King Cotton Fabrics  Give  to Storytellers Live   Become a  Patreon Insider   Join us at the  2024 Stories of HOPE Luncheon
