Welcome back to Season 2, Episode 6 of “In Great Company” with Betty Biratu, featuring special guest Pastor Paul Hanfere!

In Episode 6, Pastor Paul shares his story of redemption, calling, and God’s relentless grace. Raised as a pastor’s kid with dreams of athletic success, unexpected injuries led him down a different path—into business and far from Jesus. Running hard in the opposite direction, Paul was found by a grace that refused to let him go. 

Reflecting on Psalm 40:2–4, he tells how God lifted him from the pit, set his feet on solid ground, and placed a new song in his heart. What followed was a transformed life and the launch of a church he has pastored for seven years—a testimony of a God who still pursues, restores, and redeems.

Welcome back to Season 2, Episode 4 of “In Great Company” with Betty Biratu, featuring special guests Mrs. Bria Farr and Mr. Bryan Farr!

This week on IGC, we embark on Part 2 of a powerful two-part series featuring Brian and Bria—a couple who met in college, married young, and were deeply in love, yet unprepared for the challenges of marriage. Without the tools, guidance, or community needed to navigate early marriage and parenting, the weight of life pulled them apart. Brian moved to DC to pursue work, while Bria remained in Texas to raise their son and continue her education.

While they believed their story was over, the Lord was quietly at work—shaping, healing, and restoring them individually, preparing their hearts for a reconciliation they couldn’t yet imagine.

A testimony of God’s relentless pursuit and His sovereign, redemptive plan, this episode is an inspiring story of faith, hope, and the God who keeps working—even when we’ve given up.
