Love Hope and Stories

“The moment I actually admitted I was hopeless in those situations, and felt that, and the weight of that, I think that’s where it kind of gave space for hope to actually step in.” - Stephanie Embree

In this episode, Stephanie Embree shares a season of her life that many of us will never experience. While Stephanie was in college, her family was homeless. She describes some of what she encountered during that time and the moment everything shifted towards hope.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (ESV)

Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Before we really get started with #BeStrongSeptember, let’s remember where to find perfect strength. Yes, we will do our part to get strong, but recognizing and surrendering our weakness to Jesus Christ is where all the hope is found.
