No parent ever wants to hear that one of their children has any disease or sickness so you can image our thoughts as we heard that our daughter Natalie had a rare form of lymphoma.  Part of the challenge was that she was in the Seattle, Washington area  and we were in Alabama.  

In this episode I discuss with Natalie about her experiences in her journey to hope.  It is a powerful conversation that I must admit, I had to edit out some of the tears we shared as we relived this as father and daughter.

If your hope is challenged by a life situation, I invite you to listen to the faith and courage Natalie expresses.  Or if you know someone challenged, please share.

We both want to express our appreciation to so many that cared for us, many we will never know but we love them dearly.

In this episode Philip Treat shares some wonderful insights into how we gain hope through reconciliation.  Of course, reconciliation is at the heart of the ultimate hope  found through our Savior, Jesus Christ.  It was His mission to be the way in which we find reconciliation with God. 

Specifically we discuss what reconciliation is, the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how God offers that to us.

Philip is the pulpit minister for the Eastern Hills Church of Christ in Marshall, TX.

It seems that all around us we see terrible trouble and strife.  This leads us to feel that there is no hope because of all the fear that bombards us daily.  It might cause us to doubt our faith and let the world creep in to rob us of hope.

In this episode we will discuss with John Mark Stephenson how we can find hope in a world of fear.  John Mark is the minister for young adults and professionals at the Prattville Church of Christ in Prattville, Alabama.  He ministers to families as they establish and grow in this world.  He helps them learn to face challenges to their family and life through this dynamic and sometimes fearful time of life.

Always remember that God is in charge.  Those who remain faithful to Him have already won and will be rewarded with peace in this life and an eternity with Him in heave.
