Pastors Confidential

We're talking about God's great faithfulness today with Lamentations 3:22-23. If you need encouragement that His mercies truly are new every morning, we hope you listen!

We're discussing one of the most well-loved Bible passages of all time today: Psalm 23. Eric phones in from the Pittsburgh airport so you'll have to excuse the quality (sometimes you get what you pay for!). We haven't had a chance to talk much over these last six days while he's been gone so you'll also hear some rabbit trails about UT football fans and NY airport protocol in the time of Covid! Just warning you in advance.

Today we're taking three of your favorite verses: all from Romans! Thanks to Brian, Diane, and Phyllis for submitting this week's verses. Lots of hope in today's episode as we discuss renewing our minds, discerning God's will, and being filled with peace and joy.

What do a girlfriend, a graveyard, and a German requiem have in common? They all led Eric to the one thing that endures: the Word of God. Join us today as we talk about how God originally pursued Eric and ultimately called him to devote his life to the only thing that "will stand forever."

We're starting off our new series with my favorite verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We talk about how the meaning of that verse has changed since the days I used to write it all over my sports equipment as a child! This is going to be a great series as dive deeper into some of your favorite passages as well.

This is the final episode in our series Hope in Hard Times. Today we've got Dr. Chuck Baldwin on the show, talking about his long career in pediatric surgery and how he finds hope through the ups and downs of work and life. We've loved getting to talk to such great and interesting people as we seek to stay connected despite the current circumstances.

Today we've got Jennifer Agarwal on the podcast talking about finding Hope in Hard Times -- even as a school nurse during a worldwide pandemic! Jennifer shares from her heart how the Lord is seeing her through this very challenging time.

We're excited for you to hear from Pastor Henry Schulte on the podcast today! For those of you who don't know Pastor Schulte, he served as the beloved Senior Pastor at St. John for over twenty years. We talk about his fifty years in ministry and how he's hanging on to HOPE while living alone for the first time after losing his beautiful wife Frances last year.

We've got Charlie Rownd, former FBI agent, on the podcast today talking about finding hope in hard times. It's a great conversation about staying positive in difficult circumstances and not letting problems define you. Charlie brought lots of insight and HOPE to the podcast today. Enjoy!

Today we kick off our Hope in Hard Times: Conversations in Quarantine series with a friend from Ohio, Barbie Moore. Barbie has been a friend and spiritual mentor for years and took our whole family under her wing when we first moved to Ohio. I'm so glad you get to hear some of her hope and wisdom on today's episode.
