   Number 1: Rooted in Hope: Fully Seen, Fully Loved :: Scarlet Stearns' Story [Episode 386]

   We are so excited to welcome you back for a brand-new episode of StoryTellers Live! This fall, we're beginning a new series, Rooted in Hope: Grounded in God's Promises, where each week we'll take a closer look at a promise from Scripture and hear how God has faithfully lived it out in the life of one of our storytellers. Our prayer is that these stories will encourage you to anchor your heart in the unchanging promises of God, no matter what season you find yourself in. And, during this series, each week you will get a short devotional that will help you continue reflecting on the promise of the week. You can click on the link in our show notes or newsletter to receive it! Today's episode features Scarlet Stearns, who first shared her story at our annual Stories of Hope Luncheon. Scarlet opens up about growing up with an alcoholic mother, finding refuge at the Big Oak Ranch, and the countless ways God pursued her through every season of uncertainty. As she reflects on His faithfulness, Scarlet reminds us that we are fully seen, deeply loved, and never beyond the reach of God's redeeming grace. Her story will encourage you to know that God can bring healing, blessing, and purpose even from our deepest wounds. This week's promise: There has never been a moment in your life when God has not seen you or loved you. Verses of the Week: From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind. From his dwelling place, he watches all who live on earth. He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. Psalm 33:13-15 ______________________________________________________ This ministry is sustained by generous donors who believe in the power of sharing stories of hope.

   Number 2: Rooted in Hope: Chosen & Cherished :: Beth Glass' Story [Episode 388]

   Looking for your value and worth in your appearance, your achievements, or the approval of others is an easy trap to fall into. Yet when we build our identity on the things of this world, we'll always come up empty. On this week's podcast, storyteller Beth Glass from our West Cobb community just outside Atlanta, Georgia, shares her all-too-familiar journey of searching for identity in all the wrong places. As she chased acceptance and belonging, she was left feeling insecure, forgotten, and unloved. Through her story, Beth gently yet boldly exposes the lies the enemy wants us to believe - lies that keep us trapped in feelings of unworthiness - and points us to the unchanging truth of God's Word: You are loved, valued, worthy, and redeemed. You are good enough, and you are His. This week's promise: You are valuable to God and your identity is secure because God uniquely created you. VERSE OF THE WEEK: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

   Number 3: Rooted in Hope: Sustained by His Strength :: Jada Scruggs' Story :: [Episode 387]

   As we continue our special series, Rooted in Hope: Grounded in God's Promises, today's story is a powerful reminder that even in life's deepest heartbreak, God remains our strength. Jada Scruggs shared her story at our newly established StoryTellers Live community in Nashville, Tennessee. With remarkable honesty and unwavering faith, Jada recounts the unimaginable tragedy of a mass shooter entering her daughter's school and the devastating loss of her daughter, Hallie. Though her story is filled with profound grief, it is ultimately a testimony to the sustaining strength and faithfulness of God. As Jada points us to the truth of Scripture, we're reminded that God does not abandon us in our suffering. He upholds us, carries us through the darkest valleys, and gives us the strength to endure. And because of the hope we have in Christ, death is not the end—it is the doorway to eternal life. This week's promise: God is your strength. Verse of the week: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 _____________________________________________________ This ministry is sustained by generous donors who believe in the power of sharing stories of hope.
