On November 11, 2011, Davey and Amanda Blackburn loaded up a moving truck and drove from Greenville, South Carolina to Indianapolis, Indiana to start Resonate Church, a place they hoped would bring new life to a city and reach people who didn’t know God. They were doing all the right things, for the right reasons. They had no idea what was going to happen.

Almost four years later on November 10, 2015, the unspeakable happened. Davey came home from the gym to find that his wife, who was pregnant, had been shot three times during a burglary gone wrong in their home. Thankfully, their fifteen-month-old son was left unharmed in his bedroom just down the hall, but Amanda passed away twenty-four hours later.

The story hit the headlines across the country, and the months following Amanda’s death brought Davey to the lowest level in his life. Nothing Is Wasted is the deeply moving story of Davey’s journey of despair and hardship, hope and healing, and how he has discovered firsthand that God has a bigger purpose in our pain. It is through this tragedy and Davey’s brokenness, forgiveness, and willingness to share his story that God’s presence and healing power allow triumph, victory, and forgiveness to have the last word.

In a world wrought with sexual sin, it can be extremely disheartening for believers to learn that those in leadership positions in the Church aren’t exempt from this downfall. With the recent news of Ravi Zacharias’ double life of sexual immorality, many people who were once blessed by him and his ministry, are now questioning the impact of his message. Today’s episode of The Hopecast is part two of Rachael’s interview with Pastor Anthony Turner. The two take a further look into the devastating effect that a minister’s sin can have on those who he or she spiritually nurtures. While there’s no denying the damage this type of news brings to the body of Christ, Pastor Turner reminds us to place a greater emphasis on the God of any Christian leader, more than we place on that leader. He also provides sage advice for those in ministry on how to keep themselves free from sin and the appearance of sin.

In a world where people are publicly renouncing their faith and are being exposed for hidden lifestyles, such as Dr. Paul Maxwell, Joshua Harris and the most recent news of Ravi Zacharias, how can believers avoid falling into the trap of cynicism? On today’s episode of The Hopecast, Rachael sits down with Pastor Anthony Turner, who has been in professional ministry for over 40 years, to discuss this very sensitive topic. In our current culture, high profile leaders deconstructing from Christianity has become commonplace. But many men and women are faithfully serving the church. In this interview, Pastor Anthony talks about what a life of integrity, authenticity and faithful service can look like, and how we as believers always need to value God above any leader and their giftings.
