Unquenchable Hope

Send a text

Walking with God is certainly an adventure, often marked by unexpected twists and turns along the way. In this episode, Mary Ann and Luanne talk about how God moves us from places, jobs and ministries -- even when we're happy where we are -- because He has something else for us to do. And then the ladies talk about how the Lord has led them, separately but simultaneously, to the decision that the time has come to wrap up recording new episodes of their Unquenchable Hope podcast. Their prayer is that the nearly 180 episodes of this podcast will continue to encourage others for many years to come, as all the episodes will continue to be posted on their personal websites, on the Unquenchable Hope Facebook page, and on most podcast apps. 

Luanne’s newest book, “Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God,” is available for order through her website (see below) and on amazon.com, as is Mary Ann’s book, “Live. Learn. Laugh!”

An iceberg sunk the Titanic, and the iceberg of anger can sink us, too, if we don't recognize that there are other emotions below the surface that need to be dealt with in the light of God's truth and healing grace. In this episode, Luanne and Mary Ann talk with Denise Mock, a life coach who teaches anger management courses to people who are compelled to be there by employers or the legal system because they crashed on the iceberg of anger.

What do you do when God allows things to happen to you that just don't match up with those wonderful Bible stories you heard as a kid in Sunday School?

Did you ever notice that when Jesus approached His disciples in the Gospel accounts and said, "Follow Me," they didn't seem to ask any questions? They didn't say, "You mean NOW?" or even "Where are You going?" They just left everything and followed Him. Here's the thing: He still wants that same whole-hearted commitment from His followers today. Join Luanne and Mary Ann as they talk about the kinds of people Jesus can lead  and where He wants to lead them.

Throughout the Gospels, one of the things Jesus often said to those He encountered was simply, "Follow me." Some dropped everything and did just that, but others came up with excuses or just couldn't surrender something in their lives they knew Jesus was asking them to leave behind. In this first of a three-part series, Mary Ann and Luanne challenge us to consider this eternally important question: How about us? Will we follow Him, no matter what it costs?.

Is anyone missing from your nativity scene this Christmas? Well, our special guest, Denise Mock, says she wants to add figurines of Zecharia and Elizabeth to hers. The unlikely parents of John the Baptist, "Zech and Lizzie" experienced a miraculous pregnancy just months before Elizabeth's cousin Mary did, and likely provided encouragement, security and confirmation to the young woman who was chosen to be the mother of Jesus. And as Denise points out, that story is loaded with encouragement for us today.
