Unquenchable Hope

(NOTE: PLEASE FORGIVE THE AUDIO QUALITY ON THIS PARTICULAR RECORDING. WE KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE LISTENING TO A CHEAP TRANSISTOR RADIO IN 1965. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED.) Does it seem like everyone else in the race is wayyyyyy ahead of you and there's no chance you can catch up? Luanne looks back to the 1972 Olympics to provide a great example of why our race is never hopeless as long as we don't quit. Mary Ann once again reminds us that if we keep doing the right thing--obeying God-- we'll end up where we're supposed to be, even if where we're supposed to be isn't quite like we imagined it would be. 

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!”

You may not have run 100 miles, but as Luanne mentions in this episode, a friend of hers has and it's a great physical example of the kind of spiritual endurance Christ-followers need in order to finish the race God has called each of us to run. In this episode, Luanne and Mary Ann encourage us (and themselves) to run with endurance the race set before us and finish well, to the glory of God.

Luanne and Mary Ann continue talking about being offended, which is an epidemic in our culture. As Luanne explains, being offended is like bait that the devil uses to entrap us in anger, bitterness, hatred, and ultimately, if we don’t choose to forgive, a hardened heart.

Remember that old commercial with the Budweiser Frogs where one of them tells the other, “Let it go, Louie … let it go”? Well, most of the time, that’s pretty good advice. As Mary Ann and Luanne discuss in this episode, if we’re going to shine like stars in this dark world, we need to respond the right way if someone offends us or ticks us off. If Dolly Parton did it, we can, too.
