Wrestling with Hope: Prophetic Hope, Defiant Hope, and Shadows of Hope
Thanks for checking out the first episode of Faith Made Welcome, a progressive podcast on faith brought to you by Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia.
For the next four weeks, our podcast will feature discussions and reflection sparked from a special activist sermon series CBC and several other congregations are taking part in this month. Each week in August, an activist preacher is giving us their take on “What the World Needs Now…”
The first sermon of this series, which you can watch on our Youtube Channel, featured Judge Wendell Griffen, an Arkansas Circuit Judge and Pastor of New Millennium Church, an Alliance of Baptists congregation in Little Rock. In his sermon, Judge Griffen proclaimed that what the world needs now is "Prophetic Hope for a Desperate World.”
In this episode of the podcast, CBC Pastors Robin and Marty Anderson join podcast enthusiast Cheri Spiegel for a conversation about hope: prophetic hope, defiant hope, and shadows of hope. Listen in for a discussion about faith and stick around to hear who wins the Bible Drill: Robin or Marty!
About Judge Griffen
Judge Griffen is an incredible man who brings his action together with his preaching. For example, on Good Friday 2017, he protested capital punishment outside of the Arkansas Governor's mansion. As you might guess, he has since been banned from hearing death penalty cases. Judge Griffen is also the author of The Fierce Urgency of Prophetic Hope.
