Wherever you are in your walk towards God, whether you are a person working on your individual faith or a ministry working out God’s work in a group, we all need hope.
Yet, it is often in the darkest times, that we lose that hope…like the Israelites of the Old Testament who were freed from Egyptian slavery, but were too afraid to enter Promised Land.
That is what this podcast is about, finding and keeping the hope until we are redeemed.
We often assume that the heroes we look up to, like our Founding Fathers, were full of hope and super confident.
In reality, they had to develop that faith.
They had to develop the confidence that even if the world around them was dark, scary, and confusing. They had to fight with the confidence that God will handle the rest.
In this episode, Brad and Pastor Sam take a few moments over tea, to explore how we can develop that powerful faith in our lives. You’ll hear how the Old Testament story of redemption and obedience played a big role in the founding of the United States…and how that influence is with us, even to this day.
You’ll also learn about the role of obedience, service, and patience in becoming the kind of leader that God calls us to be.
They’ll cover questions like:
- How do I develop a stronger faith?
- What’s the “unpardonable” sin?
- What makes us lose faith?
- Can anyone (even with a bad past) be redeemed?
- How do I become a better servant of God?
- Is the Bible still relevant in our government?
- What kind of leadership should we be looking for?
