    In this episode of A Burst Of Hope, Martha and Kim invite you to look at your life as a vessel of hope. We are all containers of Christ Himself, "this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Col. 1:27)
    How do we carry this treasure, especially as it pertains to our words? What life are we bringing into our conversations, the rooms we walk into, the peoples' lives we speak into? That's what the conversation is about around the table today.
    We're so glad you're here!!

    Thank you for helping us share the Hope of Jesus with others!!!!

    Send us a Text Message and let us know what you think!

    This week on the podcast we welcome Priscilla Carr to the table. Priscilla is the producer extraordinaire for A Burst Of Hope and she is back on the air with us to share a good word of hope.

    James 1:2- 3 says to count it all joy wet we meet trials of various kinds "for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."
    Priscilla brings beautiful insight into those verses from her own personal story. And as she celebrates a very special anniversary, we remember with grateful hearts how the Spirit pursues each of us for the Father's glory.

    Here's a link to the song: Shepherd Of My Heart

    We are so thankful for YOU and the privilege of sharing this journey of Hope with you.
