Summary

“It’s in our year after year pain, that the God we’ve known from a distance becomes our Lord Almighty.” Today’s Episode Welcome to our very first episode of the Cultivate Podcast, with Bible teacher and author Kelly Minter! We’re starting off the first few episodes with a highlight reel, of sorts. Think of it as Kelly’s Top Hits when it comes to narratives in Scripture, and how God has used these characters in His Word to teach her clear truths about her own life. Today Kelly is talking about the Lord’s faithfulness to turn pains that inflict us year after year into blessings that call us to praise Him year after year. How do we respond to people who intentionally harm and provoke us? How are we supposed to worship God in the midst of heartbreaking pain? Where does prayer fit in when God seems to be the one behind our pain? Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel is a powerful picture of this redemption and comfort that God offers us. Join us for this honest and relatable study of how the Lord hears our deepest cries and our most desperate prayers. Scripture References 1 Samuel 1:4-8, 10-11, 15-20 1 Samuel 2:18-19 1 Samuel 2:1-10 for further reading Deut 12:1-14 (background on the festival Hannah and Elkanah were part of.) 1 Sam 2:1-10 Handy Links • Subscribe on accessmore.com or wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode. • Check out kellyminter.com for more resources and to sign up for our newsetter. • Follow Kelly on Instagram at Kelly_Minter.

0:53.3	I am so excited to be launching this podcast because every week,
0:59.5	you and I are going to have the opportunity to open up God's Word and listen to what God is saying
1:06.7	through His Word to our lives today. And God's Word has changed my life. The Lord has changed me through it
1:14.0	in ways that I cannot possibly overestimate. And teaching the Bible is one of the greatest passions
1:20.8	and joys of my life. And so to be able to get to do this in this medium is so fun for me because it's just a more
1:31.8	relaxed and intimate environment. In fact, right now I'm sitting at my dining room table and I'm
1:39.7	just imagining that you're right here and we are going to get to open God's word together.
1:44.9	Of course, if you are actually right here with me, we would definitely be drinking coffee or

2:08.7	for us to be here together. And when I was thinking about launching a podcast, I kept thinking,
2:15.3	okay, well, if it's a Bible, if this is a Bible teaching podcast,
2:18.6	where in the world do you start? Like, where in the Bible do I start? Something like this.
2:23.9	Do I start in the Old Testament? Do I start in the New Testament? Do we walk through a book?
2:29.9	And then finally, it just really kind of came to me after talking to a lot of friends and just
