Summary

Happy day before Thanksgiving!

This week we are especially grateful for each one of you - from listening and sharing the podcast to supporting and praying for the ministry - we couldn't be here without you. So, a BIG thank you from the StoryTellers Live ministry!

 

Today on the podcast, we have an incredible story of hope from Tulsa, Oklahoma community team member, Emily Curzon. Emily beautifully shares how the loss of her sister taught her so much about herself and her faith. Through her story, Emily reminds us of the sweet truths the Lord has given her through His kindness and faithfulness: how grief and joy can coexist; how the practice of remembering can increase your trust in God; and how the hope found in Jesus is in fact a secure anchor for your soul.  This is a great story to reflect on this holiday weekend!

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19
