Season 1: Hope When Life Hurts with Erica Parkerson
Welcome to Hope When Life Hurts, a special 5-episode podcast series designed to shine a light on what God is doing during the darkest moments of our lives. God wants to meet you in the middle of your mess. There is Hope for when you lose a loved one and your heart splits in two. Hope for when a transition in life leaves you feeling empty. Hope for when the life you expected to live…simply unravels. The struggle is real, but so is the hope!
“You, LORD, keep my lamp burning,” David wrote in the psalms. “My God turns my darkness into light.”
(Psalm 18:28)
