If you've been around for a while, you know we're dog lovers. That's why we're incredibly excited to bring you a very special episode of the podcast: This week we sat down with Larry Randolph and Jennifer Marshall Bleakley to talk about their book Finding Grace: The Inspiring True Story of Therapy Dogs Bringing Comfort, Hope, and Love to a Hurting World.



Larry and his wife Susan co-founded Canines for Christ in 2007, and since then they’ve seen the therapy dog program grow into an international volunteer-based ministry reaching hundreds of thousands of people with God’s love.



Join us as Larry and Jennifer talk about the surprising role prayer played in Canines for Christ becoming a ministry, some of the ways they've seen therapy dogs open doors for prayer and ministry, and the power of therapy dogs to bring the love of God to a hurting world.

On this Good Friday, we’re joined by author and Bible teacher Jessica Herberger to talk about the much-overlooked day of Holy Saturday. As we lament the death and burial of Jesus, we took some time to contemplate the in-between time when the disciples didn’t have the advantage we have of knowing what was about to come on Resurrection Sunday.

Our own lives are full of “Holy Saturday” seasons, and Jessica shares about some of her own experiences in this realm, what the Bible can teach us about how to acknowledge where we are and look to what God has for us there. We discuss tips and pitfalls for our Holy Saturday seasons, the role of prayer in processing times of grief and waiting, and the importance of bearing witness to the pain of others.
