    Episode 142 - A Conversation With Myron Bruce ~ Singing With the Spirit

    Send us a text It’s always exciting to speak with someone who has found their place in life and are using it to help others.  That’s the idea behind this podcast.  How can we use what we’ve been given by God to help others as they discover, sustain, or regain hope. My guest in this episode is Myron Bruce.  Myron uses his knowledge and talents to help us grow in hope through song.  We’ll discuss how important it is for our hope, spiritual growth, and support for one another.  Even if you are not someone who has a great singing voice, you will enjoy what Myron has to say.  It may even cause you to bust out in song. I encourage you to go to Myron's web site and learn more about him.  The website is:  https://singingwiththespirit.com.   You can contact him directly by email at:  swts2011@gmail.com Myron is available to travel to congregations or groups to guide them as they strengthen and deepen their worship to our Lord through song.  It isn't a singing workshop.  It is a growing in spirit and truth through our songs workshop. Myron has written two excellent books about our use of singing in our worship to God and our edification of each other.   One is titled, "This is My Song".  The other is:  "The Splendor of Worship".  They are available on Amazon or through his web site.

    Episode 140 - A Conversation with Beth Johnson ~ Manager Ridout's Prattville Chapel

    Send us a text Most of us don’t think about the need for funeral services until there is a death of someone.  We also may not see a connection between a funeral service and hope.  It is counter-intuitive to put death and hope together.  Yet those who serve during the end of life activities, including funeral service directors do impact hope in survivors.  They help form a foundation upon which others move on into the future of their life. I invite you to listen to the conversation I have with my guest, Beth Johnson, a licensed funeral director as we discuss this critical service at a time when hope is challenged. Beth is the manager of Rideout’s Prattville Chapel.  You can contact her by phone at:  334-365-5982 or visit online at:  https://dignitymemorial.com.   The Ridout’s – Brown – Service Prattville Chapel is located at 347 East Main Street, Prattville, AL.  Support the show You can learn more about hope by visiting my web site: https://ourjourneytohope.com I encourage you to purchase a copy of the book, “Journey to Hope”.

    Episode 139 - Restoring What Was Lost

    Send us a text Friends, please forgive me for replaying an episode from 2023.  I feel that as the season of holidays centering on family and hope that it is fitting to revisit this episode. This episode focuses on regaining hope when we feel hope is lost.  Hope is not lost.  It may be misplaced or overlooked, but hope remains.  The only time hope is truly lost is when we give it up. Please listen and share with someone who is facing challenges.  And during this season, let's stay alert to those around us and share our Lord, the source of true and lasting hope.
