    A Living Hope

    We are so thrilled to welcome Amy Lively to the podcast today. Amy is passionate about teaching God's Word as a "How to" manual for loving Him and loving others. She is married to her elementary school sweetheart and they have one daughter.  She is currently enrolled at Asbury Theological Seminary pursuing a Masters degree in Biblical and Theological Foundations.
    Amy is the author of a book called "Can I Borrow A Cup Of Hope?" which naturally peaked our interest in having her as  a guest on the show.
    She not only replied with a generous "yes," but she showed up with Hope overflowing and shared her passionate love for God and His Word with great grace and gusto.
    As she takes us through the treasures in 1 Peter, you will be thanking God for this Living Hope He has given us!
    We loved our time with her very much and we know you will love her too.

    Be sure to check out Amy's website link below and the books she has written. She has many resources available for you.

keto Mimi ,

Never miss an episode

I listen to so many podcasts on a wide variety of subjects but A Burst of Hope has become my favorite! The messages never fail to inspire me and give me hope. Martha and Kim have a gift for putting the spotlight on God’s perspective. As I listen to them and the godly women who share their stories, the cares of the world seem to be minimized and the God who is in control of it all is glorified!!

MegluvsJesus ,

Hope is found in Jesus

I love listening to real women speak on how they have found their hope in Jesus and God in everyday real life circumstances.
