Great Podcast! 10/10 recommend
I don’t even like podcasts, but I love this! Awesome messages!
Gripping, Emotional and Hopeful
I have been listening to the podcast since it started and have felt like I’ve been connected to the Reed family in a whole new way. I’ve found myself in tears at times listening to the previous two episodes that have been made since Kaleb’s passing. But God is showing His power and glory through the Reed family and is sustaining them during this season. Even though I never got to meet Kaleb I praise God that he is now getting to sprint down the streets of heaven with his brand new glorified body. I’m so fortunate to be part of the Hopeful Sufferers tribe and God has taught me so much about Himself through this podcast. I’m thankful for the transparency of both Erik and Brett and how in each episode they always point everything towards Jesus and the hope we have in Him. If you or someone you know is in need of hope and you or they need to be reminded of the hope that is found in our Sovereign God then please subscribe to this podcast. You will be blessed!
Amazing!!
I started listening to the podcast when Erik and Brett started back in January and got the chance to meet Erik at NGU Fuge this past July. This podcast continues to be encouraging to me in my own trials. Total worth the listen!!
