Ep 35 l Worry... Getting to the AMEN.
I hope you enjoyed hearing from some of our ministry friends and partners - last week. It was truly so wonderful, for us, to hear from others that have been such a pivotal part of this ministry over the years. We are so grateful for them... their support, guidance, leadership and participation with this ministry.
Today, we are changing gears a bit and talking about WORRY and ANXIETY. Do you worry? Would you consider yourself a worrier? I had not ever considered myself a worrier, however; I have realized recently - that I have been struggling with worry.
Research has shown... of EVERYTHING we worry about in our lives - only 8% of those things MAY come to life.
Here are some (HARD) questions I would love for YOU to REFLECT on and ASK YOURSELF:
1. What do you do when you are worrying...? I have realized, I turn to food.
Some others escape - run.
2. Do YOU TRUST God to carry you thru the things you worry about?
3. Are there worries in YOUR LIFE that you 'give to God', but never fully relinquish hold of?
We tend to run from God or turn from Him and turn towards something that
doesn't bring JOY or COMFORT.
I want to leave you with these final words of wisdom... "Any time you feel pressure - it is ONLY measuring the resistance to what God has allowed into your life."
I pray today, you can yield to the pressure and that YOU are able to get the AMEN... let it be said, let it be done.

Ep 34 l ADTH Special Guests' Episode
This podcast actually took place during our annual TopGolf fundraiser. I can't wait for YOU to hear from some of our closest friends and ministry partners. Here we go...
Our first guest is Cathy Bell. Cathy is one of the longest running board members on our Brent Gambrell Ministries / ADTH Board of Directors; she serves as our Secretary and my life long bff. Cathy Bell knows everything about me and I about her... so, needless to say - we will be in each other's lives FOREVER! Fun fact about Cathy... if it wasn't for her - my first book, Living For Another, would not have been written. (True story)
Welcome Rick and Judy Barnette. These two have been some of the greatest advocates for ADTH... they may hold the record for most trips to Haiti. Rick, truly loves HAITI and this ministry. He has a heart of gold, and helps in ways that just BLOW US AWAY! Rick always gives great insight - and is usually the first to ask me the hard questions. I love that he loves me and this ministry enough to ask those hard questions.
Welcome Kris Kelso, the chairman of our Board of Directors. Kris is the husband to Mary Jo Kelso - who has been on our podcast and one of the O.G. members of this ministry. Kris has been involved with this ministry since the beginning - and he was one of the FIRST MEMBERS of our Board of Directors. He is 19 years in and counting! We love Kris and can't wait for you to hear his heart and insight. Kris brings an energy and wisdom to this ministry that is much needed and respected.
Welcome William Horton. William is our Treasurer. He is the money man... and we value his insight and love for this ministry. We met William thru his beautiful daughters, Katie and Corbie. He had NO idea that after meeting him on his 1st trip to Haiti, with his daughter Katie, that he would forever be connected and a pivotal part of this ministry.
I am very excited for you to hear from some dear friends of this ministry.
Mike Slinker and his family - Tennessee Memories. We love the Slinker family... they are new friends to the ministry, but have already become family and are HUGE IMPACT partners for ADTH.
Hunter Briley and his wife, Wendy, - Regal Reality Group. Hunter is one of the few that I call "my boy". He was in my youth group at Two Rivers, and Hunter holds a very special place in my heart... he will forever be 'my boy'!
We saved the best for last! I want you to meet Moises Sifren. Moises is the Director of Maranatha Ministry and the Director of the La Romana Hospital. Moises is our ministry partner in the Dominican Republic. We had the wonderful fortune of meeting Moises 4 years ago. In praying thru and asking the Lord where He might lead us to expand this ministry... He lead us to La Romana, Dominican Republic. After seeing the work this man and his organization have been doing with the Haitian communities in the D.R. - the Lord made it VERY CLEAR this is exactly WHERE and WHO we were supposed to partner with. Please LISTEN as Moises shares his INCREDIBLE STORY and what we will be building together in the D.R.
I hope you have enjoyed meeting our ADTH family! If you have ANY questions about our ministry or our ministry partners - please reach out! We would LOVE to SHARE all the information we can! If YOU would like to join us on a trip to the Dominican Republic - click HERE for all the information!

Ep 31 l Blessed are the Peacemakers... during a time of War (In Studio)
How do we - as Christians - respond to this war?
Today, we have the conversation... I didn't think I would ever talk about publicly. BUT, we did... and today we talk about the War in Ukraine and what OUR RESPONSIBILITY is as a BELIEVER.
This is what we CAN DO and what OUR RESPONSIBILITY is:
1. We are to PRAY for the people of Ukraine.
2. We need to TRUST God is in CONTROL.
3. We need to SUPPORT Ukraine in whatever small way can.
4. We need to PRAY for the Christian Church in Ukraine / protection of the people and the
children.
5. We need to PRAY for Russian Leadership / Ukrainian Leadership / American Leadership /
NATO Leadership - pray for God's wisdom to intervene.
6. We need to see the ENEMY for who the ENEMY is and what he is doing.
Our challenge to YOU: start to LOVE and SERVE your friends and neighbors well!

Ep 32 l No Footprints on Water with Mary Jo Kelso (In Studio)
Today we are joined by, the one and only, Mary Jo Kelso. Mary Jo and I go back many, many, many years; Mary Jo is one of the founding members of Images. Images was our comedy/drama trio that traveled coast to coast sharing the Gospel thru drama skits, worship, Biblical teaching and comedy. Mary Jo, is married to Kris Kelso (the chairman of our Board of Directors) and is the mother to 3 of the tallest, coolest boys... Owen, Ivan and Aron.
I admitted to Mary Jo, during this podcast, that I learned so much about the Bible from her. One of the biggest things I learned from Mary Jo was... she would say, 'I am gonna GO GET CLOSE'. That was how SHE described - what must of us call - our 'quiet time'. I just LOVED THAT; so, I totally stole it from her and now say... 'I am gonna go get close!'.
Have you ever tried to walk on water? Well, Mary Jo did - 😂 - today she tells us about that event and the moment (years later) God used it to reveal a beautiful truth to her. I promise this will be an episode you will NOT want to miss.
Join me as we hear Mary Jo's heart and learn what it means to ask the question,
"Who God is?".

Ep 33 l Mary Jo Kelso - Grace Momma - Pt 2
It has been a minute, but here is the 2nd part to our time with Mary Jo Kelso. Today was so fun as we talk about how Mary Jo started with Images, and we hear what prompted her to start writing her new book - GRACE MOMMA.
We love what she shares about the moment she realized that parenting methods aren't the answers... listening to the HOLY SPIRIT is. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Customer Reviews
On Point
I have enjoyed (and been super convicted by… didn’t love those kicks in the pants) Brent’s teaching since I was a teenager. We don’t need to talk about exactly how long ago that was but I’ll sum up in three words and if you know, you know.
Images.
Henry.
Mary.
I’m excited to hear him again! His teaching is Biblical and on point. He’s just as relatable now as he was when I was back then. I encourage folks of all ages to listen to just one sermon and test it against scripture, you won’t be disappointed.
Godly Leader
Brent brings the Bible and being a Christian in laymen’s terms, when he speaks he doesn’t speak in big terms, and he feels what he is speaking, I have heard him speak several times, the love he has for the Bible and showing who Christ is, is his passion, listen to him here, or if you get a change and go hear him and his actions has he is speaking, you’ll feel it in your heart.
