    This week on Friday Focus, Emaley and Emily sit down with Alyson Hanson, whose life and ministry are deeply rooted in the daily rhythms of camp life at Southland Christian Ministries. Alyson and her husband, Erik, joined Southland’s full-time staff in 2018 after years of serving on summer staff—a season that not only shaped their calling but also brought them together in marriage. Today, Erik leads key maintenance projects across the property while Alyson serves faithfully as a full-time mom, piano teacher, and active supporter in Southland’s ministries. In this episode, Alyson shares her story of how God led their family to camp life, the joys and challenges of raising children in ministry, and the spiritual lessons learned through motherhood, loss, and God’s faithful provision. From the meaning behind her daughters’ names to her insights for young mothers seeking to nurture a love for Christ in their homes, Alyson’s perspective offers a beautiful reminder that serving the Lord often begins in the quiet, everyday moments of family life.

    Speaking the Word (Psalm 119:41-48)

    In this sixth stanza of Psalm 119, we discover a believer who not only treasures God’s Word in his heart but also proclaims it boldly with his mouth. As Micah and Micah walk verse by verse through Psalm 119:41–48, they trace a powerful theme—God’s Word in My Mouth—and explore how mercy, salvation, and truth lead the psalmist from quiet devotion to confident declaration. This passage highlights three Christian virtues Paul names in 1 Corinthians 13:13: faith (v.42), hope (v.43), and love (vv.47–48). You’ll hear how God’s mercies give assurance, His Word gives confidence, and His commandments stir delight and obedience. From unashamed boldness before kings to humble submission before God, this section of Psalm 119 reminds us that true liberty comes from a life rooted in the Word—and spoken for His glory.

  8. Longing For The Word (Psalm 119:37-40)

    OCT 20

    Longing For The Word (Psalm 119:37-40)

    In this episode of The Word Within Micah Herbster is joined by Scott Bratt to explore Psalm 119:37–40—the fifth stanza of this rich psalm and a powerful expression of a maturing believer’s desire for transformation. Building from last week’s discussion with Mike Herbster, this passage moves beyond learning aboutGod’s Word to being shaped by it. Together, Micah and Scott trace the Psalmist’s prayerful journey—from asking God to teach his mind, heart, and steps, to now guarding his eyes and confirming his faith. They unpack how spiritual vitality, not empty vanity, is the cure for a wandering gaze, and how God’s established Word produces steadfast devotion in His people. As the conversation unfolds, the theme of longing becomes central—a growing hunger for the life-giving truth of Scripture. Scott and Micah reflect on the Psalmist’s plea for renewal and courage amid reproach, drawing wisdom from voices like Spurgeon, Manton, and Jonathan Edwards. Through this stanza, listeners are invited to examine their own desires: Do we truly long for God’s Word to revive us and confirm His promises within us? Join this rich discussion and be stirred to pray with the Psalmist, “Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts: quicken me in Thy righteousness.”
