    Today, Martha and Kim welcome Amy Zaring to the podcast. Amy is a fellow Touching Hearts sister. She is married with two adult children. Her background is in Education, as a Special Education Consultant. She is recently retired.

    Amy opens up her heart and shares how God's pursuit of her has led to knowing Him in a more intimate way and given her a new found freedom.

    Whether you're feeling lost in the wilderness or standing at a crossroads, this is a space where you can breathe deeply and remember that being pursued by God doesn't mean giving up your personality—it means discovering the freedom to become fully yourself, embracing hope and authenticity on this sacred journey in Christ.

    Here's the book Amy talked about: The Well -Watered Woman

    Waiting in Hope for the Promise

    This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim search the Scriptures for the hope we have as we wait on the promise of Pentecost. That first Pentecost found the disciples all together in an upper room, waiting as instructed by Jesus when He ascended. What happened as they waited?

    We have been given the promised Holy Spirit upon personal salvation; He resides within us. There are times, though, when we have to wait on God. What does that season look like for you? What do we do in the waiting? Who are we waiting with?

    Join Martha and Kim at the table as they discover some beautiful truths to encourage us all in the waiting.
