Welcome to A Burst Of Hope! This week Martha and Kim are thrilled to have Lisa Martin join them at the podcast table. Lisa is a retired educator who quickly discovered that God had a new assignment for her after her years of teaching in the school system. "Experiencing God" is not only a well loved study written by Henry Blackaby but is a way of life as Lisa so passionately shares.

If you need some inspiration for finding hope in your current season of life, you will find it here as you listen to Lisa's heart. Please be sure to share this episode with a friend.

Kim and Martha delve into the story of the Israelites entering into the long awaited Promised Land as God led them, only to find the walled city of Jericho blocking their view. What happens when we hit a wall; a wall that God has led us to? Join us at the table today as we look at the intricate and intimate ways that God led his people to victory and how He leads us today into abundant life with Him.

This week on the podcast Martha and Kim welcome Rhodena Buck to the table. Rhodena is the Co-Founder and the US Program Director of Bridge Scholarship, an organization that provides Haitian college students a bridge to success through academics, leadership, training and English proficiency. Her "yes" to God led her to begin praying for missions and helping to raise funds for an orphanage in Haiti. God invited her to a bigger "yes" of going to Haiti herself, which led to many years of ministry there. As a potter, she knows the beautiful transformation we experience as we keep saying yes to the One who continues to shape and mold us.

Her inspirational story will fuel your own desire to walk boldly through the doors of opportunity that God invites us to.

Martha and Kim are so happy that their friend, Annette Burrell is sitting at the table with them today! Annette has been a guest on A Burst Of Hope before (episode #43 ) and today she has fresh hope to share with all of us in this new year.

At the heart of Annette's story is that mysterious "peace beyond understanding"—the kind that doesn't make logical sense given our circumstances, but somehow sustains us anyway. Join us as we explore how this peace shows up in hospital rooms, in seasons of waiting, in answered and unanswered prayers alike, and in the quiet moments when we realize we're still standing even though we weren't sure we would be.

Here's a link to the devotional that Annette is published in:

"Quiet Hour" - August 2026 and Spring 2027

Happy New Year to you! We're thankful to have you join Martha and Kim for the first podcast of the New Year. As we step into 2026, with our new calendars, plans, and goals, maybe the greatest adventure is not in all our well made plans, but in releasing the grip on the pen and letting God write our story instead. And we don't have to do it alone. Listen in as Martha and Kim unpack what these great expectations may look like.
