warriors for the kingdom...

There is radio station in Birmingham, Alabama called Rick and Bubba. Yes, Rick and Bubba. My best friend from college, Stephanie, called me first thing in the morning yesterday to share their story with me. And, boy, did it touch my heart. To hear the emotion of hope and faith in her voice and to hear the story of a father, a family, a community use an earthly tragedy of loss to speak of the Father's glory left me in awe. What an amazing testimony. And it reminded me of how many times we witness that. Our friends, The Adams, who shared their faith in the Lord while their baby son fought cancer and is now cancer free. My friend, PJ, with her baby in the NICU, praising God every day for His many blessings. Women, like my Sisters in Christ, that put their heart on the line every day to nuture, witness and tend to other women. Celebrate Recovery members showing up every week to be so real and so raw for His glory. Misionaries overseas fighting the good fight. Mothers and fathers raising up the next generation of believers. People every day willing to be changed and transformed for the purpose of God's purpose. People every day working for their Father's glory...warriors for the Kingdom of God. Sharing the Good News. Going on the Great Commission. Living for the Lord.

I have attached the link to The Rick and Bubba Show. It has a 3 part video of a "Celebration Service" for William Bronner -- a father's amazing testimony of FAITH and how faith and HOPE can create CHANGE. How God can work everything and anything for GOOD.

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.." (1Peter 3:15)
