Storming the Gates: A podcast about Prayer

Daily a spiritual war is waged, and war is hard. The battles may seem endless. Our strength gives way, and our hearts break. As God's soldiers, we must get beyond the noise and meet with our commander in the quiet and secluded places. This podcast is such a place. Here, we retreat from the war. Here, we will find reassurance through His Word that there is hope and promises for our future. We can gain battle strategies for our lives, and assignments to win the Kingdom for His name's sake! Let your heart be mended and your soul revived. Together we will pick up our sword, put on our armor, and head out to battle once again.

To all the Mothers, with love.

My oldest daughter wrote this concerning Mother's Day:

"I’m keenly aware of the complexity of the weekend's holiday. Where celebrated mothers leave others feeling the gaps of loss, may you hold your losses tenderly and find surprising ways you have been mothered well. And may you give yourself the grace to see where you have mothered others well, no matter your official titles.
Mothering is found in the failing and the tripping. In the open arms of repair"

This podcast is for those needing to fall into the open arms of repair.

Whether you have wild donkeys or tame lambs in your midst, I pray it is like a bubble bath after a long day filled with the noise and mess of parenting. That it is a soothing ointment for the weary soul. That it revives hope in a time of helplessness.
