Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our Stories
Stories are powerful. God’s stories, even more so. We know the big Bible stories from a long time ago: Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. But sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that God isn’t writing any new stories. Or that our stories are too little to matter. Nothing could be further from the truth! In this podcast, we’ll explore the God stories, big and little, of our neighbors. We’ll hear how our lives are rough drafts, being edited and formed into something more wonderful by the great author and finisher of our faith. We’ll hear plot twists and characters and tragedies and comedies. We’ll hear what God is writing in our unfinished lives. Join us to hear God at Work in the Rough Drafts of life!

This episode was a throwback for me...all the way back to 8th grade Bible at David Lipscomb Middle School.
Today's guest is Mike McPherson - youth minister, coach, Bible teacher....he wears a lot of hats. You may have heard his story in the past about navigating depression...and navigating his wife's death to ALS. In our conversation today, he shares some of the...less-than-helpful...things that well-meaning people have said along the way.
If you're in the Dickson area, Mike will be with us at Burns on Wednesday night at 4/24 to share Lisa's story. You don't want to miss it!

I met Tim Hines when we landed in Honduras last summer. Immediately, I knew he was going to be someone I wanted to know.
He's got a fantastic sense of humor (that I'm still a little afraid of)...incredible faith... and a generous heart. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, either. You've heard great things from his son, Dalton, in a previous episode!
