When the waves of life tower over us, where do we find our anchor? This question resonates deeply as I sit down with the remarkable Cheryl Holland, a testament to unwavering faith in the midst of lifes squalls. Our latest EncouragHER Community Podcast episode sails through Cheryls moving testimony, striking a chord with anyone whos faced hardships and contemplated abandoning their post. We delve into the Apostle Pauls "Dont Jump Ship" narrative from Acts 27, drawing parallels to her own experiences and discovering how, even in the roughest seas, Gods presence is a steadfast beacon of hope. “Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the , you cannot be saved.” :31 Through that storm, she found solace and strength in the ties that bind us to faith and the community. In sharing the five strategies that anchored me, we hope to offer you the same ropes of support that steadied my vessel. Our conversation is a testament to the blessings disguised in new beginnings and the transformative power of adversity, as we celebrate the shared journey of navigating tumult with trust and surrender. As our episode concludes, Cheryl and I reflect on the essence of church—beyond the physical structure to the heart of its community. We resonate with the biblical account of Jesus calming the storm, recognizing the power of unity and shared experiences within the body of Christ. I extend a prayerful thank you to Cheryl for her inspiring strength and invite our listeners to let the guidance of the Holy Spirit chart their daily course. Join us as we champion spiritual growth, the ripple effect of our stories, and the grace of encouragement in the EncouraHER Community.
