 Hopeful is often a common term used to describe the followers of Jesus. No matter the situation or life circumstances, Christians are often the ones who view the world with a hope-filled outlook. But could it be that we are just really optimistic? What is hope anyway? Where does it come from? And, Why is it so central to the Christian life? In today's episode, we explore the theme of Hope, as we are joined by a special guest, Erin Garcia!Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:If:GatheringSouthland Disciple NowA21 - Human Trafficking Awareness and SupportEnd It Movement

In this follow-up to our last episode, we continue our conversation on ministry and calling. Last week we discussed women in ministry, as we talked about this topic we kept coming back to calling. As Christians, we are all called to minister no matter what our occupation. So how do we teach this in our families and encourage this mindset with our children? Join us as we explore ways we can all better understand our calling from God.Links and resources mentioned in the Podcast:Miracles for Mel (Go Fund Me page but is kept up to date)Work as WorshipWomen Who Risk BookSheep Among Wolves Documentary

In this two-part episode, we discuss and highlight the important roles that women have taken to support the local Church, even in positions of leadership, *GASP!* On today's episode, we are joined by a guest, Jill Fulghum. Jill was in full-time ministry for 38 years and was on staff here at Southland for 30 years.  She served in a variety of roles within churches across our state; and has witnessed changes in the culture through her years of service.  We are excited to have her perspective and insight on this topic. This episode is Jill's interview. Next week we will dive into details of women in ministry and the role God's calling plays in our lives. 

Often with the start of the New Year come New Year Resolutions. A common one amongst Christians is to read through the Bible in a year. This is an incredible task to undertake that also can seem quite daunting. In this episode, we discuss why it is important to read the Bible and provide some tools and tips to help us in understanding God’s Word.
