Welcome to A Burst of Hope! In this journey together, Martha and Kim explore the transformative path of Jesus' footprints toward the cross. From Calvary to the empty tomb, Jesus' footprints mark a trail of redemption that beckons us to follow. As we put our feet into His footprints, we have the resurrection power to follow Him all the way home.

Here's a link to Jill Briscoe's poem, All The Way Home

We pray you have a blessed Easter week!!

Welcome to A Burst Of Hope. In this Holy Week series, Kim shines a spotlight on the Upper Room, where Jesus washed his disciples' feet. Christ laid aside his outer garment, became a humble servant, and bent down low to wash dirty feet. Not only does Jesus demonstrate our need to let Him wash our feet, but in the final days of his life on earth, he tells his disciples and us to do as he did—wash each other's feet. Join us at the table as we reflect on our Servant King.

Hello Friends! Welcome to today's episode, where Martha Wilson explores one of the most profound acts of worship recorded in scripture. Just days before Jesus would face the cross, Mary of Bethany broke open an alabaster jar of pure nard—perfume worth an entire year's wages—and lavishly poured it over Jesus' feet. This extravagant gesture wasn't just a beautiful moment; it was prophetic, preparing Jesus for burial even as others around her questioned the wastefulness of her sacrifice. In today's conversation, Martha unpacks the significance of Mary's costly offering, examining what true devotion looks like when we hold nothing back from our Savior. What compels someone to pour out everything in worship? And as we approach Easter, what might we learn from Mary about preparing our hearts for the ultimate sacrifice Jesus would soon make?
