Easter Episode: Redeeming Love by Anne Steele

“We have to build a new vision for what life will be going forward - grieving what isn’t anymore, and building A NEW vision…” Sarah Broady talks with Jonathan and Sarah McGuire about their ministry organization, Hope Anew, and the new online community that launches October 1, 2019. They share their story as autism parents, the isolation they experienced, the drought of rest Sarah went through, and how their family coped and handled those struggles. Through everything, they’ve created a ministry to parents of children with unique needs and disability in their writing, speaking, podcasting, and are launching A NEW ministry specific to creating community. I’m so excited to introduce the McGuires to you if you don’t know them already, and I highly encourage you to check out the incredible resources on their website, <a href="http://hopeanew.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Hope Anew</a>.
