Meet Me in Isaiah

Meet Sandi York, a bloodline Jewish believer in Jesus as her Messiah! Sandi's story has lots of twists and turns which remind us of God's relentless pursuit of us!"Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you.For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him. For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as He hears it, He answers you. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide Himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher." Isaiah 30:18-20There was a special moment when Sandi cried out for mercy and God rushed in to help her - just like these verses in Isaiah 30 describe. Sandi, who discovered the deep love of Jesus, now has the privilege of sharing Him with others through the Hebrew book of Song of Solomon!You can connect with Sandi on Instagram: @sandi_york_ A special thank you to Project of Love for the beautiful music in this episode!

Meet Cecilia McGaw, author of Fighting for Identity: The True Story of How an Undocumented Young Girl Found Genuine Belonging. Cecilia shares with us how God uprooted lies from her childhood and replaced them with His truth which changed everything. Her book says it best on page 10: "It is only through the power of God and His Word that I have learned to battle against the lies I believed. It's because of God's grace that I am able to revisit the deep waters of my childhood memories....I've come to learn that the inadequacies I felt for most of my life have nothing to do with my worth and everything to do with not having a full understanding of who I was created to be and the goodness of my Creator."Cecilia met Jesus in Isaiah 55:8 - 9:"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." (KJV)A special thank you to Lauren Burns with the Redeemed Podcast who connected me with Cecilia.

Special guest, Lauren Burns, host of Redeemed Podcast, shares her story of being kidnapped by her father at age 7 and taken to Jordan. In 1993, NBC made a movie about her childhood called Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story. You will be on the edge of your seat hearing Lauren tell this action packed and emotional story of her miraculous rescue that only God could orchestrate. "But Zion said, 'The LORD has forsaken me and the LORD has forgotten me.' Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me." Isaiah 49:14-16 Lauren's story so beautifully illustrates God's enormous love for us all that He gave everything to rescue us.
