Life brings hurts that sometimes seem insurmountable. And in this series “Hope for the Hurting” our speaker this month Bob Russell has been sharing how we can find Hope when we are hurting, when we hunger, when we are blind, and even when we grieve.Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. Jesus promised, as recorded in the Bible's book of John chapter 4, that He had water to give that we would never thirst again. A water springing up to eternal life. Jesus offers that hope to those who will believe in Him. So; hurting, hungry, blind or grieving Jesus offers hope that is more than just for the moment, it is a hope that endures, an eternal hope… here's Bob Russell with hope that is realistic, hope that is reasonable, hope that is truly eternal.

Life brings hurts that sometimes seem insurmountable.

I think all of us can acknowledge that in life there are hurts that seem insurmountable. That pain can be a hunger for something deep within, a hurt that blinds you or overwhelming grief when you experience loss, even doubt can bring hurt that overwhelms. This month, our speaker, Bob Russell, is unpacking the “hope” that Jesus brings “to life” when our hurts seem insurmountable. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. There are some people who have 20-20 Vision but can see, can't grasp the spiritual; they are spiritually blind, and are in danger of living eternally in darkness. Jesus talked about people who had eyes, but could not see. So, let's hear what Jesus has to say about the parallels between physical and spiritual blindness because all of us could use a healing touch from Jesus.

So, have you ever stood in front of the fridge, hungry but can't put your finger on what you crave? Sometimes when the pain of life overwhelms us, we hunger for resolution but just can't find anything to feed that hunger, to resolve our pain.Sometimes what we hunger for is beyond the physical and can seem to be almost Spiritual? In today's message Bob shares how Jesus “gets us” when we can't find resolution to that kind of hunger, and He can help. So, here's Bob with four principles for identifying and feeding Spiritual Hunger… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!When conflict arises in your ministry, how do you respond? Tim Hester, Executive Pastor at Southeast Christian Church, offers a biblical framework for restoration that focuses on healing rather than punishment.Drawing from decades of experience shepherding both church staff and congregation members, Tim walks us through the delicate process of addressing sin and repairing broken relationships. The conversation provides practical wisdom on preparing your heart before difficult conversations, creating balanced environments where truth can emerge, and recognizing genuine transformation in those seeking restoration.Tim explains how youth ministers can discern when to handle situations themselves versus when to involve church leadership, always maintaining the goal of bringing people back into right relationship with God and others.Unlike harsh discipline approaches that often leave people damaged, true restoration recognizes the image of God in each person while still holding appropriate boundaries. Tim shares personal experiences that illustrate both the challenges and beauty of this process, including how one youth pastor's commitment to biblical discipleship transformed all twelve of his children's lives.For youth ministers navigating the inevitable conflicts that arise in ministry, this conversation offers hope that with prayer, biblical wisdom, and gentle persistence, restoration is possible. What's at stake isn't just resolving immediate problems, but teaching the next generation how to handle conflict in ways that honor God and preserve relationships.

All this month we have been unpacking the Bible's answers for coping with rising spiritual floodwaters. As we have considered how to NOT drown in these overwhelming waves in life, it does beg the question; what about suffering? Is it from God, is suffering the result of sin, is it just the natural consequence of our actions? Does God punish us? In today's message, Flood of Discipline, our teacher, Bob Russell, addresses this difficult subject. This month, our teacher, Bob Russell, has been unpacking how to deal with life when it gets overwhelming, much like the crush of Rising Spiritual Floodwaters. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as Southeast became one of the largest churches in America. Today, Bob couples a wayward, rebellious prophet from the Old Testament of the Bible with a passage from the Bible's New Testament to help us wrap our minds around suffering and how to face it. So, here's Bob to help us see the Flood of Discipline through Spiritual 3-D glasses. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

This week our speaker is Bob Russell., This message is one shared by Bob during his 40-year ministry with Southeast Christian Church. Southeast, one of the largest churches in America is located in Louisville, Kentucky. This week's message; The Grace of Gratitude is a fitting conclusion to our series ReImaged.

So, as we celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving, here's Bob Russell with a recipe for gratitude that can be, well, life changing!

In the motion picture 'Ordinary Angels,' Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank portrays Sharon Evans, a hair dresser in a small town who works miracles to help a little girl named Michelle get a liver transplant. Sharon and Ashley Schmitt, Michelle's older sister join Paul to talk about the film on the 89th episode of The Paul Cardall Podcast. Not included in the film is Ashley's own journey getting a double organ transplant like her sister Michelle. Both Sharon and Ashely share additional experiences that are also not in the film.  READ THE BOOK https://encouragepublishing.com/ordinary-angels SEE THE MOVIEhttps://ordinaryangels.movie/ STORY BEHIND THE FILMMichelle Schmitt was known in Louisville, Kentucky as the “snow baby.” The Schmitts waited for over two years for a liver transplant for Michelle, who was battling congenital liver disease. She was born with biliary atresia, the same condition as her sister Ashley. They finally got the long-awaited call on January 17, 1994, when Michelle was three years old and barely 22 pounds. A liver was available, but it was in Omaha, Nebraska. And it was in the middle of a snowstorm.  And not just any snowstorm. This was the 1994 Kentucky Blizzard, where temperatures dropped to a record-breaking 22 degrees below zero. There were 16 inches of snow on the ground. Driving would be impossible. Highways were buried and completely shut down. Organs for transplant don't last long outside a body, so there was a short window of time to get Michelle to Omaha for the procedure. This real-life story of a community rallying around a young child is the basis for ORDINARY ANGELS. The film primarily follows hairdresser Sharon, who led the charge in moving the community and re-discovered purpose in her life by fighting for little Michelle. Before the storm hit, Sharon had secured a private plane to take Michelle to Omaha whenever the transplant would be ready. The plan was to drive Michelle to Indiana for the private jet to take her the rest of the way—but now in blizzard conditions, that would be impossible. Sharon immediately called the local radio station and requested that broadcasters ask for help. Suddenly, neighbors called in suggesting they clear the parking lot at Southeast Christian Church to create a makeshift helicopter pad. People took to the streets with their snowsuits and shovels and garden spades—whatever they had available. The Schmitts arrived just in time: grandmother Barbara, father Ed, Michelle, and her older sister Ashley, who'd also undergone the same transplant surgery years before.  In a remarkable true story of community care and selflessness, Michelle Schmitt made it safely to Omaha during the storm and successfully received her transplant. She lived to be 30 years old and had a healthy life until she passed away in the spring of 2021. ABOUT OUR HOSTPaul Cardall, an acclaimed Dove Award-winning musician, composer, and producer, is renowned for his music that acts as a conduit to tranquility and spiritual introspection. Boasting over 3 billion lifetime streams, 11 No. 1 Billboard albums, and recognition as one of the world's premier pianists by Steinway & Sons, Paul's diverse repertoire spans Classical, Christian, and New Age genres. His extraordinary journey includes overcoming health challenges, notably being born with half a heart and undergoing a life-saving heart transplant in 2009. Inspired by his experiences, Paul has dedicated his life's mission to crafting healing piano music that resonates physically and emotionally. Beyond his musical accomplishments, he actively engages in philanthropy, collaborating with organizations such as The Ryan Seacrest Foundation and supporting causes like the fight against human trafficking. His album, "Return Home," showcases 13 improvisational piano pieces, a departure from his usual compositional approach. It invites listeners on a cinematic voyage through the landscapes of his European heritage. The album, inspired by his deep connection with his wife Tina and their journey through her family's homeland in Slovenia, underscores the power of music to connect us to our past. It serves as a testament to Paul Cardall's enduring impact as an artist and empathetic soul. WEBSITE: http://www.paulcardall.comINSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/paulcardallFACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusicYOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/cardall  Show your support by subscribing to the podcast.

While the release of the film, "Ordinary Angels" might bring some extra notoriety to his life, there has always been more to Dave Stone than meets the eye. A pastor at Louisville's Southeast Christian Church for three decades, Dave is first and foremost a man of God, a husband, and a dad. So, he understands the challenges men and fathers are facing today. And he still has a passion for helping men experience all that God has for them.   Watch Ordinary Angels
