"A storm left us stranded at a gas station overnight without power or service. Through prayer, humor, and community, we found resilience, faith, and solace amid the chaos. Do you know what it’s like to have the peace that surpasses all understanding?"
What do you do when a storm leaves you stranded in an unfamiliar place, with no power or cell service? Join us on Plays on Word Radio as we recount our unexpected 31-hour journey, reminiscent of biblical travels, that started at a Marathon gas station. Encountering a starlit sky and an eclectic mix of fellow travelers, we discovered solace in prayer and the kindness of strangers. Through humor and shared stories, we navigated the night’s uncertainties and found strength in a small, supportive community amidst the chaos. This episode captures the heart of resilience, faith, and the unexpected beauty found in challenging times.
As the storm's impact unfolded, we hear of remarkable individuals like young Micah, whose steadfast faith became a guiding light in moments of peril. The journey also revealed the heavy toll of tragedy, especially in Asheville, NC, where lives were lost and families devastated. We reflect on the power of prayer and community support, with a special call to remember families, like the Drye family, experiencing unimaginable loss. As we share their stories, we extend our gratitude to our listeners for their continued prayers and support, hoping to offer a touch of peace and encouragement to those who need it most.
