Valleys of Life
The "Valleys of Life" podcast will take you on a journey through the ups and downs of life. Each episode is a ray of hope that illuminates our path as we tread through the darkest valleys of our lives. In this podcast, we will examine how our lives can be nurtured even through the struggles and trials we encounter, how our character can develop and strengthen even in our lowest and darkest moments in life, and how we can thrive as we navigate through our valleys of life and yield the fruits of a well-lived life.
Billy Graham once said that "Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys." We therefore strongly believe that just as there is growth in the valleys of nature, there is also growth in the valleys of life, and “the God of the mountain is still God in the valley; the God of the good times is still God in the bad times; and the God of the day is still God in the night." Our God is the "God our Maker who gives songs in the night" (Job 35:10) and he can enable us to be joyful and sing even in the midst of our affliction, as Paul and Silas did in the jail at Philippi in Acts 16. God, our Maker, can also give us the grace to rejoice even when life imprisons us or leads us like captives through the valleys of life, as Paul did in the joyful epistle to the Philippians that he wrote while in prison.
This podcast is like a compassionate friend that walks with you through the valleys of life with guiding light while offering support and providing hope and encouragement during difficult times of trials, testing, and suffering that we usually face.
Join us as we navigate life's ups and downs together, finding hope and inspiration along the way.

Trusting God in Troubled Times — Part 2
Have you ever found yourself placing your faith in faith itself, instead of God? Have you ever seen prayer as a vending machine for your desires? We've all been there. In this thought-provoking discussion, we unravel the intricate relationship between faith and God, emphasizing that faith should not be the power that controls God but should anchor us in Him.
We take you on a journey through Biblical passages, shedding light on the assurance and submission that Biblical faith provides in times of adversity. You'll hear about the inspiring life of Christian athlete Brian Steinberg, who, despite a life-changing accident, found solace by completely trusting in God's plan. This isn't a story of miraculous healing, rather, it's a testament to the peace and strength that comes from unwavering trust.
Finally, we explore how to find joy in your darkest hours. By examining narratives of people like Horatius Perford and the martyrs, we show how it's possible to trust in God's promises, find joy, and praise Him even in the face of adversity. Remember, God is the one who gives songs in the night. No matter what trials you're facing, we hope this episode inspires you to trust in Him and rejoice in His goodness.
