Welcome To Anchor Talk Welcome To Anchor Talk Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:30:00 +0000 I have been talking about starting a Podcast since the idea to write my first non fiction book took root. My book In the Dark: Confident Expectations for Today and Tommorrow is the bedrock for this podcast and my ministry.

The purpose journey of life is not a sprint but a marathon. During life's journey of purpose you are bound to be met with various obstacles. My passion is to champion you through the uncertainty, the discomfort, the pain and fear especially when you have no idea what God's end game is.

In this episode, you'll be able to listen to the story behind this theme, share in the story of the Bible's most prominent ship wreck and leave equipped with Anchor Scripture to keep you steady until we talk again.

I intended "Anchor Talk "to be an intimate conversation between you and me. A place where our vulnerabilities, insecurities and everlasting hope in God lay bare.
