Mornings with Eric and Brigitte
September 04, 2023
Hour 1: All Who Are Weary - with Sarah J. Hauser
At times, life feels hard, chaotic, or just mind-numbingly ordinary. But what if we could exchange that heavy dread and disquiet for a peace that passes understanding? On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, writer and speaker, Sarah J. Hauser believes that while our outward lives are falling apart, our inner lives can grow stronger. Her new book, All Who are Weary was born out of Sarah’s own story—her depression, grief, and tears. Sarah invites us to join her in bringing our heavy burdens to Jesus and taking the light burden He offers instead.
Hour 2: Grandparents Day: How Are You Investing In the Lives of Your Grandchildren? - with David Wheeler
There are approximately 30 million grandparents in the U.S. Each one is a potential influence in the lives of their grandchildren. On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, David Wheeler from Legacy Coalition joins us to share how their organization is encouraging churches to minister to grandparents as they encourage and influence their grandchildren. Their desire is for grand-parents to invest in the lives of their grandchildren and to help them through resources, training and other methods to have a greater spiritual impact on their families.

Hour 3: Inviting God's Presence In Our Work - with Russ Gehrlein
How many of us strive to be close to God no matter where we are, including at work? If our prayer life is strong, we can speak to God every time we need to ask for help, to know his will in moments of uncertainty, and to do whatever he wants us to do in a way that pleases him. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Russ Gehrlein studied the spiritual leadership of Nehemiah, finding that this man of God remained close to God in prayer and was able to sense when God was leading him, whether it was something great or small. Nehemiah sought the Lord daily, and He acted on God’s promises to lead him (Ps. 32:8).
