Hard Times & Heavenly Peace with Jim Gillespie, Executive Director KC, I Am Second

After marrying his teenage sweet heart and having two children by their early 20's, Jim Gillespie and his wife reached a crisis point of differences which led to divorce. Later, he and his wife were able to renew their love and remarry but that wasn't the end of their struggles. Jim pursued careers in several lucrative businesses only to end up bankrupted and jobless on more than one occasion.  Together, they faced enormous medical problems fighting diabetes and breast cancer.  The toll this took on them physically, emotionally, and financially was exhausting.   Most people dealing with these mountain-sized battles would have thrown in the towel long ago. What was it that enabled Jim to push through and come out stronger and with a greater sense of peace now more than ever? Jim answers those questions in today's podcast. Jim serves in many capacities but is Kansas City's Executive Director for I Am Second, a web-based resource to share the love of Jesus through celebrity testimony. Are you carrying heavy burdens today?  Are you searching for peace in the midst of a storm? God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.  All we must do is place our trust in his Son Jesus Christ and you too will discover the grace of God, even in the midst of difficulties.
