   Just One More Date

   As a teen, Martín Valcárcel was inspired by a song to look for a wife to whom he could give his heart, soul, and life. At Bible college, he thought he had found the one. But Linda wasn’t so sure. She thought they should only be friends. In God’s providence, Martín and Linda had already agreed to go together to a missions conference. It would be their last date. What happened there? Find out in this week’s episode of Pocketing God’s Promises. Martín Valcárcel’s autobiography, A Pilgrim Song, is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats.

   From Restlessness to Rest

His search for good employment kept him on the move, but there was more to his restlessness than merely earning money. How did he eventually find rest?

   When I Am Weak

   God used George Schmidt in Baviaanskloof, South Africa, to begin a work that still existed 48 years after his departure. Yet this man had health difficulties, a black mark on his Protestant score card, a rough personality, a few theological quirks, and frustrating circumstances beyond his control. How was it that God used him? Find out in this week’s episode of Pocketing God’s Promises.
