" When you're hurting, you're looking for more than a whisper of hope - you want to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that your world is not splitting apart at the seams or spinning off into nightmarish chaos. You want hope, large and lively enough to settle your soul. That's what Hope out Loud is all about - showing hurting families the rock solid reality of what the Bible says, 'the Blessed Hope'. Once you find it, you won't be disappointed.

"When Jesus said, 'out of you will flow streams of living water,' he made Jennifer a sparkling brook, filled to overflowing with His effervescent joy. Her life is such a stream of soul-satisfying encouragement to all those she meets, and I am pleased to call her my friend. To spend time with Jennifer and her family is to come away truly refreshed and inspired."

"We had the Barrick family share with our church in October of 2010. God so moved in that service.

"The power of the Holy Spirit is all over that family. God uses Linda, Jen, Andy and Josh to speak to the hearts of hurting people and fill them with hope as they turn their eyes to Jesus Christ, the miracle working God."
