Strength for the Journey
Spiritual encouragement and devotional thoughts, while pointing you to God’s Word.
Tricia (Trish) Hicks is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She is also a writer, speaker, singer, professional editor, and alumna of Liberty University. After many years of church ministry alongside her husband, Don, Trish brings her experience, knowledge, and wisdom to help and encourage others in their journey of faith. This podcast will include spiritual encouragement and devotional thoughts, while pointing you to God’s Word.
From Trish’s heart: “There have been many times through the years when I needed to hear a voice of encouragement to give me the strength to make it through the day. When my children were small, a faith-based radio program was so helpful to me, and now we are in the culture of podcasts. I hope that these podcasts encourage and strengthen you in your journey of life and faith.”
I Thessalonians 5:11: “Therefore encourage one other and build each other up as you are already doing (CSB).”
