NIGHT OF HOPE

SONGS OF HOPE

Come experience songs of hope from Nashville singer/songwriters Channing Gillespie and Ross King.

This outdoor concert in the round will be on the beautiful Promise Manor lawn underneath the stars. Gathering around tables, with a food truck available, and after testimonies and a lecture to inform your mind, let the whole evening sink into your heart through these original songs of hope.

Channing Gillespie is the songwriter/worship leader in residence for Reason for Hope. He has performed his meaningful and hope-filled music at every event Reason for Hope has ever led. He writes extensively with other Nashville songwriters and leads worship at Belle Aire Baptist Church in Murfreesboro. His songs uplift, inspire, and are certain to draw your gaze to Jesus amidst whatever trial you may be enduring.

TESTIMONIES OF HOPE

Come be inspired by the testimony of a beloved woman from our community, Sonya Brown, as well as the testimony and teaching of Pastor Erik Reed.

Sonya experienced many losses in a very short amount of time, and it nearly broke her. Hear the testimony of this beloved wife and mother and how she learned to find joy again following such deep loss. A year after confronting her grief she now even leads her own grief recovery group!

Erik knows what it is to lament, having experienced the loss of a child. He also knows what it is to have hope, knowing that God hears our cries and answers. Erik Reed is the Lead Pastor of The Journey Church in Lebanon, TN, a church he planted sixteen years ago. He also founded Knowing Jesus Ministries, a non-profit organization which exists to proclaim timeless truth for everyday life (www.kjmin.org). Erik is the author of Uncommon Trust: Learning to Trust God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense and Hold the Line: A Call for Christian Conviction in a Culture of Conformity. He is married to Katrina and has three children: Kaleb (who went to be with the Lord in 2019), Kaleigh Grace, and Kyra Piper.
