Welcome to Hope Talks. We are so glad you have joined us. Hope Talks, a ministry of Church of the Nazarene, in Harrisonburg, VA. Our mission is to be transformed by God to bring hope to others through Christ. Our desire is to bring stories of hope to encourage you on your journey. In Revelation 12:11 we read these words, “And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." This is a foundational passage for the program as we provide a space for believers to share stories/testimonies of God’s amazing grace in their lives. We pray this will be a half hour of hope for your life. Hope Talks airs every Sunday at noon on 1470 AM and 102.1 FM WBTX.
