Power Through Weakness.

Is that possible?

Hey, welcome. It's another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Hallead,

who called us to live to a higher standard, not satisfied with just a little shallow religion in life,

as a substitute for giving God our best.

As our series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family, friends, and others,

all influenced by Elizabeth's life and message.

Today, we begin a five-part look at Power Through Weakness.

Our first program, A Life Hidden in Christ.

And later, my hope is built on nothing less. It sounds like an old hymn, doesn't it?

We'll also be hearing from Elizabeth's younger brother, Jim Howard.

And he tells us what people might be surprised to know about Elizabeth.

And as we think about Power Through Weakness, in what way did Elizabeth show strength?

Elizabeth's daughter, Valerie, also joins us today, as she talks about adjusting to life in the US.

Change can be a difficult thing. It can remind us of our own weakness.

Was it difficult for her to hear about that later?

Right now, though, a life hidden in Christ.

You are loved with an everlasting love. That's what the Bible says,

and underneath are the everlasting arms. This is your friend, Elizabeth Elliot, talking with you

today about Power Through Weakness. You feeling weak today? Do you know that lovely hymn,

which comes from this passage in Jeremiah 31-3? We are loved, the Bible tells us,

with an everlasting love. Let me read it to you directly from the Bible.
