Perfectly Positioned: Finding Hope After Hurricane Helene | Brennen Oakley

Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on September 26, 2024, causing catastrophic flooding and widespread damage throughout the southeastern United States. The storm resulted in over 200 deaths and destroyed entire towns and communities due to unprecedented flooding, particularly in Western North Carolina and across the southern Appalachians.

In this episode, I talk with Brennen Oakley about firsthand stories with people in Asheville, many who have lost everything. We discuss how it's possible to have hope in the middle of tragedy, and how the local church is displaying the love of Christ. We dive into what it means to be "perfectly positioned" for purpose—even in seasons of hardship—and how the Lord uses each of us right where we are to make an impact.
