Anchored Beyond the Storm: Hope That Holds and Truth That Guides

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Farmer guides us through the deep waters of Hebrews 6:13–20 in The First Pour, reminding us that God's promises are not subject to the shifting winds of life. With a powerful personal story from a stormy boat ride in the Dominican Republic, he paints a picture of what it means to have an anchor cast beyond the veil—secured in Christ, even as the seas rage around us. Jesus, our High Priest and forerunner, has made the harbor of heaven our place of refuge and calm.

In The House Brew, we celebrate members of the Berean Baptist Academy community—Alumni Fernando Medina, Michael West, and Kayleigh Vrazel, and current 4th grader Corrina. We also give a friendly reminder that Vacation Bible School begins Tuesday. Community, celebration, and preparation all brew together in this midweek moment of reflection and joy.

In One Last Cup, we pause over a popular Jesus-focused social media post—full of phrases like, “Focus on Jesus, not the storm,” and “Trust Him—He’s got you.” It sounds good, but is it just soothing sentiment, or solid theology? We evaluate its claims through the lens of Scripture, exploring how biblical encouragement doesn’t just lift the mood—it anchors the soul.
