Did you know that there are over 300 prophecies pointing to Jesus in the Old Testament? These prophecies in the Old Testament remind us that God keeps His promises. Today, our host, Bethany Sibbitt, is joined by guest, Kelly Carraher, to reflect on God’s faithfulness— specifically through His prophecy of restoration found in the book of Isaiah. Join us in listening to this encouraging conversation on the truth of the Lord’s heart for the broken. 


Kelly wants to live in a world where we love our neighbors well. When she’s not working, you can find her hanging out with her family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, reading, or playing card games. She believes “all of Scripture as it is life giving!” Her life verse is John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
