Finding Joy In Every Season - Interview with Bobbie Cox

Show notes

About This Episode Bobbie Cox has been widowed twice, yet her joy is contagious. At 69, she is the founder of Branch to Hope, a discipleship ministry born from a 1:11 moment during the pandemic that led her to start texting daily Scriptures. That grew into an app with prayer alarms at repeating times like 1:11 and 2:22, and a color of the day system that assigns a color to each of the nine fruits of the Spirit. Bobbie shares stories of a homeschool family and an 80-year-old advisor changed by the color bracelets, how she treats Jesus as her literal companion, even keeping the passenger seat for her Bible, and why forgiving yourself matters. Her encouragement: stop resisting and stay on the Potter's wheel.
