Our Journey to Hope
We all have the potential to have our hope challenged by life events, or we know someone whose hope is currently being challenged. I invite you to explore this critical topic with us and please, share this with others. Our goal is to strengthen our own hope while helping others discover, sustain, or regain hope. Remember, no one walks alone. The opinions expressed by guests on this podcast do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the host. Guests are encouraged to express their opinions and insights freely in the interest of providing understanding and encouragement to others.

Life is full on concepts that don't seem to be connected. Perhaps they even appear to be opposites. I am presenting a series of concpets that are like that. They seem the opposite of hope. Perhaps they even look to destroy hope. But I want to show how sometimes they are connected.
In this episode I look at how anxiety and hope are related, even entertwined.
Everyone has a story to share and that is worth listening to. For most, the trials they experienced in early life certainly impact the kind of person they mature into. Tragically for some, it causes them to experience ongoing pain in adult life and clouds their view of the future.
Not so with my guest today. Jessica experienced tragic events and ongoing challenges throughout her early life and early development, she ov...

One of the joys of hosting this podcast channel is that I meet incredible people with great insights into the concept of hope.

That is important since hope permeates through all aspects of our life.
In this episode I’m speaking with Lance Mosher who has had his hope c...
I enjoy finding connections or links between different concepts. I especially like to do so in scripture. I will be reviewing a passage, perhaps in God's old law and then recall or discover a connection to it in the teachings of Jesus or the apostles. This helps prove the inspiration of scripture and keeps it alive in our world today.
In this episode I look at such a connection as I explore the relationship bet...

Most of us don’t think about the need for funeral services until there is a death of someone. We also may not see a connection between a funeral service and hope. It is counter-intuitive to put death and hope together. Yet those who serve during the end of life activities, including funeral service directors do impact hope in survivors. They help form a foundation upon which others move on into the future of their...
Friends, please forgive me for replaying an episode from 2023. I feel that as the season of holidays centering on family and hope that it is fitting to revisit this episode.

Please listen and share with someone who is facing c...
