Hope—it’s something we all long for, yet at times, it can feel just out of reach. Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by fear or negativity, struggling to hold on to hope? Do you wonder how to cultivate a heart that leans into hope rather than despair?

In this conversation, Stacey Thacker and Angie Elkins dive deep into the topic of hope and its essential role in our faith. They remind us that as Christians, we are called to be people of hope, refusing to let fear overshadow the promises of God. Together, they discuss how we can build a habit of hope through spiritual disciplines, surrounding ourselves with hopeful people, and reflecting on God’s past faithfulness. They also explore the healing power of hope and how it meets us right in the middle of life’s messiest moments.

If you’ve been feeling weary, discouraged, or uncertain about the future, this episode will remind you that hope is not just wishful thinking—it’s a choice, a habit, and most importantly, a gift found in Jesus. Let’s lean into hope together.
