Do You Want Hope — or Do You Really Want Hope?

In this powerful and practical episode, we dive deep into the meaning of real hope. Is hope just wishful thinking—or is it something more secure, more active, more anchored in truth? We discuss the Biblical foundation of hope, its connection to faith, and how unbelief creeps in when we start to doubt God’s promises.

With heartfelt stories, laughs about Christmas trees in May, and hard truths about enduring spiritual battles, this episode is a lifeline for anyone feeling weary, discouraged, or ready to give up. Discover the difference between saying "I want hope" and actually gripping the cord that ties you to God’s promises.

Do you have the want-to? This one’s for you.
