When "Hope" Feels Cheap

05/05/20 • 32 min

These days have brought us plenty of hurt, fear, isolation and despair. Finding the hope in these circumstances can be SO hard. What do I do? How can I comfort friends? The trite Christian phrase can be to just “hope in the gospel.” Which is true, but left by itself isn’t helpful at all. This week, we dive into the dynamic, robust hope of the gospel and lay out how we can share hope with ourselves and others. How can we clearly see hope? - Don't assume the gospel - Use God's promises to fight despair - Cry out with God's help - Leave a legacy of hope What We're Loving Heather - IF: TV Daniel - Stainless Steel Ice Cubes SHARE which episodes you like on Social Media and see what we are up to behind the scenes!

Too Much Togetherness

Quarantine may have you feeling like there is too much “togetherness” with those you love the most. We’re feeling that too but we are also trying to redeem all this time together as a married couple. Today we are sharing how we are trying to serve one another, love and grow together in a time that is extra stressful. We hope if you have been married for a year or 50 you will be encouraged to pursue your spouse in fresh ways.
