Trailer: Introduction to Your Hope Coach Podcast

Welcome to Your Hope Coach Podcast. I'm Carmen Horne, your host, and your Hope Coach.
Do you struggle with seeing God's presence in your life day-to-day? If you do, you've landed in the right place.
Our conversations will focus on recognizing God's grace and mercy. We'll talk about practical ways to build our trust in God by noticing His faithfulness.
We will have two episodes a month, and they will drop on Thursdays. One episode will be me flying solo, and one will be with my co-host, Kristine Brown. Kristine is my friend, a Bible teacher, and a writer. Together we will intersect hope, friendship, and lasting faith.
I sure hope you will join us for a few minutes of hope in a world that wants us to feel hopeless.
