    Making Sense of Defining Moments in Our Life

    Send us Fan Mail There are moments in life that become permanent landmarks in our story. Some arrive with celebration and joy. Others come through sorrow, uncertainty, or fear. We remember what happened, where we were, and how life changed afterward. Yet we also remember the people who were there. We remember who celebrated with us, prayed for us, sat beside us, and helped us take the next step. Their presence became part of the moment and part of the hope we carried forward. Today on Our Journey to Hope, we will reflect on the defining moments that have shaped our lives, the people who shared them with us, and how God can use those experiences to strengthen our hope and prepare us to bring hope to someone else.

    Communitas - A Powerful Connection With Others

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, I explore communitas, the deep bond that forms between people who walk through difficult experiences together. Through Scripture and a personal story of friendship, cancer, prayer, and shared tears, we discover the strength found in faithful presence. Some roads are difficult, but no one has to walk them alone.

    Hope and a Vision for Life

    Send us Fan Mail Hope helps us believe tomorrow can be different, while vision gives that hope direction. In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, I explore how prayerful reflection, courage, and one purposeful step can move us forward, even when the road ahead is unclear. We may not see the entire path, but with God’s wisdom and the hope He provides, we can take the next step.

    Come and See! A Short But Powerful Invitation

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the most powerful invitations are the simplest. In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, we explore three words that have echoed through the story of Jesus: “Come and see.” From the first disciples to the empty tomb, this invitation points us toward the One who gives us hope. And today, our lives can extend that same invitation as others see what Christ can do in ordinary people walking through difficult times with hope.

    Location, Location, Location

    Send us Fan Mail Location matters. We’ll pay a premium for a better seat at a ball game or concert because there’s something special about being close. But what about the location of our heart? In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, we explore how drawing near to God changes our perspective, strengthens our hope, and helps us see life’s challenges in the presence of the One who is greater than them.

    The Problem With Comparisons

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, we explore how comparing our health, success, families, finances, or circumstances with others can quietly drain away our hope. The problem is often the measuring stick. We know our own struggles from the inside while seeing only the outside of someone else’s life.  Hope doesn’t require us to be doing better than someone else. Instead of looking around to see who is ahead, perhaps we need to look at where we are, recognize what God has placed in our hands, and take the next faithful step.

    When Hope Gives Courage a Voice

    Send us Fan Mail Hope and courage are closely connected. Hope reminds us there is still something ahead, while courage helps us take the next step toward it. In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, we explore how even a small amount of hope can give us the courage to keep moving when life feels uncertain or difficult. We may not need courage for everything tomorrow holds. We simply need enough hope to take the next step today.

    Flat Tires and Flat Faith

    Send us Fan Mail One of the realities of life is that every journey encounters unexpected interruptions. Sometimes it's a traffic jam. Sometimes it's bad weather. Sometimes it's something much simpler, yet just as frustrating—a flat tire. Anyone who has traveled very far has probably experienced one. You're making good progress when suddenly the vehicle begins pulling to one side. The ride changes. Before long you're parked on the shoulder examining a tire that's lost its air. Flat tires are part of traveling. Spiritually speaking, something similar can happen in our walk with Christ. But those moments don't mean we should give up on hope.  In this episode I look at some ways to help us regain our faith, and regain our hope.
