Wildly Hopeful with Brandy Dawson

Brandy Dawson

Ever feel like life just gets hard and MESSY sometimes? Because, girl - ME TOO. Life doesn't always go according to plan. Dreams take longer than we expected. Prayers go unanswered. People leave. Bodies break. Faith gets complicated. And somewhere along the way, many of us start believing that hope is waiting on the other side. On the other side of healing. On the other side of the breakthrough. On the other side of finally getting where we thought we'd be. But what if hope isn't waiting there? What if it's right here? Welcome to the Wildly Hopeful Podcast. This is a space for the woman living in the middle. And here, we have wildly hopeful chats about everyday life and everything in between. Not where you started. Not where you thought you'd be. Not quite where you're headed. Just here. In the tension. In the waiting. In the questions. In the becoming. In the fun. In the grief. And in the mundane. Each week, we'll have honest and sometimes spicy conversations about faith, grief, purpose, healing, disappointment, joy, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when life doesn't unfold the way we planned. Because this isn't a podcast for women who have it all figured out. It's for women learning that God's presence is not reserved for the finished story. It's for women discovering that even in the wilderness, there is still beauty. Even in the waiting, there is still purpose. Even in the ache, there is still grace. And even here, there is still hope. So whether you're holding onto a promise, walking through a season you never would have chosen, or simply trying to find God in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life, pull up a chair. You're not alone here. Because hope isn't waiting on the other side. It's right here. And somehow, that's where Jesus has been all along. I'm Brandy. And this is the Wildly Hopeful Podcast. https://www.brandyadawson.com/

    Am I Doing This Right, God? Talking About Abiding with Jeanine Amapola Ward |Episode 61

    You finally feel like you have time to sit down with your Bible. The coffee is warm. You have every intention of spending time with Jesus and... Then you remember the laundry. A text comes through. Somebody needs something. And somehow, you're thinking about dinner while reading the Bread of Life. You want to know Him more, but does being still really feel this complicated? This week on Wildly Hopeful, Brandy Dawson welcomes author, Toutuber, and Happy & Healthy podcast host Jeanine Amapola Ward for a conversation about abiding when your mind has seventeen tabs open and your life refuses to quiet down.  This is an honest look at how easily we turn our relationship with God into one more place to prove we are doing enough. With her devotional, The Abiding Way: A 40-Day Devotional Study Through The Gospel of John, Jeanine invites us to spend the time getting to know Jesus. The One Who calls us to follow Him. Who meets shame with an invitation to into the light. Who weeps with grieving friends, even knowing resurrection is coming.  And we make room for questions, too.  For the Martha who would love to sit with Mary but wondering who is going to clean up the kitchen, pull up a chair.  To Connect with Jeanine: Explore Jeanine's books + podcast: JeanineAmapola.com Instagram: @JeanineAmapola Listen to Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola Ward wherever you get your podcasts LET'S KEEP TALKING To inquire about being a guest on Wildly Hopeful, invite Brandy to be a guest on your podcast, or to speak: hell@brandyadawson.com Website + Blog: brandyadawson.com Instagram:@brandyadawson Substack: Musings of a Wildly Hopeful Podcast: Follow or subscribe to Wildly Hopeful wherever you listen or watch.
