    Ep. 44 | Would You Rather?- Wild Hope Summer Porch Conversations

    Ep. 44 | Would You Rather - Wild Hope Summer Porch Conversations Today we’re inviting you onto the porch with a glass of lemonade for a little something different. As part of our Wild Hope Summer Series, we’re stepping away from our usual conversations and making space for laughter, connection, and the simple joy of connecting hearts around the table. In this episode, Sunny and Tammy play a little game of “Would You Rather” and discover that what starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly opens the door to memories, stories, opinions, and even a few deeper thoughts about life, faith, and the seasons we’ve walked through. You’ll laugh with us, maybe find yourself answering along the way, and hopefully be inspired to gather your own people for a summer porch conversation. We’ve created a Would You Rather conversation starter download just for you! Use these questions with your spouse, friends, family, or even on a road trip. Sometimes the simplest questions lead to the best conversations. You can find the download in the show notes below and over on our Instagram page. So grab your people, pull up a chair, and make room for laughter, connection, and a little Wild Hope this summer.

    Ep 43. | How to Have a Wild Hope Summer No Matter What Season You’re In

    What if summer wasn't just a season on the calendar? In this short Hope Huddle On The Go, Sunny explores the idea that our lives move through seasons much like nature does. There are winters marked by loss, springs filled with new beginnings, falls of transition and change, and summers where life feels wide open and full of possibility. But what if it's possible to experience a little summer even in the middle of winter? What if wild hope can still grow in the wilderness? In this episode, Sunny shares encouragement for cultivating a Wild Hope Summer no matter what season you find yourself in. Together we'll talk about: Finding beauty in unexpected places • Choosing hope instead of cynicism • Leaning into God's presence in every season • Living with curiosity, wonder, and adventure • Why mindset matters more than circumstances sometimes do And because this is Sunny we're talking about, there may or may not be a few spontaneous songs along the way. Whether you're walking through a difficult season or enjoying a beautiful one, this episode is an invitation to look for the goodness of God, embrace the season you're in, and cultivate a life marked by wild hope. 💥 Subscribe, review, and invite others to listen in.    Facebook | Instagram 🌐 www.wildhoperising.com Buckle up.

    Ep. 42 | The Wilderness We Choose- God Waits to Be Gracious to You.

    Sometimes we choose the Wilderness.  Not necessarily because we love camping- but because we love chasing temporary pleasure.  The problem is, it never satisfies, and in fact leaves us hungering, thirsting, and longing for the next “hit” of release.   In this hope huddle with Sunny Cain, she speaks with authenticity, and urgency- reminding us where we can turn when “we just can’t” anymore. In a walkthrough of Isaiah 30, and a jump over to Ezekiel 34, she highlights the beauty of the God who longs to be gracious to us, even in our denial of him, in our refusal to return to quietness and rest, in our attempts to power through in our own strength with our own solutions. And God Longs to Be Gracious.  Let’s remember the God who waits on High to Be Gracious to Us- and we will see His goodness and mercy have followed us all of our days.  💥 Subscribe, review, and share with a friend who needs this conversation.    Facebook | Instagram 🌐 www.wildhoperising.com Buckle up.

    Ep. 40 | Sending Out an SOS- God Responds & The Clouds Advance

    Let’s live with more SOS and less, “I Got This!”   This week is a solo episode with encouragement from Sunny Cain speaking to the reality that as humans we often try to shoulder life alone.  More than self-help, or pulling up our bootstraps, sometimes a misunderstanding of who God is sits at the heart of it.   In this episode we talk about: What keeps us from crying out to God what we miss out on when we try to shoulder it alone. The reality that when we cry out to God- He Hears Us.  Strength of soul- how to access it.  Psalm 18  If you feel exhausted from shouldering it alone, if you realize you have been carrying a burden that is too heavy- this episode is for you. 💥 Subscribe, review, and share with a friend who needs this conversation.    Facebook | Instagram 🌐 www.wildhoperising.com Buckle up.

    Ep 38 | Why You Still Don’t Feel Good Enough: Breaking Free from Shame

    This week we are talking about something most women do not want to talk about—but almost every woman has felt: shame. It is the voice that says, “You are not enough,” “Who do you think you are?” or “You will always be a failure.” Shame does not tell us we made a mistake. It tells us we are the mistake. In this episode we talk about: • What shame is and how it differs from guilt • How shame shows up through perfectionism, people pleasing, hiding, and playing small • Why we can react defensively or spiral into negative self-talk • The difference between condemnation and conviction • How to spot shame, name it, and begin breaking free If you have ever felt like you are too much, not enough, or like you will never get it right, this conversation is for you. Because there is another sound available to us besides shame: the sound of chains falling, prison doors opening, and hope rising. Psalm 34:5 says, “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” 💥 Subscribe, review, and share with a friend who needs this conversation.    Facebook | Instagram 🌐 www.wildhoperising.com Buckle up.
