What Happens When We Ask: What Could Be Next?

Hello Listeners! After meaningful conversations exploring faith and hope through countless stories, we're taking an intentional pause to listen for God's next invitation. Throughout our podcast journey, we've witnessed the power of storytelling to build connections, strengthen faith, and remind us that we're never alone in our spiritual walks. Your generous participation as both guests and listeners has created a vibrant space where faith experiences are shared, celebrated, and cherished. These conversations have sparked an important question that we're now pursuing with intention: what could be next? All your favorite episodes remain available to revisit and share with friends who might need encouragement.

47: Monday School: What is a Methodist? An Invitation to Grace

Every once in a while we do an episode on the podcast we call "Monday School" where we dig deeper into the what's, how's, and why's for different aspects of faith and hope. Since HOPE is part of the United Methodist Church we thought we'd take an episode to talk about - what exactly does that mean? After some brief background, Pastors Jeff and Rick turn their focus to one word that could explain it all - grace. How does the practice of grace impact and influence all that HOPE does as well as for each of us in our individual faiths?
