Hope and Reason Podcast Elise Hurd and Becky Keife

No matter how fast or full life is - you are not forgotten.

You are seen.

You matter.

And the things you care about may not feel like they matter to anyone else... but they matter to God.



Tune in to be encouraged by simple stories of how intentional God is to let you know He sees you, He cares about you, He is aware of what is going on with you.



Not only in your life circumstances but also in your heart and mind.



Remember: you are so, so loved.

Is God calling you to make a significant change?

If you let it, fear will hold you back from the life God has for you.

But if you let Him, the Truth will set you free and give you the courage to follow through what you know you are called to do.

In the midst of cringe-worthy church stuff, loud and opinionated cancel culture, and the reality of your own imperfections... what hope do you have in Jesus?

Tune in to be encouraged and re-focused on the unstoppable goodness of God.

Remember: YOU are so, so loved.

Do you ever wake up feeling like you're already drowning? Like before your day has even began, you are doomed to defeat?

If you are raising both hands and nodding a tired nod -- you're not alone, friend!

If your unspoken question is:

"What do I do when what I have to give is not enough for what is needed?"

Then take a deep breath - and tune in.

The very real Hope in this story is for you.



Remember: you are so, so loved.
