The Hope We Hold Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger Vuolo

We can easily “over spiritualize” our lives and try to be more spiritual than Jesus! He saw the need for physical rest even when legitimate ministry opportunities abounded. We can so quickly overwork ourselves and neglect our loved ones - sometimes even our own relationship with God! - in the name of GOOD work. Don’t neglect the necessary things for good things. That might look like taking time away from all those great activities to be with the ones you care about! Taking a minute to recharge, to slow down, to be reacquainted with your loved ones.

Anxiety is found everywhere in today's world! We have so much constantly on our minds, and this year has certainly brought an extra amount of fear and stress. A pandemic, job safety, health, relationships, politics, what do we do with the overwhelming emotions that come along with all of that? You can walk without fear, in fact we can face our stress and anxiety together with the power and confidence found in Christ Jesus! How do we do that? Tune in to this episode to find out more!

Christian generosity is a spiritual gift, and it’s not just about giving people money! Time, energy, counsel, prayers, and the list goes on, generous people don’t only give when asked or demanded. How can you grow in generosity? Here are a few ways to increasingly reflect Christ’s generosity in your own life.

Hospitality is more than simply having guests over to your house. People will know if you really care about them, and hospitality is about showing people love. It’s an open-arms invitation, it’s selflessly inviting people into our world, into our homes. We’ve been invited into the family of God, and showing hospitality to others is an extension of the invitation we’ve received from Him.

We are here to humbly discuss recent events, the death of George Floyd, and how we as Christians should be reacting. What does true compassion look like? Does Jesus understand our pain? Is there an offer of change that is big enough, strong enough, to save us from hatred, abuse, racism…to save us from sin? Join us in a reflective perspective of what a biblical, hopeful response might look like.

Join us for an introductory conversation on why we called this podcast The Hope We Hold. Where do you find encouragement and hope in a world so full of disappointment, hate, and sin? We are here to redefine the wishful thinking often associated with Hope, and give you an invitation into a life defined by peace.
