    A Theology of Hope: Insights from Bishop Trimble | S3 Ep.121

    Title: The Transformative Power of Hope with Bishop Julius C. Trimble Description: Welcome to the "To Be Encouraged" podcast, where Reverend Dr. Brad Miller dives deep into meaningful conversations about faith, hope, and encouragement. In this enlightening episode, we are joined by the inspiring Bishop Julius C. Trimble, who is on a mission to spread hope to 2,000,000 people. Together, they explore the profound impact of having a “theology of hope” and discuss practical ways to infuse hope into our daily lives. Whether you're feeling buoyant or burdened, this episode offers uplifting insights and actionable takeaways to help renew your spirit and encourage those around you. Three Key Takeaways: Hope as a Fundamental Necessity: Bishop Trimble emphasizes that hope is as essential to life as oxygen, water, food, and sleep. He shares his own conviction of being a "prisoner of hope," drawing inspiration from theologian Jurgen Moltmann’s concept of a "theology of hope." This perspective insists that Christian faith is a living hope, grounded in God's promises, particularly through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The takeaway here is clear: to lead a faith-driven life, one cannot afford to operate with a deficit of hope. Hope is the fuel that propels us toward actively working to make the world a better place.Active Engagement for a Better Future: Bishop Trimble discusses the necessity of coupling hope with action. Drawing from the mission of the United Methodist Church to "make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world," he argues that passive hope is insufficient. Instead, a robust theology of hope requires active engagement, including social justice efforts. Whether it's feeding the hungry or advocating for the wrongfully imprisoned, true hope manifests in tangible acts of kindness and justice. This aligns with his belief that "what good is hope without help?"Spreading Hope Through Personal Encouragement: Throughout his life, from overcoming personal academic struggles to navigating the loss of his father, Bishop Trimble has experienced the transformative power of encouragement. He shares stories of how small acts of kindness and advocacy, whether from family members or church community, have fortified his sense of hope. For listeners, the takeaway is to recognize the value of encouraging those around us. Simple acts, like writing a note of encouragement or using social media platforms to spread positivity, can make monumental differences in the lives of others. Conclusion: Listen in to hear Bishop Julius C. Trimble and Dr. Brad Miller discuss the indispensable role of hope in our lives, how to actively engage in spreading hope, and the profound impact of encouragement and love. This episode is a poignant reminder that hope, paired with action, can transform not just our lives, but the world around us.

In Episode 114, Rev. Dr. Brad Miller sits down with Bishop Julius C. Trimble to delve into the lessons we can learn from three monumental figures who recently passed away. This riveting conversation not only memorializes these giants but also illuminates the broader implications of their lives and legacies. Here are three key takeaways from this impactful episode: ### **1. The Power of Witness and Advocacy: The Life of Rev. James Lawson** Rev. James Lawson was a formidable figure in the civil rights and human rights movement. Though Bishop Trimble did not know him personally, Lawson's influence resonated deeply within his own ministry. A United Methodist pastor and a close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lawson was instrumental in teaching the principles of nonviolent resistance. His lifelong commitment to advocacy, social justice, and human rights serves as an inspiration for young pastors and anyone involved in social activism. Lawson demonstrated that the church's role extends beyond worship to radical prophetic witness and effective advocacy. ### **2. Theological Foundations of Hope: The Impact of Jürgen Moltmann** Jürgen Moltmann's theological contributions, particularly his "Theology of Hope," have left an indelible mark on both academia and personal faith journeys. Jürgen Moltmann believed that theology should not be confined to the ivory tower but should translate into real-world action and hope. His writings remind us that what we believe about God should inform how we live, what we are willing to stand for, and even sacrifice for. Jürgen Moltmann emphasized the church's role as a beacon of hope in a world often filled with despair, a message that is critically relevant for young theologians and pastors today. ### **3. Overcoming Adversity to Achieve Greatness: The Legacy of Willie Mays** Willie Mays, the legendary baseball player, symbolizes resilience and excellence in the face of adversity. Despite experiencing significant racial discrimination, Mays excelled to become one of the greatest athletes in history. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and serves as an enduring inspiration across various professions, including ministry. Bishop Trimble reminds us that modern-day successes in sports and other fields are built on the foundations laid by trailblazers like Mays, whose struggles and achievements continue to provide motivation and guidance. ### **Conclusion: Continuing the Journey** In this enriching episode, Bishop Julius C. Trimble underscores the importance of learning from the past to better navigate the future. The stories of Rev. James Lawson, JJürgen Moltmann, and Willie Mays offer invaluable lessons in advocacy, hope, and perseverance. As we stand on the shoulders of these giants, may their legacies inspire us to contribute positively to society and...
