As we continue in our journey to hope, it becomes obvious that faith plays a major role in the direction and success in which we travel. Faith and hope are intertwined and supportive of one another. As our faith grows, so to does our hope. And as our hope grows, so to does our faith.

In this episode, I look at faith as a matter of choice. I will explore a bit about what hope is and then I will look at two examples related to faith. One is a true example of faith that was gained, weakened, and restored. The other is considered a non-example of faith. This individual’s faith was misdirected and as a result, he lost his faith.

I encourage you to listen to this presentation and make a wise choice regarding not only your faith, but also where you hope lies.

It's not unusual to feel alone and overwhelmed when life throws challenges at us. We also may feel in these moments that these challenges pile on seeming to crush us by their number and weight. It is in these moments that it is very important to remember that we are not alone.

I recently came across a poem by Amar Amarvani called, "The Hope Poem". I want to share that with you along with another poem you probably know and might be able to quote.

We all have knowledge, skills, and experiences that we can use to help others discover, sustain, or regain hope. We might not recognize these in ourselves, but they are there.

In this episode I have a conversation with Don Moore, Assistant Executive Director for the Lads to Leaders organization. We discuss what Lads to Leaders is and how it contributes to helping others challenged in their hope.

The Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes group is focused on helping young people develop knowledge, skills, and experiences in leadership while also helping them grow in their faith. These experiences help form a foundation of faith from which they can build a lifetime of service to our Lord, His Kingdom, and others.

A lot of us learn or think in some sort of pattern. We find comfort in patterns to help us understand and live our life. We can learn outside of a pattern, but it helps to have one.

In this episode, I want to look at a pattern that will help us understand a bit about Christianity. There are a lot of thoughts out there about what Christianity is. Most have a pretty good idea, but some have no idea, and some have misconceptions about Christianity. I want to look at three critical elements of Christianity in this episode to help us understand what Christianity is about. I call them the three C's of Christianity. We'll also look at how they work together to form a pattern to help us understand.

You've heard it expressed in some form or another that everything has a cost or that nothing is truly free. This is applicable to true and lasting hope. True and lasting hope is found only in our Lord Jesus Christ.

The hope most people have is a vague form of wanting something to happen or not to happen. There is nothing inherently wrong with this. We all use the word hope in this form. But that kind of hope is short lived and doesn't generally have a plan forward.

The other kind of hope, the one we all long for, is true and lasting hope. That has a plan. It also has a cost. It cost Jesus His life as He died for us on the cross.

In this episode I discuss what that means to us as we seek true and lasting hope. It is something we can have now. It brings a change in our life as we grow in awareness of our hope and draw closer to our Lord.

It is my desire that you listen to this, especially if you are looking for true and lasting hope and the peace it brings. If you do have that hope, then share it with others.

In this episode I want to look at a character known to many who traveled from hopeless to hopeful through his interaction with Jesus. This man was willing to sacrifice his dignity to get a chance to see Jesus. Of course, I'm talking about what is a favorite Bible story for many. I'm talking about Zacchaeus.

Perhaps you are facing rejection and lonliness. Or you know someone who is. I invite you to listen to this incredible journey and what we can learn for our journey to hope. I also invite you to share this episode with others.

Everyone of us have a past that has elements we are ashamed of, or regret. Some have extreme situations from which they are seeking to grow out of. Another point to note is that when something has become a part of who we are, it is not easy to change it. It usually takes what is known as a significant emotional event.

In this episode I have a conversation with Aaron Anderson about such a journey to hope. Aaron is the director of the Home for Recovery and Restoration located in Winnsboro, Texas. This incredible organization is committed to helping men that have been imprisoned for substance abuse to return to life. For some, it is the first time in their life that they have hope. While in the home, these men receive encouragement to maintain sobriety but more importantly, they hear the good news of true and lasting hope found only through Jesus Christ.

I encourage you to listen to Aaron's compelling story as a drug and alcohol abuser himself and how he made his journey to hope and how he is helping others in their journey.

Scripture, God's word is serious. It communicates to us how God created us, how sin came into the world, and how He made the way back to Him possible through Jesus Christ.

Yet God also created us in His image with all the emotions we experience. Among those is the ability to see humor in things. And although scripture is serious, sometimes God uses forms of humor to help us understand His message and His will for us.

In this episode I have a conversation with my friend Phillip Treat. Phillip is a minister for the Eastern Hills Church of Christ in Marshall, TX. Philip has the ability to understand God's word and how to help us grow spiritually as we too come to understand and apply more of it.

I invite you to listen as we share example of how God uses humor in His word. And in doing so, we come to discover, sustain, or regain hope.
