Hope with Purpose: Can God Really Use This?

After hurt and disappointment, one of the biggest questions we wrestle with is, "Did any of this even matter?" In Part 3 of this four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring P for Purpose and the hope that God can redeem even our most painful seasons! If you’ve ever wondered what the point of your heartbreak, loss, or disappointment was, this episode will remind you that God wastes nothing. I share how He can weave every thread into a greater story of purpose, something I explore even deeper in my upcoming book The Fabric of Hope, releasing April 7!

Disappointment has a way of shaking our faith when life doesn’t unfold the way we expected... In Part 2 of this special four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring O for Outlook and how our perspective can either deepen our despair or anchor us in hope! When God’s plan looks different than the one we imagined, how do we trust Him in the middle of unmet expectations and seasons of suffering? Hope in Christ reframes our outlook and reminds us that God is still weaving purpose through every thread! I talk about this and more in my new book coming out April 7th, The Fabric of Hope, which you can pre-order down below!

Hope often feels hardest to hold onto when life hurts the most. In Part 1 of this special four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, I begin with the most honest starting point: hurt. When prayers go unanswered, grief enters the story, and life doesn’t unfold the way we planned, we may be left asking, "Where is God in the middle of the pain?" Let's explore how God meets us in our suffering and why biblical hope is not the absence of hurt, but the presence of God within it!

It's often in the middle of the mess that we feel most alone, and maybe even most abandoned by God. But the truth is that He meets us right there in the middle of it, and helps us to get through what we are going through.
