We all love a story. We especially love a story where tragedy turns into a hope-filled joyous ending. Our world is desperately seeking hope. And hope is not in wealth. Hope is not found in success or fame. Hope is not in politics or education. The only true source of hope in this world is in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This hope is not an "i hope so" kind of hope. It is the sure confidence that God is in control and has us in his hands. This is not just theory or philosophy. The "Experience Hope" podcast tells real life stories of individuals who have experienced incredible loss or tragedy in their lives. But through that dark journey have found that God is there, lighting the way with hope even through tragic circumstances. As you listen to these podcasts, you will be encouraged by God's faithfulness. You will be encouraged to move on trusting in God's presence and His sovereignty.
