\nDo join my co-host Andrew Horton and I as we discuss:
\n
\n\tWhy hope in the true sense of the word is much more than wishful thinking, but instead a joyful expectation about the future.
\n\tHow we can view hope as "not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." (Vaclav Havel)
\n\tThe dangers of basing my hope on a particular outcome that I want.
\n\tHow the attempted suicide of a friend taught me the dangers of a secular hope.
\n\t4 core beliefs in developing hope
\n\tA Biblical perspective on hope.
\n\tThe forgotten part of the serenity prayer and what that teaches about hope.
\n\tWhat to say to someone who is struggling to have hope about the future.
