In today\'s episode, we\'re diving deep into the essence of hope, faith, and the power of believing in something greater. We explore the significance of holding onto hope, even when it feels like you\'re the last "good sucker" out there. It\'s about reminding ourselves that we\'re not alone in striving for light, love, and positivity in the world.

We\'ll discuss:

  • The importance of hope and belief in something greater than ourselves.
  • How to cling to hope in our families, friendships, colleagues, and romantic relationships.
  • The idea that we\'re not the only ones trying to make the world a better place.
  • The power of borrowing hope from those around us when ours is running low.
  • The role of the church in our lives and how it can be both a source of solace and struggle.
