In this episode we consider hope and despair and how we are shaped by them. Those who've devoted their lives to studying the human condition tell us that hope is essential to human life. In the context of a true story, we examine how whatever you attach your hope to, that will direct your life. 
This true story unfolds one woman's struggle with her biggest hope crashing her into despair. And how  an enduring hope came in a surprising way. Whatever it is you hope in to guard your soul when life is confusing, painful or difficult, make sure you choose a hope able to sustain you when life is painful and doesn't make sense. If your hope only works when life is good,  it's not a sure and certain hope.
