After taking a short break for the first time in four years, Laura is back to share on the topic of hope and how “wishful thinking” is not true hope.

Hopelessness can leave us feeling weary and defeated, leaving us caught in a negative circle and not see any way out. In today’s episode, Laura looks at Proverbs 13:12 which implies this very thing, along with the second half of the verse which breathes hope back into our lives.
