This short episode is packed. 

We encourage you to listen, then let it all settle in and listen again. Josh and Kit unpack a lot on the big topic of Expectation vs Hope in a little amount of time. 

There’s a lot to process here on the definitions of both concepts. When you were little, you were probably taught a happiness equation suggesting “Life’s going to be great as long as you (fill in the blank).”  But, that equation subtracts the realistic bumps (or worse) in the road. 

This conversation challenges that idea while exploring Expectations and Hope in relation to your contentment. 

Change the narrative and invite God into life, whatever it brings.

Highlights:

Things are going to be challenging and things are going to go in ways you don’t expect. God will meet you there. What if you were told that as a young person?

Hope in God is not in the specific end that I might expect or anticipate or be working towards; but it’s in a Sovereign God.

HOPE: I surrender the control of the specifics that have to be so in order for me to be satisfied.

Homework:

Pray and LISTEN for what God has for your life. Pray with these questions:

What does Hope look like in my life?

How do You want me to be thinking about the expectations I have in my life?

How do You want me to be thinking about Hope?
