“Finding Real Hope When Life Hurts: An Advent Conversation With Wendy Blight, Ellen Adkins, and Kaley Olson”


Listen Later


When the holidays feel heavy, hope can feel far away. In this Advent episode, Bible teacher Wendy Blight joins Kaley Olson and Ellen Adkins to show how Jesus brings real hope into the places where we feel most broken. Through Scripture and Wendy’s powerful personal story, you’ll discover why biblical hope is more than wishful thinking — it’s a confident expectation rooted in who God is.

Perfect for anyone who needs a breath of hope this season.

You’ll learn:

  • Why biblical hope is a confident expectation — not wishful thinking.
  • How the story of hope begins in Genesis and is fulfilled in Jesus.
  • Ways to move from a victim mentality toward healing and trust in God.
  • How to experience Scripture as alive and active in seasons of brokenness.
