When life tilts—whether toward loss or success—where does your hope actually rest? We open our October theme on hope by drawing a clear line between fragile wishes and the rugged assurance Scripture describes. With Jarvis Brennan joining us, we explore why biblical hope is not a “maybe,” but a confident expectation rooted in God’s character and promises—and how that changes the way we suffer, celebrate, and make everyday choices.

We unpack Hebrews 11’s vision of faith as the substance of what we hope for and the evidence of what we can’t yet see. From Romans 8’s future glory to James 1’s refining trials, we show how an eternal perspective can hold steady under a diagnosis, a strained marriage, financial pressure, or the ache of grief. Hope doesn’t erase tears; it gives them direction. It refuses denial and instead reframes pain inside a bigger, truer story where God’s presence, purpose, and promise have the final say.

We also talk about the quieter danger—good times. Drawing from Philippians 4, we look at how abundance can shift our trust into work, wealth, or relationships, and how subtle idols overpromise and underdeliver. Jarvis shares practical steps to re-anchor your heart: assess your reality honestly, name who God is in it, restate what He’s promised, and respond with faithful next steps. Along the way, we revisit Abraham’s story, contrast works-based religion with the finished work of Christ, and remember that hope has an object—and His name is Jesus.
