What if hope isn’t something you squeeze out of perfect plans, but a confidence you receive from a faithful God? We open Romans 15 and sit with Paul’s claim that Scripture was written for our instruction “so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” That line reframes everything: control is not your safety net; Christ is. From market crashes and medical surprises to everyday anxieties, we wrestle with why planning is wise but placing hope in plans is a trap, and how Jesus can tell us to expect tribulation while also offering real peace.

We get practical about building a Scripture-shaped life—moving beyond emergency verses toward a steady, daily intake that equips you before the storm hits. You’ll hear why memorizing even a single passage can stabilize a week, how to handle confusing books like Leviticus and Numbers without giving up, and simple ways to turn questions into growth. We also tackle unity. Paul’s vision is a people who glorify God “with one voice.” That doesn’t mean uniformity; it means a shared center in Jesus. We talk about laying down intramural fights, choosing humility over point‑scoring, and leaning into embodied practices like asking for prayer, praying for others, and showing up when it’s awkward.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer path to anchor your hope where it belongs: in Christ who began the work, sustains the work, and will complete the work.
