When life feels unstable, hope can feel out of reach. In this Advent episode, Scott Sauls explores what Christian hope really is and why Scripture insists it grows strongest in seasons of uncertainty. Drawing from Isaiah 40, Romans 8, Vaclav Havel, and Fleming Rutledge, Scott shows how hope takes root not in optimism or outcomes, but in the character and presence of God.

This episode helps you name your discouragement honestly, remember what God has already done, and entrust your future to the God who holds it. If you’re tired, anxious, or unsure about the road ahead, this conversation offers a grounded, gospel-centered way to rediscover hope.
