Oprah Says Give Up Hope — Here's Why Faith Says Otherwise


Listen Later

In this reaction video, I'm responding to a moment in Oprah's estrangement episode that happens around 36:50, where she says we should "give up any hope that it's ever going to be any different."

As a Christian coach for moms walking through estrangement, I agree with her about releasing the past — but I completely disagree with the idea that you should ever give up hope for the future.

In this episode, I break down: ✨ Why forgiveness is release — but hope is God's promise ✨ The difference between surrender and hopelessness ✨ Why boundaries protect your hope, not destroy it ✨ What accountability looks like for BOTH the mom and the adult child ✨ How the examples with Chris and the young woman reveal deeper wounds ✨ Why some adult children walk away for emotional safety ✨ What faith actually says about restoration, healing, and changed hearts

If you're a mom in estrangement, please hear this: Releasing the past is healthy. But giving up hope is NOT what God asks of you. God changes hearts every single day.
