There are so many remarkable events in the life of Christ.  We spend years studying them and drawing an application for our lives.  In this episode I want to look at one of these events that occurred towards the end of our Lord's life yet hold great significance to us.  I'm speaking of the interaction between Jesus and one of those crucified with Him.  There was something very unique that happened during this interaction, something that is not recorded anywhere else in scripture.  Please listen to find out about this remarkable moment and what it means to us.  
 
 After you listen to this, please text me with the link above and let me know what it means to you.

This episode marks one year since I began my podcast.  It has been a wonderful journey.  I have enjoyed tremendously the guests I've had, the insights I've gained and shared, and my personal growth in knowledge of hope.

I wanted to briefly chat about how I began my podcast and a bit about why I started it.  I am looking forward to many more opportunities to help others discover, sustain, or regain hope.  I also continue to give glory to God for all He grants me as His child.

As I've gotten older I've noticed how much joy I have in seeing young married couples begin life together.  They are full of love, joy, and hope as they grow in their relationship.

Such is the case with Nic and Isabelle Cavender.  I recently met this couple at our congregation and saw how special they were.  I also saw how much they reminded me of my wife and I as we began our life together.

I invited Nic and Isabelle to be guests on this podcast to discuss their understanding of hope as a young married couple.  They provided wonderful insights and helped me understand some things I had not thought of.   Something I noticed immediately in talking with them and I think you'll hear it also is the hope and joy they express naturally as they share their thoughts.

It may seem odd that we would find hope through worship when it is often seen as an activity in which we should look outward to God.  But like other things, God provides us benefits in this activity.  

In this episode I discuss with David Barker, minister for the Midway Church of Christ about how we find hope through our worship to God.  We look at what hope is and how the activities of worship help rovide hope.

It has been noted that the more hope we have the more motivated we are.  Sadly, the opposite is also true.  If we feel we have no hope then our motivation wanes or is nonexistant.  

In this episode we look at the relationship between hope and motivate.  We look at how we can develop motivation and how we can recapture motivation when it begins to wane.

My guest, Keith Kasarjian is a world travler.  He is the Director of Extension Studies for the Bear Valley Bible Institute and travels throughout the world helping establish preacher and teacher schools.

We've stated in several episodes that true and lasting hope is found in our Lord Jesus Christ.  And until we put on Christ through our repentance and baptism, we don't have that true and lasting hope.

Part of the elements that God requires for us to be granted salvation from our sins is repentance.  This word is sometimes misunderstood.  For example, some might think repentance means they need to get their life right and then they can turn to our Lord.

In this episode I discuss with Brent Missildine what true repentance is, it's importance, and the result of it in our relationship with Christ.  You will hear several scriptures refered to in this podcast.  Here is a list of the main scriptures referred to:

• 1 Peter 1: 3-5
• John 3
• ephesians 4
• Colossians 3
• Matthew 4:17
• Mark 1:14-15
• Luke 24:46-47
• romans 6
• Luke 9:24
• 2 Corinthians 7:9-10
• Luke 15

Becky has been a guest before (Season 1 - Episode 20) where we talked about the healing of humor.  She is a remarkable person with a tremendous spirit.  I think you will discover as I did that you feel like you've known her for years as a good friend. 

In this episode Becky and I discuss a new venture she started that is aimed at helping folks going through challenges in their life, cancer or otherwise, and for those acting as care givers.   She has started sharing with others the joy and value of journeling.  She provides tools through her Amazon account that are excellent tools to help folks get started or to continue journeling.  She also shares her future plans for other resources that will help those being challenged and those helping them.  These plans include include a children's book to help them deal with challenges their loved ones are facing.

Perhaps you've heard it said many times that we find true and lasting hope through God's word, the Bible.  You may even have heard it often enough the it is easy to tune it out.   I like to think you want to know God's word but not sure where to begin reading or understanding it.

In this episode I have a discussion withe Dale Jenkins about how we find hope through God's word.  We discuss some views on hope and how it is a thread that runs throughout God's word.  Dale also speaks to where to start and some tips for helping to understand God's revealed word.

Dale is a gospel minister but he also spends time teaching others how to use the Bible.  He and his brother Jeff have a web site called, "The Jenkins Institute" where he shares resources to help us grow in our knowledge and ability to apply God's word in our life.  He is also passionate about helping us help others to discover, sustain, or regain hope by understanding God's word.

Music and singing have always been part of efforts to motivate and stimulate us.  Even in our entertainment, we see the importance of songs.  For example, we hear a song from a movie and are immediately transported to that movie.  Military bands serve to spur on soldiers.  Highschool bands spur on teams to keep going.

The same is true in our spiritual songs we use in worship.  They not only help us offer our worship to God, but they also encourage us, teach us, and sometimes, convict us.  

In this episode I discuss with Jason Green a bit about the importance of singing in our praise and worship activities.  We also talk about the impact of our singing on others as we help folks discover, sustain, or regain hope.
