Today’s episode of The Hopecast features part 2 of Rachael’s conversation with Leeanna Tankersley. After being hit with the unexpected and unwanted news that her husband was seeking a divorce, Leeanna’s world flipped upside down. In the previous episode she shared what it was like for her in the aftermath as she processed grief and tried to come to terms with her life that felt like shattered pieces of broken glass. In this episode, Leeanna explains how she learned to surrender to the work God was doing in her life and how her book, Hope Anyway, was birthed out of that process. She says that there is no shortcut through grief, and that our power lies in choosing to let go of all the outcomes we had hoped for, in order to accept the mystery of God.

Not all meditation practices are created the same. Many forms are rooted in New Age and Buhdist ideologies, even if they seem innocent enough at first glance. Because of this, there is a danger that Christians often unknowingly open themselves up to on a spiritual level, while participating in guided meditations. On today’s episode of The Hopecast, Rachael sits down with Russ Jones, the executive producer of Abide, a biblical based meditation and sleep app. Russ explains why it’s important that Christians be aware of what type of meditations they participate in. He also shares more in depth how the Abide app is helping Christians cultivate better habits and richer practices surrounding their relationships with God.

Some would argue that our world has never faced such a politically heated time. With debates on any given issue firing off left and right, it can be hard for Christians in particular to know what truth is and how to stand for it. During  part-2 of the interview between Rachael Flick and Nick Vujicic, the two discuss the topic of abortion in particular. Rachael opens up, for the first time, about getting an abortion as a teenager and how that decision still affects her to this day. She explains that abortion is nothing more than an empty promise to “fix” something, but that it leaves you with pain and regret. While abortion is a sin, Rachael leaves listeners with hopeful assurance that forgiveness and redemption are found in Jesus.
