Think Hope Podcast

In honor of April National Month of Hope, Hopeologist Dr. Rosalind Tompkins honors frontline workers who put their lives on the line like HOPEE (Helping Others Practice Enduring Empowerment), Awardee LaTreller Johnson who is a direct care professional at a long-term residential care facility for adults with developmental disabilities. This center has several confirmed cases of Coronavirus. Ms. Johnson, a single parent of three, shares her motivation for continuing to go to work as more than half of the residents and one third of the employees have tested positive for COVID 19 although she tested negative and does not have the disease.

This Coronavirus pandemic has just become more personal to me as LaTreller Johnson is a long-term member of Mothers In Crisis. As her pastor and leader, I am so proud of her stance and faith. LaTreller represents what is good is the world and is empowered by the practice of hopeology and shares how she uses the principles to create hope spheres at her place of employment during this extremely difficult time. Congratulations to LaTreller Johnson for receiving the HOPEE Award!

During April the National Month of Hope, hope is needed now more than ever! On this episode Hopeologist Rosalind Tompkins chats with HOPEE (Helping Others Practice Enduring Empowerment) National Awardee Judge Frank Caprio of Providence Rhode Island about his hope filled life and career. Judge Caprio has served as a Providence Municipal Court Judge since 1985. His court is well-known due to the top-rated television show, "Caught in Providence". The "Caught in Providence" televised proceedings have become popular worldwide and televised nationally since September 2018.

The world is experiencing life turned upside down due to the Coronavirus pandemic. During these unprecedented times we need to spread hope and not disease. Pope Francis said on Easter Sunday, that the message that Christ has risen is "the contagion of hope." Hope is like the light in a dark tunnel that will help us to navigate our way through this crisis. As a hopeologist and hope coach I believe that it is imperative to stay safe, keep the faith, and have hope. I am honored to chat with those who are bringing hope to the world in their various roles and capacities.

Hopeologist Dr. Rosalind Tompkins shares how to deal with the second-hand panic that is surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. She explores what the Word of God has to say about how we should conduct ourselves during these trying times. She shares three points about what we need to remember when facing this crisis. While we wash our hands, cough into our arms, and practice social distancing, we must remember that there is no distance in prayer or in the Spirit. As we Stay Safe in Love, Keep the Faith, and Imagine Hope we can help ourselves and others make it through as overcomers in this life because there is Hope for Health!

Hopeologist Dr. Rosalind Tompkins talks about the process and power of imagining hope. Imagination is the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful. It is a right brain function that is responsible for creativity, intution, symbols, and signs. We will see how God has given us this ability and we will learn how to use it. We can co-create with God this year by imagining hope!

Imagining Hope requires creating the image for your God given vision and seeing it in your holy imagination.It requires paitently waiting for the the things that you are hoping for to manifest through perserverance.It requires Spirit led prayer.It requires speaking the language of hope.

Dr. Rosalind shares how Mothers In Crisis is imagining a more hopeful world through the April National Month of Hope Campaign. To become involved please visit www.makeahopeconnection.com.

We will explore how being grateful brings hope and how we must give thanks in all things. We will also learn five ways to become more grateful and not hateful. Ms. Coates will share how she is thankful to God as a breast cancer survivor and how she is using her gifts to bring hope to others. We will also hear from others who call in and share about what they are thankful for.

Sylvia Coates in her own words: I'm a prophetic, inspirational, motivational, artist! My products are very unigue, and each is created from one of my original acrylic paintings. I began painting with worship music while going through my first round of breast cancer treatment in 2018 just as a way to relieve the stress on my mind and body. This combination sparked a passion to live a full life of love and inspiration through artwork. My website consists of original acrylic painting and creations from my painting. My creations are backpacks, purses, mugs, hats, blankets, pillows, metal tin signs, jackets, quilts, etc. To see my work please visit: www.sylviaartfromthehea.shop.
