Welcome to Episode 15 of Those Who Hope, our series finale!

Welcome to Episode 9 of Those Who Hope!

I love how real Holly is. If you are looking for an open & honest conversation about straying from God & also drawing near to him, then look no further! As we share in this episode, despite knowing each other for 24+ years, our friendship has blossomed in a new & exciting way since September 2022, which was a shifting point in both our lives...

Welcome to Episode 8 of Those Who Hope!

Today I am speaking to my wonderful friend, Ashley Andrew. As well as sharing about the ways God can use us in our work, and about her book that is coming out in May, Ashley shares an amazing story of how she was miraculously healed from chronic fatigue syndrome, which leads us to speaking about God's heart for us and character in the midst of any circumstance!

Whatever disappointments and challenges you may be facing, I hope that, like me, you will be encouraged by this episode about the power of holding onto hope. As Ashley says, 'When we put our hope in God, we're actually physically receiving strength!'

This is just the start of a conversation, so please do continue the conversation with us!

To get in touch with Ashley, and to keep up to date with her book release in May, follow her on insta: @ashleyaandrew

TW - In this episode we discuss various mental health subjects (begins at 47 mins)

You are going to want to hear Courtenay's story about how she went from being completely uninterested in God to wanting to know Him and follow Him. Courtenay also shares about relationships, how she met her husband and decided that God was leading them to marriage, and also the importance of knowing God's goodness despite your relationship status or whatever waiting season you are in.

Courtenay is somebody who helped me through one of the hardest times in my life when I had depression, and we also shine some insights into what have helped us both have hope and find breakthrough in seasons of depression.
