In our season finale, we talk over what hope is and what hope isn't, as well as what comfort is and what comfort isn't.

We continue our discussion of how we hold on to hope by building on the foundation of previous episodes, culminating in living in a Holy Procession. Based on a study of 2 Cor 2:14-16, we as wayfarers can live in confident expectation because Christ leads us in a triumphant procession as we spread the aroma of Christ to every corner of our world. As we go, so goes the gospel!

We continue to embrace the "P" alliteration and dig into the Holy Purpose that God has for our lives, even through pain and grief. We talk about the Holy Purpose we can see through inward transformation and its outward expressions, as well as the importance of trust when we can't see the purpose in our circumstances.

Wayfarers are called to be holy, like God is holy and they're also called to travel Homeward together. In this episode we talk about some of the calls to holiness outlined in the gospels and challenge listeners to surround themselves with the holy people - The Church!

Our conversation centers around the dogged determination to allow a holy perspective anchored in eternity, to propel us through the troubles we face in this life. This essential ingredient is a part of the holy process, outlined in Romans 5, that ultimately results in a hope that will never disappoint.

Continuing our discussions about the essential tools in our backpacks as we learn to hold on to hope, today we talk about the Holy Presence of God on our journey through this world toward the promised land ahead. The Holy Presence provides partnership, peace, truth, provision, power and promise on the brave way Home!

Living with a holy perspective and running with a holy pursuit will result in yielding to a holy pace. In this episode we talk about some of the phrases God has used to refine our pace; teaching us to stay tethered to Him, to hold out for the eternal, to praise even in pain and to walk the brave way home with fellow wayfarers.

Adopting a holy perspective will give rise to a holy pursuit. When we pursue the things over which Christ presides we refuse the temptation to chase after what the world offers and doggedly follow Jesus (the Person we were made for) to Heaven (the Place we were made for). Wayfarers don't settle and wayfarers don't quit...we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and our hearts set on Heaven, living lives of holy pursuit.

Adopting a holy perspective is crucial to grieving with hope. In this episode we talk about what impacts life perspective and some characteristics of a holy perspective.

We begin our Season long discussion of hope by acknowledging the reality of grief and building a toolbox metaphor to help us meet moments of suffering well. We share some of the the truths we have discovered as reluctant learners in grief on the brave way Home and trace the trajectory of faithful endurance all the way to its promised end in eternal hope.
