Hello and welcome, I am Jonathan Gouthier, co-host and associate Pastor of First Church here in Torrington, CT and you’re listening to the Faith First Podcast where we provide you with some practical steps to walking faith first in the world today. Our topic today is hope. We all have it, we all want some form of hope for our lives and yet as we will discover in today’s episode, true hope can only be found in Jesus Christ. Let’s listen in on a message by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr entitled, What is Your Hope?

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How the word hope causes an emotional reaction
• What the true meaning of hope is
• Knowing the difference between hope for and hope in
• What we must focus on for true hope

When we hope for something, we are placing our hopes on people and things. The result is guaranteed disappointment and failure. But when we hope in, we are putting our hope somewhere, in someone— the hands and heart of Jesus.

We are so glad you’ve joined us for our broadcast. If you’re new to the Faith First podcast we encourage you to hit the notification bell below and be alerted to when a new episode is launched. Until next time, remember to place your hope in Jesus faith first.
