Hope in Hurt: Where Is God When Life Breaks?

Hope often feels hardest to hold onto when life hurts the most. In Part 1 of this special four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, I begin with the most honest starting point: hurt. When prayers go unanswered, grief enters the story, and life doesn’t unfold the way we planned, we may be left asking, "Where is God in the middle of the pain?" Let's explore how God meets us in our suffering and why biblical hope is not the absence of hurt, but the presence of God within it! And remember, my new book, The Fabric of Hope, comes out April 7th; pre-order your copy today!
