Here's Hope: Finding Hope in the Chaos with Kasey Hope

I'm kicking off 2026 with a wild Christmas morning story involving a rogue deer on Main Street and a powerful message from a youth conference that hit me right where I needed it. We're diving into Luke 5 and Simon's response to Jesus—"because you say so, I will"—and how that simple statement of obedient faith speaks to the excuses we all make when God nudges us toward something uncomfortable. I'm...

In this episode, Alli Hunter and I talk about something we've both been learning: how to make gratitude and remembrance a real, everyday practice instead of just a nice idea. We share tangible ways we're teaching ourselves and our kids to remember God's faithfulness because when we forget what God has already done, fear gets louder. If you've ever felt your faith waver not because God moved but be...

Meet Leslie, a dear friend who quietly shows up with faithfulness and wisdom in everything she does, including fostering and adopting two precious little boys.

If you've ever wondered about fostering or adopting, this will feel like having coffee...

I promise we're approaching it from a place of victory, not fear. We'll walk through Scripture together to understand what happened when some angels chose rebellion, who Satan really is, and most importantly, how we can stand firm knowing that Jesus h...

In this episode, we're diving into what angels actually do. They're messengers of God's Word, ministers to His people, warriors in spiritual battle, and worshippers who never stop praising Him. I'm sharing some incredible stories that remind us there's so much more happening around us than what we can see with our physical eyes. I hope this conversation will encourage you to trust that God is near...

In this episode, I explore who angels really are according to Scripture: created beings who exist to worship God and carry out His will with perfect obedience. We examine the different ranks of angels like archangels, cherubim, and seraphim, and discover that while angels are powerful, we as redeemed humans hold a unique place in God's heart. Understanding angels helps us better understand God's c...

I'm so excited to kick off our brand new angel series as we dive into what God's Word actually says about these fascinating spiritual beings. In this episode, I share a powerful story from when I was a teenager about a near-accident that left all of us in the car wondering if an angel had intervened.

This week I had a conversation with my friend that completely shifted my perspective on something I'd never considered before: the idea that God's silence might actually be a gift. Instead of feeling forgotten or ignored when we can't hear from God, what if His quiet moments are actually His way of saying "you're doing great, I trust you, keep going"...? Today I'm sharing a powerful illustration f...

This week, I'm talking about the power of rest. Recently, I had the incredible privilege of participating in the annual tradition of a girls' weekend away at the beach and the rest I was able to get from that retreat gave me the resilience to handle all the things I needed to come home and take care of back in real life. If you won't take my word for it, we're also looking at the Bible for example...

In this episode, I talk about something we can all relate to - that natural desire to wait for God's confirmation before we step out in faith. From beautiful Biblical stories to personal examples from my own life, I'm sharing how God's confirmation often comes after our obedience, not before. If you've ever found yourself hesitating to take that next step because you're waiting for a clear sign, t...

Summer has thrown my entire world into chaos and maybe you can relate! I notice it every single summer - gone are those predictable mornings and reliable rhythms that keep me grounded. As we're getting closer to school starting, I'm reminded how much I love routine and how much we all need rhythm in our lives. When our rhythms get disrupted, everything suffers - not just our schedules, but our spi...

If you're in your own season...

If you didn't relate to either of the two seasons we covered last week, you might find yourself in a place of change and transition. Although it can feel stressful, we can find hope in the autumn and winter seasons of transition, waiting, and rest. Whether you're feeling stuck, facing uncertainty, o...
