Today we’re launching a new teaching series on The Hope Podcast called The Upside Down Series – A study of Acts. Jesus not only turned the world upside down with his life and message but invited His followers to continue in His footsteps and spread the good news of the gospel in word and deed. In this chapter-by-chapter study of the book of Acts, I invite you to learn what it means to be a discipl...

Are you hurting and find yourself turning to whatever it takes to quiet the ache inside? You’re not alone. We’re all broken, lonely people in need of love and affirmation, but what if instead of seeing our pain as something to be numbed, we’d let it awaken us to what we really need – intimacy with God? In this podcast episode you’ll hear a conversation with Ainsley Britain where I share my story o...

Do you struggle with sexual temptation? Is there any area of sin in your life that keeps you from experiencing intimacy with Jesus? Do you deal with continual bouts of shame and guilt because you fail in certain aspects of your life? Have you ever shared your struggles with anyone? Do you have a secret, a part of your life that you hope nobody will discover?   Chris Fabry said, Don’t Tell Anyone Y...

Throughout the holiday season, we're featuring some special content on The Hope Podcast.   Today, I’m sharing with you a sermon I recently gave at Bethel College titled Is it worth the fight? In it, I’m addressing what I have learned about healthy sexuality, faithful Christianity, and the ache in my heart.   Please give it a listen! This episode will challenge you to deal with what happens in the...

“Why can’t I stop doing what I know as a follower of Jesus that I shouldn’t be doing? Why are so many of us unable to control what we so naively thought we could? Here’s a thought: what if we fail in controlling our sexual sin not because we can’t control it, but because we like it? What if the reason we keep going back to the place that we hate and do the things we abhor is that deep down, doing...

I'm thrilled to announce that there's some exclusive content coming your way on The Hope Podcast for the remainder of the year. Make sure to stay tuned and catch every episode – I mean it!

Why does God discipline us? What is holiness? What motivates us to keep going? How does God speak? What does it mean that God is our good Father? Why does God allow suffering in our life? Today’s podcast is filled with wisdom, applicable truths, and answers to some of the big questions we’ll face in life. Whether you’re going through a difficult season or feel like you’re on a mountain top, this p...

In today’s podcast we’re going to look at some of the most inspiring verses in the Bible. Hebrews 11 presents to us a list of men and women of God who walked through immense obstacles and afflictions, sometimes experiencing miracles of deliverance, while sometimes suffering to the point of death. They were all commended for their faith and their testimonies teach us four valuable lessons about the...

In today’s podcast we’ll continue our study of Hebrews and see how Jesus, the exalted Son and high priest provides full cleansing from sin and open access to God – the reality that the Old Testament anticipated but was never meant to accomplish. In view of understanding who Christ is, the author of Hebrews encourages Christians to hold firmly to their faith in His work in spite of adversity. There...

If you're in need of a dose of encouragement, make sure to tune in to today's podcast episode from our Confidence Series! As we look at Hebrews 7-8, we will find out why Jesus is better and how to live in light of this truth. He is better than Melchizedek: we can approach Him with confidence. He is better than the law: we can lean on His grace. He is better than any other sacrifice: we are forgive...

Our greatest confidence grows out of knowing the character of God.    Today we’re continuing our podcast series on Hebrews by looking at four aspects God never lies about and discuss their profound implications for our lives.    Tune in now and may the word of God fill your heart and mind.    ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and c...

In today’s podcast, as we delve into Hebrews 4-5, we will come to understand that our greatest sense of confidence comes from knowing that God loves us so deeply. In this episode I’m also pointing out five reasons why we are not changing and growing in our faith, and the main things that I believe stand in our way of drawing closer to God. Take some time to reflect on this episode. What applies to...

One of the greatest battles we encounter as followers of Christ is the struggle against unbelief. When our prayers go seemingly answered, when we don’t see the results we hoped for, when life hurls one curveball after another, we’re tempted to succumb to fear, disappointment, and to forget who is on our side. In Hebrews chapter 3, the author is making a point that one of the most effective ways to...

Today we’re continuing The Confidence Series with a look at Hebrews chapter 2 where we will recognize another reason we can be confident: because God is in control. Much like us today, the early Christian believers were living in tumultuous times. They confronted injustice, endured suffering, and grappled with a sense of uncertainty, all of which tempted them to forsake their faith. In this contex...

I’m so excited to welcome you back to a new podcast series through the book of Hebrews I called The Confidence Series: How to fully trust God when I don’t see the way. How do we navigate times of adversity victoriously? What do we need to stand unshaken in a rapidly changing culture? How do we replace our insecurities with immovable faith? How do we overcome disappointments and experience stabilit...

Have you ever felt restless or dissatisfied, despite having success, possessions, or even fulfilling relationships? God has placed within each of us a holy discontent, a stirring, a desire for something more. It's a longing that cannot be satisfied by anything else but a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. In today’s podcast we’ll look at Revelation 22 and delve into God’s invitation...

Life often presents us with trials, doubts, and circumstances that challenge the very core of our beliefs. In these moments, it's natural to question if our faith truly holds any weight. The lineup of men and women from Hebrews 11 certainly understand the struggle in our heart, and the way they responded to adversity, unfairness, confusion, or God’s silence, serves as a timeless guide for us durin...

What’s your relationship with failure like? Where do you see yourself as a failure and how have you responded to that failure? John 21 is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. Here we encounter how Jesus responded to Peter after what was probably his biggest failure yet – the denial of Jesus before His crucifixion. Instead of scolding him, Jesus loves him and points him to his purpose and calli...

How has your year been so far? Maybe you’ve gone through some circumstances that have left you questioning and confused. Maybe not a lot has turned out as anticipated and the losses and tensions you have felt, have left you discouraged. Maybe you might find it difficult to be grateful this time of the year. Trust me, I understand. But I believe this podcast will open our eyes to see that we can tr...

Is there an area in your life where you feel like you’ve been waiting on God forever – perhaps even to where His delays have looked like denial? This teaching from John 11 – the raising of Lazarus – will help you understand that God is at work in the delays of our lives, fulfilling His greater purposes in what looks like impossible circumstances. Don’t miss this podcast! I believe your faith will...

Have you ever placed your trust in God, hoping for a positive outcome, only to feel let down? In Matthew 11, John the Baptist’s story looked like it ended badly from a human perspective. Here was an individual whom Jesus considered to be the greatest among all men (Mat. 11:11) stuck in prison, hoping to be delivered, only to be beheaded instead. From the viewpoint of God, John's final outcome was...
