With a woman at look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with a point.

The weeks that have followed the shooting at Nashville's Covenant School have been filled

with grief and anger, with feonerals and protest.

Yet in the midst of this horrific tragedy, Nashville police chief John Drake has found

renewed faith and renewed hope.

In a touching moment at a press conference earlier this month, Drake thanked the students

of Covenant School.

He attended a memorial service for victims and admitted that he and other officers were

hurting.

He lifted tears as the students proclaimed the hope that they have in Christ even in

the midst of the tragedy.

Chief Drake thanked Covenant School for instilling that hope in their students.

The Church has hope always because Christ is risen from the dead.

As Paul wrote, we do not lose heart for this light momentary affliction is preparing

us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.

Nashville has seen firsthand that these aren't mere platitudes or mere feelings, hope has

substance.

Whenever it is grounded in Christ Jesus.
