0:00.0	Welcome to 10-minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:08.9	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:12.6	We have some good news to kick us off today. Jensen and her husband Sam just welcomed the newest member of their family, a baby girl named Winslow, and we are so excited for them. Jensen's going to be on maternity leave for about a month, which means I'll be filling in while she's out. If we haven't met yet, my name's Luke. I've hopped in for a few episodes here before, and I also get the privilege of writing the Not Just Sunday newsletter. I'm really glad to be with you today.
0:38.5	Before we jump in, though, can we just take a second to pray for Jensen and her family?
0:43.2	Lord, thank you for the gift of new life. We thank you for Winslow and for the way she's already
0:48.3	brought so much joy to her family. We pray for Jensen and Sam that you would give them rest in the middle of sleepless nights,
0:56.0	patience and the hard moments, and a deep joy as they learn this new rhythm of life together.
1:00.9	We pray and we trust Winslow into your care and ask that she would grow up knowing your goodness and grace.

1:19.6	If things feel stable, you might say, yeah.
1:22.6	If things feel shaky, you might say no.
1:25.6	And I get that because most of us confuse hope with optimism or pessimism.
1:31.8	Optimism is glass half full, right? It's thinking that things will turn out well.
1:38.3	Pessimism is more of the glass half empty. It's looking at the circumstances in life and thinking
1:43.1	generally things are going to turn out poorly. Both of these at the circumstances in life and thinking generally things are going to turn out
1:45.1	poorly. Both of these ways of view in life are based on circumstances. They rise and fall
1:51.5	depending on what's happening in your life. But see, biblical hope is different than optimism or
1:58.6	pessimism. Because biblical hope, real hope, isn't a prediction about how
2:03.4	the circumstances of your life might change. No, hope is not based on circumstances at all.
2:09.1	Hope is confidence in a person. Hope is what happens when you believe that Jesus is alive,
