You're listening to the Jeff Cavens show.

Episode 23, don't put a period where God put a comma.

Hey, I'm Jeff Cavens.

How do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible?

All the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids, we're going to talk about the faith and life in general.

It's the Jeff Kaven Show.

Welcome to the show, my friends.

Good to have you once again.

And I hope that you have just had a wonderful 4th of July if you're listening to this at some other point.

I'm giving this message today just on the heels of the 4th of July.

A time where we celebrate freedom, we celebrate liberty, it's a great time for

families to get together and I also had the opportunity on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd to attend the Bishop's Convocation for Leadership in Orlando.

Met about 3,500 people down there, knew many of them, an awful lot of fun, and if you were at that, love to hear what you thought of that

convocation. Got to meet a lot of old friends and new friends and to see how God is working

around the country in an amazing way.

I'm going to be talking today on the show about a topic that, to be honest with you, I wasn't going to talk about this,

but in talking to a number of people

over the last week it has become really clear to me that there's a lot of people in

need of hope there's a lot of people in need of hope. There's a lot of people in need of encouragement. Things happen in

their life and they feel devastated. They feel like they are running out of gas. They're running out of hope. and I wanted to put some things together here just to give

you some encouragement if you are one of those people that is struggling with hope and

struggling with feeling like you, it's the end. I don't have anywhere else to go. I don't have anything else to do.
