Summary

I’m so glad you’re here. Today we say goodbye to Human Hope, and I’m a little emotional about the change, if I’m being honest. But I’m so excited for what’s to come! Don’t get me wrong, hope is still here and it’s never going away! But I want this podcast to be a place where we hold space for when hope is hard. It's going to be a place where we go beyond the soundbite culture of social media, and we dig in deep. We're going to talk about life as it comes, and how it affects me, my family, our community, and our world.
