Summary
Today is a candid conversation of reflections on hope with author Laura Smith. We talk about what God is doing with COVID-19. On a micro level in our lives but also on a global scale. How He is continuing to work out His great rescue plan for humanity.
We discuss the goodness of God, how we are like the grumbling Israelites being brought into the promise land through way of the wilderness, and how God is turning evil for good before our eyes in spite of the brokenness we see.

| 0:57.8 | conversation drew nearer and the whole COVID thing became our reality, we decided to shift gears. |
| 1:04.4 | And this conversation just was kind of what came out of discussing current events and what, specifically what God is doing in the midst of it. |
| 1:15.6 | I know I'm not the first person to ask, God, what are you doing in this time in my life |

| 1:36.8 | And so that's kind of what Lauren and I are talking about today is how we're seeing it redeemed in our own lives and globally. |

| 1:44.6 | coming on the heels of Easter, just the reality that a risen Christ means that everything is |
