Summary

Sometimes the healing or restoration we long for doesn’t come the way or in the timing we hope. In the final episode of this four-part series H.O.P.E. — Hurt, Outlook, Purpose, Eternity, we’re exploring E for Eternity and how the promise of heaven reshapes the way we hope today. As we live between the tension of “now and not yet,” Scripture reminds us that our story doesn’t end with suffering... it ends with restoration. In this episode, I share how the hope of eternity gives us steady, lasting hope for whatever lies ahead. And guess what? My new book, The Fabric of Hope, talks all about this, and it is OUT TODAY!!
