Good morning and welcome to the Kirk Camer Show. I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did. Well,

I'm not a pastor. I'm not a politician. I've been in the acting and media business for a long time,

but I'm a husband and I'm a father and a Christian and I want to see great things for the future of our country and I want to honor God.

In this episode, we're going to talk about how hope can be your greatest strength

or your biggest heartbreak. False hope will crush you, but real hope will carry you through

your life. So are you hoping in things that amount to just wishful thinking, or is your hope

anchored in something you can trust

and depend on for the rest of your life? Let's talk about it and don't forget to subscribe to this

channel so you never miss an episode. For the believer in Christ, for someone who has abiding faith in God, hope is not the dream that you hope will come

true. It's about a confident expectation of what you know is true that will anchor and guide your

life. This is something that the run-of-the-mill person just can't have because while

they can hope, they don't have the ability to hope in the thing that will actually bring them

the satisfaction and security that they so desperately want. This is a gift that we get when we come in humility and faith to

Almighty God. As human beings, we constantly speak in the language of hope. Think about it. You say,

well, I hope it doesn't rain today, or I hope the stuff at work goes well, or I hope she's not

mad at me, or I hope that my husband will not be angry and he will see

the value of me again today. We say, I hope this sickness does not turn out to be serious and

overwhelm us. We talk about hope like it's the very thing that we breathe. We need it like we need oxygen. My dad always says this.

Everybody is on the hope train. It's the big train that takes you through life and everybody's on it.

We need hope like we need air. Without it will suffocate. It's part of what it means to be human.

So the question is not whether or not you're hopeful. I'm hopeful. I know that you're hopeful.

Everybody's hopeful. The man on the street whose homeless is hopeful. The little child is hopeful.
