HOPE is Here

Four Steps Toward Overcoming Failure

In this episode, Greg uses the acronym, F.A.I.L, to explain four ways people experience failure.  Then, with God’s word, shares ways to overcome these experiences.  Colossians 3:13

How to Rid Yourself of Negative Thoughts

Do you find yourself getting stuck hitting the rewind button on failures that have happened to you?  If so, today’s show is just for you.  Greg shares some divine wisdom from the Bible to reassure you you’re not alone; that God and Jesus can help.  Luke 18:27, Matthew 11:28-30, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 4:13, Philippians 4:19 

Where Do You Draw Strength?

In today’s show, we will continue with the topic of maintaining a positive attitude during stressful times.   We talked about Paul’s words at 2 Corinthians 12:10.   He knew he had to rely on God’s strength, not his own.   Philippians 4:13, Romans 8:31, 37, Galatians 6:9, Exodus 14:14, Romans 15:13

Are Your Failures Causing You to be Better or Bitter?

There a 100% chance you will have failures in your life.  It happens.  It’s part of life.  School teaches how to succeed in life, but it fails in teaching us how to handle failures.  But it doesn’t have to immobilize you.  Today’s show offers encouragement and ways to move past those failures and toward forgiveness and hopefulness.    2 Corinthians 12:10

Healing from the Past

Last week we learned about what causes painful memories.  In this episode Greg talks solutions.  He shares three ways that helped him heal wounds from his past that enabled him to move forward.   He strongly encourages you to seek counseling, if necessary.  Some wounds from the past may need special attention for the healing to begin.  If you’ve been down the counseling road but just seem stuck, this episode may help.  Scriptures shared during this show:  Hebrews 12:1-3, Matthew 11:28

Are you Stuck in the Past?

Often we get stuck dwelling on failures or mistakes from our past.  It’s easy to lose hope on what's on the road ahead when you’re focused on the rearview window.  Philippians 3:13 is strong encouragement to forget the past.  And know that you can transform yourself by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2.  Greg shares his thoughts about what causes these painful memories that, in turn, causes us to lose hope.  He refers to John 10:10, Ephesians 5:15, 17, John 16:33.  Remember that whatever happened in the past, God has not forgotten you.  He never leaves you.  Next week we’ll talk about how we can heal our past.  Take the words of Romans 15:13 to heart, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.”

How to Feel F.R.E.E.

Would you like to feel more hopeful?   If so, listen as Greg explains the acronym F.R.E.E.; a great tool to use to help bring you back into a state of hopefulness.  Follow along in your own Bible as Greg shares the following scriptures:  Psalms 46:10, Proverbs 3:5-6, Jeremiah 29:11,  Romans 8:28, Psalms 28:7.

Faith, HOPE, Love

In this episode, Greg shares stories of individuals who feel they are alone in their personal struggles.   They look fine on the outside, but inside they are dying.   Everyone is struggling with some issue.  And it is easy to get discouraged and lose hope because you think you’re alone.  You’re not!   Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said, “It takes no courage to be an optimist, but it takes a great deal of courage to have hope.”    We dig a little deeper into 1 Corinthians 13:13, a popular scripture read at weddings about faith, hope and love.   Greg shares a great quote by John Eldredge from his book, All Things New.  “ . . . a life without faith has no meaning, a life without love isn’t worth living, a life without hope is a dark cavern from which you cannot escape . . . faith, hope & love are mighty forces . . . hope is the most critical role.”   Remember what Hebrews 6:19 says, “Hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls" There are many ways to build hope.  Tune in to next week's episode to learn how you can F.R.E.E. yourself from discouragement and build a life full of hope.
