Ep. 49 | Ann White on Courage, Fear, and Coming Out of Hiding

Ep. 48 | When God Allures Us into the Wilderness What if the wilderness isn’t only a place we find ourselves, but sometimes a place God lovingly draws us into? In this solo episode, Sunny takes us into the book of Hosea and a tender picture of God alluring His people into the wilderness to speak tenderly to them. Sometimes we run to things that never satisfy. We blame. We measure God’s goodness by the circumstances around us. But the wilderness can become the very place where the noise quiets and we encounter the heart of the One who loves us most. In this episode, we talk about:

What happens when grief, loss, or sheer weariness collide with the faith you’ve always known? In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Becky McCoy, writer, retreat leader, spiritual director, and author of In the Company of the Weary: Ten Gentle Spiritual Practices for Your Tired Soul.

Today, we're looking back at the women we were at 20—and this conversation got surprisingly emotional. What would you tell your 20-year-old self if you could sit across from her today? Would you correct her? Warn her? Celebrate her? Or maybe finally offer her the kindness and grace you couldn't give her then? We're talking honestly about the choices we made, the things we didn't know, the growth we can finally see, and the ways God was present in our stories long before we understood what He was doing. Because sometimes growth isn't about becoming an entirely different person. Sometimes it's about looking back and realizing that pieces of who God created you to be were there all along. In this episode, we talk about:

Ep. 44 | Would You Rather - Wild Hope Summer Porch Conversations Today we’re inviting you onto the porch with a glass of lemonade for a little something different.
