Ep. 48 | When God Allures Us Into the Wilderness

Ep. 49 | Ann White on Courage, Fear, and Coming Out of Hiding Sometimes hiding doesn’t look like hiding at all. We can keep showing up, caring for others, and doing what needs to be done while protecting the places in us we’re afraid to let anyone see. In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Ann White, author, speaker, Bible teacher, and founder of Courage For Life, a global ministry focused on biblical courage, healing, and discipleship, including bringing biblical resources to incarcerated women and men. Ann knows this journey firsthand. Her own experience of hiding, recognizing that something needed to change, and allowing God to lead her toward healing became the foundation for Courage For Life and the seven steps of courage she now shares with others. In this conversation, we explore:

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.

What if it’s actually trying to tell us something? In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Karrie Garcia, speaker, licensed life coach, author, and founder of Freedom Movement, for an honest conversation about anger, shame, triggers, and healing. In this conversation, we explore:

Pull up a chair on the porch, pour yourself a glass of lemonade, and hang out with Tammy and Sunny for another Wild Hope Summer Porch Conversation. 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.

We’ve created a Would You Rather conversation starter download just for you! Use these questions with your spouse, friends, family, or even on a road trip.
