The Greatest Adventure is His Presence.
The Hope Adventure is a space for you to dream and create and be and adventure together with God… into all sorts of unknown places. We’ll share stories of hope, joy, laughter, presence, trial, and triumph of God at work in and through us and around the world. We’ll laugh (a lot hopefully!) and cry (sometimes), too. And we’ll talk about ways to keep Him central in all things. His Presence will carry us through.
His language is love and hope is his heartbeat. Romans 5:2 says, “I will boast in the HOPE of the glory of God.” His Presence, His voice, His nearness with us in all things is the aroma of HOPE for our lives.
This space is just as much yours as it is mine, so come along. Be my travel companion. It’s way more fun to do this with other people like yourself.
Join and the adventure and subscribe to the show now.
