Women’s Lenten Day of Reflection

Clinging to Hope In A Broken World

In a world prone to either despair or mere positive thinking, hope is a misunderstood virtue. Where do we find it and how do we cultivate it?
Can we be honest about the darkness and brokenness we face and yet anchor our lives in the hope found only in Jesus Christ?
Haley shares how she clung to hope through one of the darkest seasons of her life and guides us to see that hope is different from optimism;
that affliction produces endurance and endurance, character, when it is grounded in hope.
