    Why Hope? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,381 views

    There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves. Sometimes that inner voice is not a voice of faith but of fear. We call it “being realistic” or “practical,” but often it’s just fear baptizing itself as wisdom.
