What happens when what we’re hoping for… doesn’t happen?

In this episode of Our Journey to Hope, we explore the powerful difference between hoping for something and hoping in Someone. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3–5, we’re reminded that while our circumstances may change, our hope does not have to.

It’s natural to hope for better days, restored relationships, or answers to prayer. But when our hope is tied only to outcomes, it can feel fragile and uncertain. God offers something deeper—a living hope anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Join us as we discover how shifting our focus from what we’re hoping for to who we’re hoping in brings stability, peace, and confidence—no matter what we face.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged when life didn’t unfold the way you expected, this episode will gently remind you: your hope is not lost… it’s secure.

Because true hope isn’t found in outcomes—it’s found in Christ.

In this episode we share the powerful and faith-filled story of John Holley, Dean of Technology at Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Alabama—a man whose life reflects resilience, purpose, and unwavering trust in the Lord.

John’s journey through cancer was not just a battle for health, but a walk of faith. In the midst of uncertainty, God met him with strength, peace, and a deeper sense of hope. Today, as a survivor and a brother in Christ, John continues to live out that hope—encouraging others through both his testimony and his leadership.

Serving in higher education, John invests daily in the lives of students, helping them build their futures while quietly pointing to something greater—faith that endures and hope that carries us through life’s hardest seasons.

This episode is a reminder that hope is not found in the absence of trials, but in the presence of God through them.

No matter the journey, no one walks alone—and hope is always within reach.

In this episode I'm speaking with Mark and Krista Lawley. Mark and Krista are "preppers". That's someone who has a future view of being prepared for the unexpected, or perhaps the expected depending on one's view. They also understand the concept of hope and how it too is a forward looking concept.

I invite you to join us in this conversation as we look at hope from a prepper's perspective.
