The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Rest in the midst of chaos [RESOLVED]

One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the gift of rest, yet most of us are intent on living in the chaos.
Chaos is a typical day in the typical life of the typical Christian. But we can be busy without being chaotic. Our days could be packed and not feel out of control. After all, Jesus was busy. His days were jam-packed with ministry and people and demands.
Our aim isn’t to take a vacation to a peaceful destination and refuse to come back as the means to escape chaos. What is far better is to resolve to find rest in the midst of our chaos. And it all starts when we agree to let go of what we think should happen in our lives and yield to God’s perfect place for us: the place of quiet trust.

Hope when life hurts too much [RESOLVED]

Few things will change our world like our resolve to hope when it hurts too much. Few things will radically transform our world like our resolve to believe God when everything screams against Him. Hope has a way of showing up when we’re not looking for it. When it does, anything can happen.
Tune in to today’s podcast—it just might be the spark your soul needs.

Joy no matter what [RESOLVED]

In today’s podcast, you’ll be encouraged to make this powerful resolve: that I will practice gratitude in the face of challenging circumstances and rejoice no matter what, because God is able to act above and beyond my wildest expectations, including raising my dreams from the dead.

Community when I’d rather be alone [RESOLVED]

Our culture is facing an endemic of independence and isolationism like never before. With singleness rates as high as 53 percent of the population, we have become accustomed to living on our own. The effects are not only detrimental but counter to God’s plan for us. It will take some serious resolve to choose God’s way of community when we’ve adjusted to being alone. But no decision will impact your world more than the decision to live in community.

Give when I barely have enough [RESOLVED]

Few things will stick out in our culture like the resolve to pursue a lifestyle of giving generously and sacrificially when it’s unexpected, unnecessary, or uncomfortable. Nothing will point to the worth of the Savior more than our willingness to open our hands and give all that we have for the sake of something bigger than we are, more eternal than we’ll ever be, and far more important than our temporary needs.

Speak up when it’s easier not to [RESOLVED]

You and I have a responsibility. We know the way, the truth, and the life. We have been given grace upon grace. We have been loved and accepted and forgiven and set free. Anyone who has come face-to-face with God’s goodness and embraced it knows that we have a duty—even more, a privilege—to share this truth with others.
It’s easier to stay silent. It’s easier to aim for acceptance. It’s easier to hide in the shadows hoping that someone else, somewhere else, will be the one to speak the truth.
But if we really believe what we say we believe, then we have a duty as followers of Jesus Christ to speak the truth when it’s easier not to. Anything less than that is stark disbelief.

Yield when it’s my right [RESOLVED]

Fundamentally, the call to discipleship is a call to yield. It’s a call to self-denial. It’s a call to say “you go first” even when it might be our right to go first.
This is what it means to be a Christian, a fully surrendered follower of Jesus. It’s a radical all-in total takeover of who you are with no turning back. Anything remotely close to this will demand your unwavering resolve and the belief that God is the only treasure worth selling everything for.
If you’re serious about changing your world for Christ, and if you’re serious about living what you say you believe, then it’s time to resolve to yield to God in every detail of your life—in the big things and the small.

Obey when it’s not popular [RESOLVED]

One of my favorite sayings is this: Your walk talks and your talk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks. Simply stated, obedience is walking the talk. It’s moving past words to action. It’s actually living out what you say you believe.
What would our world look like if every follower of Jesus Christ resolved to obey God, especially when it’s not popular? How would our world be different if every one of us resolved to live by faith, walking the talk and not just talking the talk, and refused to give in to our personal appetites?
Today is a chance for you to resolve afresh to obey God, no matter what.
