The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Loving people when it’s hard to love

Do you want to change the world? Do you want to make a difference for God’s kingdom?
Jesus made it clear: the most powerful way to impact the world is by loving others, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, and messy. (John 13:35)
In a culture that’s self-seeking, the way to stand out is by doing the opposite: to pick up a towel, lean low, and wash feet.
But let’s be real—this kind of love is impossible without first understanding and receiving God’s never-ending love for us. We can’t pour out what we haven’t first received. When we understand God’s love for us, the power of His love can be unleashed through us, transforming our world.
If you’re longing to experience that kind of love—one that changes you from the inside out—then today’s episode is for you. We’re diving into how to love people when it’s hard and why this kind of love is truly unstoppable.
P.S. I've put together some incredible resources to help you grow in love this February. Check them out at livingwithpower.org/love

Four ways to prepare your heart for Christmas

As Christmas approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the busyness of the season—decorations, gifts, gatherings. But what if we chose to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the sacred meaning of this time?
In this podcast, I’m sharing a message from Luke 1:26-38, exploring four powerful lessons from Mary’s response to the news of Jesus’ birth. Her example offers us a blueprint for embracing God’s plans with trust and humility in the midst of unexpected circumstances.
This Christmas, let’s intentionally make room for Jesus in our lives, allowing His peace, joy, and love to take root and reign in our hearts.--
