The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

When I feel overwhelmed [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #8]

We all face overwhelming circumstances in our life that make us feel afraid, trapped, helpless, uncertain if we can make it much longer. 
Do you feel like your problems are bigger than your abilities? Does it seem like your enemies are stronger than your allies? Are your emotions heavier that you can process?
King Jehoshaphat can relate. In 2 Chronicles 20 we’re told about the time when he got news about an army coming against him and his people, an army he knew he could not win against on his own. He felt overwhelmed, and rightly so. But his response in this situation is remarkable and teaches us some powerful truths about how to deal with our own challenges.
Take a listen to today’s podcast, and may you be reminded of who is with you, and that you are not powerless when your eyes are on God (2 Chron. 20:12).

Insecurity, the fruit of self-worship [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #7]

Have you ever wondered if God can really use you? Have you ever told yourself that you’re not strong enough, equipped enough, resourced enough? You’re not alone.
We all wrestle with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, but the truth is we don’t need todepend as much on our own abilities than on God’s calling and presence with us.
Today’s podcast will encourage you to stop working harder, and start depending more.

Loneliness – the real epidemic of our day [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #6]

Loneliness is the silent soul killer and the real epidemic of our day, but the truth is we are never left alone!
Though we might be looking for the resolution of our loneliness through other people or activities, God will heal us through the awareness of His presence with us.
If you’re in a season of loneliness, I believe this episode will comfort you and point you to the only relationship that will meet our loneliness.ABOUT:

Rage Age [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #5]

Anger. We all feel it and have experienced its destructive force. But how can we get angry and not sin? How can we cultivate more kindness, humility, and self-control? How can we use anger constructively?
In today’s podcast we’re continuing our series on Negative Emotions where we explore the more difficult emotions we’d rather escape. We will look at how to engage your emotions in a healthy and biblically sound way and find the freedom we’re longing for.

Learning from our desert fathers [DESERT SERIES #6]

The desert seasons are common in the Christian life. In fact, a careful look at Scripture reveals that no one was mightily used by God until that person became deeply acquainted with the desert.
In Hebrews 11 we encounter several men and women who faced incredibly difficult circumstances, yet they were not moved to despair by the things they faced in this world.
These desert fathers and mothers remind us of some principles that will help us see the desert not as a place to escape from but as God’s intentional place to accomplish His purposes in us.
Take a listen! Hope is awakened as we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

Four habits you need in the desert of temptation [DESERT SERIES #5]

As long as we live in corruptible bodies, we’re going to face the desert of temptation. Sometimes we’re even going to stumble. The greatest saints have despaired over their propensity toward temptation even in their old days.
Even so, we don’t have to throw in the towel and simply give in. Jesus modeled for us how to battle temptation and live victoriously, and we are called to follow His example.
In today’s podcast I invite you to learn and apply four habits that will help you overcome the desert of temptation. I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode!ABOUT:

Hearing God’s voice in the desert of His silence [DESERT SERIES #4]

One of the most common deserts we go through is the desert of God’s silence.
What do we do when we get a sense that God has forgotten us, leaving us feeling isolated and confused? What do we do when we’ve felt stuck in a spiritual desert for such a long time, we have begun to doubt God exists at all? What do we do when God is silent?
Today’s podcast will remind you that although God might be silent, He is not absent. And although He might fail to respond in the way and timing we desire, He is inviting us to a walk of trust and submission to His ways.

Navigating the Christian life in the desert of community [DESERT SERIES #3]

Community and connection are no longer a given. We’re living in an era where our work, “social life,” relationships, and even church is done on a device. We don’t reach out to, relate to, or do life together, in person, with others any longer.
We can blame it on Instagram, TikTok, Covid, church leadership failure, or simply cultural influences, but there is no doubt that more and more people feel lonely even as we’re more “connected” than ever before.
How do we navigate the desert of community as believers, knowing that community is what we were created for, but also realizing the real challenges to building community nowadays?
