The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Soul Sisters #3: Rage Age

We can all agree, we are living in a rage age. Whether on the road, on social media, in political discourse, in the church or among friends, it seems we have lost the virtues of kindness, humility, and self-control, and replaced them with accepting, respecting, and even encouraging outbursts of emotion in the name of being “right.”
But a quick search about what the Scripture says about anger will point out that anger is not the way of a Christ-follower, not even when clearly wronged.
On today’s podcast we will talk about how to become counter-cultural when it comes to rage, how to recognize righteous anger from sinful anger, how to change and be Spirit-led, and how to harness anger for positive action.

Dear Lina: I feel disconnected from my church. Is it me or is it the state of the church?

Many people in the U.S. are struggling right now with feeling disconnected from the church.
The reasons might be many. Maybe because of COVID, maybe because our way of life changed to a much more virtual reality, maybe because the state of affairs in the church has been troubled for some time, or maybe because we disengaged from the church.
How shall we recognize the cause of our disconnection from the church and how can we find the remedy?
Friend, I will frame today’s episode by asking three questions I’d like you to consider as you think about your relationship to your local church. I trust this will be helpful and encouraging!

Dear Lina: Is The Bachelorette consistent with godly character or virtues?

On today’s podcast I’ll be answer this question from one of our listeners: Dear Lina, lately I’ve noticed that Christian leaders have pointed to role models in The Bachelorette. I’m confused. Is The Bachelorette consistent with godly character or virtues?

How can I determine if a closed door is opposition or God’s call for me to persevere in faith?

Have you ever wondered what the closed doors in your life mean and what you are supposed to do when facing them? Thankfully the Scripture is full of examples of closed doors in the face of obedience, and I believe they can help us frame our understanding of how to view the closed doors in our lives.

Dear Lina: Why do I always feel like God is unhappy with me when bad things happen in my life?

All of us wonder at some point why difficult things happen when a loving God is in control or when His word promises so many blessings in this life, and it’s easy to question God’s favor or if He even cared when we go through sufferings.
But to associate God’s favor only with the good things in our life is a form of prosperity gospel that must be rooted out of our thinking. Take a listen!

Dear Lina: What should I do when God seems silent?

If you’re wondering why God is silent, what to do in seasons of waiting, or how to recognize if God is speaking, you’ve come to the right place! This podcast will encourage you to take God up on His promise that He will answer when we call upon Him, but also to welcome seasons of silence as meaningful tools God uses for our growth.
