The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

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?

Muddling your way out of the desert of dating [DESERT SERIES #2]

We’re in a podcast series focused on addressing various deserts we might be going through, aiming to understand why God allows them, how He uses them, and what He accomplishes through them.
With Valentine’s Day just about the corner, I wanted this episode to address the desert of singleness and dating and encourage singles with some biblical and practical lessons I’ve learned from my own journey in singleness.
If you’re married or in a relationship, please listen as well. You’ll find plenty of principles that will apply to your life as well!

Grief, the Unwanted but Necessary Companion [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #3]

We cannot live in a broken world and not feel grief. Grief is deep sorrow that is a response to loss and pain, and it’s an emotion we’d rather escape. But Jesus himself was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we can learn from Him that we can grieve and still hold on to hope.
If you’re facing painful circumstances in your life right now, if you struggle to express and deal with painful emotions, or if you wonder how to respond to suffering in a healthy and biblical way, please don’t miss this podcast episode!

Fear, the Greatest Enemy of All [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #2]

Fear is one of the most common negative emotions common to humans and it shows up in a lot of different flavors: we feel worried, anxious, tense, scared, afraid, terrified, panicked, nervous, uneasy, uptight.
Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.
Don’t you wish you could shake it?
While we can’t eradicate fear until Christ returns, we can learn to handle it rightly respond to it biblically. Take a listen!

Why We Feel What We Feel [NEGATIVE EMOTIONS #1]

Have you ever longed for freedom from negative emotions? Do you feel weighed down by unwanted emotions?
We all feel them: fear, anger, grief, shame, loneliness, insecurity… and we long to be free of them. Our feelings are complicated and even when we don’t like them, we can’t escape them. But perhaps we’re not meant to.
What if God gave us our emotions, even our negative emotions to deepen our relationship with Him?
Today I’m launching a new podcast series called I Feel That: Embracing a Biblical Response to My Negative Emotions that I believe will help you engage your emotions in a healthy way and find the freedom you’re longing for.ABOUT:
