The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Why is this happening to me (Philippians 1:12-18)

Why is this happening to me? Ever asked that question? I have! Whether I’m stuck in traffic or on the line with a customer service rep, it seems like life affords me plenty of opportunities to ask why. And as annoying as some days in life can be, the reality is that other days are just plain hard. It’s easy to wonder why. Why has God allowed me to go through this?
 
If anyone could have asked why, it was the apostle Paul. Here was this guy who had given his life to Jesus, and given his soul to others, and found himself stuck in a prison cell. In today’s lesson, we’re going to see why it never even occurred to Paul to ask why. He was too busy living pointing to Jesus. He was too busy making each moment count for the Lord. I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of untouchable joy that my heart longs for.

On culture (The ONE Thing Series #9)

Welcome back to the podcast! Today we’re talking about a tension every Christian feels—fitting into the culture around us versus surrendering fully to God.
So how do we do it? How do we resist the pressure to redefine sin, truth, and love on culture’s terms? And how do we surrender to God in a way that impacts, changes, and redeems the world around us?
That’s the conversation we’re diving into today.

On leadership (The ONE Thing Series #8)

Godly leadership isn’t about titles or strategies—it’s about following God. In this episode, we explore what it takes to lead with a heart aligned to Him: being called by God, caring deeply for people, walking in consistent character, staying in communion with Him, and relying on His wisdom over worldly methods.

On sexuality (The ONE Thing Series #7)

This week’s episode unpacks one big idea about sexuality you can’t afford to miss: there is grace for your sexual sin. Whether you’re wrestling with shame, regret, or confusion, this teaching will point you back to the hope and freedom found in Jesus.

On success (The ONE Thing Series #6)

Do you long for success?
In this week’s teaching, we’ll explore what it truly means to be successful in God’s eyes. Jesus never rebuked His disciples for wanting to be great—but He redefined greatness in a way that turns the world’s definition upside down.
Discover how God measures success, why it looks so different from the culture around us, and how you can step into the kind of greatness He desires. God isn’t against ambition—He wants to accomplish great things through you.

On identity [The ONE Thing Series #4]

Are you having trouble getting along with people? Struggling with constant comparison, conflict, or the need for approval?
This week’s One Thing is all about identity—and how understanding who you truly are in Christ changes everything.
Your vertical identity—who you are before God—will always drive your horizontal impact—how you relate to others. If you're rooted in God’s truth about you, you’ll stop needing validation from people who can’t give what only God can.
In this episode, Lina unpacks the false identities we often carry (like perfectionist, failure, or self-sufficient) and reminds us that our true worth is found in one place alone: being a child of God.
