The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Unshaken faith when I’m alone in my pain [UNSHAKEN 20]

As we look at a man accustomed with pain and loneliness in today’s podcast, I believe our perspective on the difficult seasons of our life will change.
Job’s response to the pain in his life will encourage us to look at our difficult circumstances through the lens of who God is and see that the best days are yet to come because we serve a God who is good, faithful, who sets the seasons of our life and who appoints that which concerns us.
May we, like Job, declare in the midst of our pain that “when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.” – Job 23:10

Unshaken faith when my dreams feel too big [UNSHAKEN 19]

Do you have a God-given dream? Why does God take His time to fulfill the dream He’s put on your heart? Why does your dream bring with it deep opposition?
In Nehemiah 1 we encounter a man who has a dream that is bigger than himself and impossible to accomplish without God. As we look at this story, we will learn from Nehemiah what it takes to accomplish God-seized dreams.
As you listen to this episode, my prayer is that the Lord will awaken in you those dreams that feel too big, too daring, and that demand your faith in His greatness.

Unshaken faith when I can’t see God clearly [UNSHAKEN 18]

Are you surrounded by an enemy who seems too strong for you? Do you feel overwhelmed by fear in the face of your trials? Do you struggle to believe that God is good when you can’t see Him clearly at work in your life?
The way we respond to the battles we’re facing is often influenced by what we choose to focus on. Do we look at the obvious enemy or at the spiritual reality of who is with us? Do we fix our eyes on what is visible or on God and His promises, no matter how things look on the outside?
Listen to today’s podcast on 2 Kings 6 and find out how Elisha could remain confident in the face of an undefeatable enemy and how you too can stand strong in faith no matter what.

Unshaken faith when I desperately need a miracle [UNSHAKEN 17]

While we might not like to be in need and unable to fix our problems, it is in those moments that if we turn to God, He can come through and do what only He can do.
I believe we all have areas in our life where we desperately need a miracle. In 2 Kings 4:1-7 we encounter a widow who knew that her only chance to get out of her difficult circumstance was a miracle. This episode will show us why and how she was able to experience God at work in a powerful way.
I hope this podcast will remind you of who God is and invite you to believe Him for the miracle you need.

Unshaken faith when the river dries up [UNSHAKEN #15]

In 1 Kings 17 we encounter the prophet Elijah announcing a great draught that will have an adverse impact on the whole land of Israel. As a result, he must rely on the provision of the Lord for survival, but even the brook he is led to by God dries up soon enough.
What in your life looks like it’s drying up right now?
Are you confused when the obedience in your life leads to suffering?
What is God doing in us when he allows us to go through difficult seasons?
In today’s podcast we will see how God is at work through our greatest struggles to make us into the persons He can entrust with greater power and kingdom impact.

Unshaken faith when God’s will becomes confusing [UNSHAKEN #14]

Today we’re returning to a teaching series on unshaken faith where we look at stories of men and women in the Bible who in the midst of their trials learned to stand unshaken no matter what. (You can listen to previous episodes here).
Have you ever felt God’s will to be confusing in your life? How do you respond when you start out thinking God has called you to something and things don’t end up turning out like you thought they would?
Look with me today to David’s story in 1 Samuel 22 and see that although God’s will might look confusing sometimes, He is constant, steady, in control and is simply using the pain and disappointment in our life to propel us to the next chapter in our story.

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).
