Sometimes all we have is hope. Romans says that alone is worth celebrating. If we find ourselves in a troubled time, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us the gift of hope. Its never too late for things to turn around. So, we remain patient and prayerful that Immanuel, God with us, will come through.
When we embrace the truth about ourselves, hope settles in and we can befriend the unknown, the invisible and the unpredictable.
The Hope that we have in Jesus is a greater hope than we can have in anything in this world. But what makes it different? Join us as we begin the season of Advent by exploring how Jesus brought a new kind of hope to the world.

Even though symptoms and conditions are always unique, there is one thing most people who've recently been diagnosed with a difficult condition have in common: the search for hope and answers to many questions. Today's guest, Jonny Imerman, has made it his life mission to bridge that gap; through his non-profit, Imerman Angels, Jonny has connected thousands of cancer survivors with recently diagnosed cancer patients. After getting diagnosed with cancer at 26 and going through years of complicated treatments and surgeries, Jonny found purpose and meaning in his traumatic experience by helping others. Through Immerman's Angels, he helps those in the thick of it (including caregivers) navigate the uncertainties of a difficult reality, changing lives through human connection. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of opening up during trying times, overcoming survivor's guilt, and the joy that comes from helping others. And as a helpful reminder: don't forget to schedule your annual check-ups, they could help save your life. Key Takeaways with Jonny Imerman How yearly check-ups can save your life Finding purpose, meaning, and positivity in a difficult journey Spreading hope through survivor stories The life-changing power of genuine connection Seeking guidance through mentorship The joy in guiding others through difficult times Understanding survivor's guilt Opening up as a way to process a difficult experience Connecting with caregivers going through similar journeys Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/72.
