Thia was puzzled. Why was his eighteen-year-old son spending so much time in the library these days? His son, who was autistic and rarely spoke to anyone, would usually return straight home after class. What changed? When pressed, his son finally replied: “Studying with Navin.” Navin, it turned out, was a classmate who noticed that Thia’s son was struggling in class and invited him to study together. This budding friendship—the first in eighteen years—greatly encouraged the disheartened father who’d given up hope of his son ever having a friend. Hope was renewed because one person cared enough to come alongside another who needed help. In Paul’s ministry to the early church, he knew this also applied to our hope of salvation. For believers in Jesus to “be awake and sober” (1 Thessalonians 5:6), living in the hope of His return, they had to help one another (v. 11), especially those who were struggling. That’s why, even though the Thessalonian believers loved one another (4:10) and led lives that pleased God (v. 1), Paul reminded them to “encourage the disheartened, help the weak” (5:14). When we notice believers in Christ who are fearful, anxious, or despondent, and we come alongside them—whether to listen, offer a kind word, or sit quietly together—God can use us to give them the strength and courage to hold on to their hope in Jesus.

I want to meet the family."He: נעמי הרגישה הקלה בליבה.En: Naomi felt relief in her heart.He: היא ידעה שעזרה לאלי לקחת את הצעד הראשון לקראת עתיד טוב יותר.En: She knew she had helped Eli take the first step toward a better future.He: היא גם הבינה שהיא עצמה יכולה לשחרר את העבר ולהתחיל מחדש.En: She also realized she could let go of the past and start anew herself.He: כך עמדו יחד, ילד קטן ואשה עם לב גדול, בעיצומו של חג ספוג תיקווה.En: Thus they stood together, a little boy and a woman with a big heart, in the midst of a holiday filled with hope.He: והם כיוונו אל העתיד, מלאים באופטימיות וגאווה על הדרך שעשו יחד.En: And they looked toward the future, filled with optimism and pride for the journey they had shared together.

As women navigate the stages of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, they encounter a myriad of obstacles affecting every aspect of their lives. From exhaustion and stress to weight gain and sleepless nights, these issues impact their ability to thrive both mentally and physically. These women will be on a panel discussion at the upocmoing Empower Conference.

Dr. Plucknett, Patricia Cummings, and Christie Estadt work synergistically to uncover the root causes of these issues and provide personalized strategies for each woman's journey towards optimal wellness. Take a listen as we embark on a transformative journey, empowering women to take charge of their health, reclaim their vitality, and thrive in every facet of their lives.

Here's Tim sharing from Revelation 21:1-8 as we worshipped, prayed and marked Remembrance Day together.

Today, we'll be addressing a critical issue for Christian leaders, especially over the last few years. We're talking about burnout. In my own coaching work with leaders, individually and in groups, I've perhaps never seen the level of burnout that I'm witnessing these days.  That's why I'm glad to be talking with Sean Nemecek about his new book, The Weary Leader's Guide to Burnout. You're going to find this helpful, whether you find yourself at that level of depletion or not.  Sean Nemecek is the West Michigan Regional Director for Pastor-in-Residence Ministries and a co-host of the Hope Renewed podcast. Sean is a third generation pastor. He served as a pastor for 18 years before joining PIR. Now, Sean coaches pastors through ministry issues, conflict, forced exit, transitions, and burnout. He also consults with churches and leadership on sabbatical planning, work culture, and pastoral support. His blog, The Pastor's Soul (pastorsoul.com), teaches churches and pastors how to invest in the pastor's joy for the good of the church. Sean has been married to Amy for over 25 years. Connect with Sean on Instagram or LinkedInConnect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website. 

In the uncertain and changing world we live in we find a desperate search for hope. The key is to have a true hope, a hope anchored to the right source. If you place your hope in the present world, your wealth, or the people in your life, you will be disappointed. But there is a hope that God gives, which like the rising sun brightens your path.

Navigating pastoral transitions is challenging even in the best of circumstances. Having perspective, guidance, encouragement and help can make all the difference in not only where you're going, but how well you'll get there. In this episode of Hope Renewed, Matt Steen of PIR ministry partner Chemistry Staffing sits down with us to talk about the realities of pastoral transition and how to best find your way through them. RESOURCES Chemistry Staffing Website

Let's face it...ministry is hard. And at times it's hard in ways we never thought it would be, and for which we were never really prepared. So many of the day-in and day-out realities - the practical nuts-and-bolts of ministry - can leave us tired, frustrated or wondering if we're even fulfilling God's call. And sometimes it can make us feel very alone. Brian Croft joins us on Hope Renewed to talk about finding hope in the midst of the every-day-ness of ministry and where we can find strength for the practical aspects of our call to shepherd God's flock. Resources Practical Shepherding website

On today's episode, Alan sits down with Pastor and Author Sean Nemecek for a much needed conversation about pastoral burnout, criticism, and sabbaticals for pastors.

Finding hope to address ministry pain is challenging. For women in ministry - or married to those who are - it can be especially so. Finding a place of understanding, safety and healing can be elusive. That's why we're so excited to share in this episode of Hope Renewed a powerful conversation we had with Kristen Joy, founder of The Ministry Wife Coach. Her deeply informed and passionate approach to resourcing women in ministry provides a much needed place of hope for those impacted by the confusion, pain and even trauma of ministry exits. Her story of finding grace in the midst of woundedness gives a strong foundation of leading others to healing. Resources Kristen's Website

This lesson explores the idea of hope in the framework of Christ as our hope now and down the road.  Biblical hope is defined, then the theme is developed as follows: (1) valid hope is biblical hope, (2) how to sustain hope in the midst of disappointments and difficulties, (3) how to develop biblical hope, and (4) hope means doing our part.  The lesson concludes with an invitation to respond to the message.

It' no secret that pastoral ministry is demanding and requires much from those who engage in it. Practicing good self-care is a must to stay healthy in ministry. But how do you know when you've crossed a line from the normal wear and tear of ministry life into more dangerous areas of damaging fatigue, debilitating anxiety and loss of effectiveness? How do you know when burnout is present? In this important episode of Hope Renewed, we explore the work Sean has done in recognizing burnout in the life of the pastor, and where to find recovery and hope. Having a clear and simple way to begin understanding how burnout may be effecting you (or others!) could be just the lifeline to hope you've been looking for!

Numbers 20 was filled with heartache. Thankfully, all did not remain dark for chapter 21 contains a great deal of encouragement. Though it recounts a sinful episode (vv. 4–9), it nonetheless also contains grace and forgiveness, military conquest, gracious divine provision, a song of celebration, and a wonderful fulfilment of prophecy. All things considered, this chapter is thematically about hope and new beginnings. Its theme is hope renewed.

A Hope Renewed, a Faith Rekindled, and a Love Restored.
