What happens when you say yes to God - and it turns your whole life upside down? In this powerful episode, Dr. Greg sits down with Jake and Heather Kim, two of the featured speakers at the upcoming Summit of Integration, to talk about marriage, mission, and radical trust. With honesty, humor, and deep wisdom, they unpack what it means to follow the Holy Spirit through seasons of change, simplicity, and surrender - while staying rooted in love, relationship, and the everyday reality of family life.

In this episode, we talk about Pope Francis' Bull of Indiction on the Jubilee Year of Hope! A Jubilee year occurs once every 25 years and it is a year set apart and consecrated just for our Lord. We chat about what it looks like to be pilgrims of hope, especially in the places where we have deep sorrows or unfulfilled desires. We reflect on how we can bring these tender places to our Lord and let them be illuminated, so He can redeem and restore the light of hope in our lives. Keeping our hearts open to hope can be painful and crucifying. But when we enter into this pilgrimage, we are transformed in the light of hope.   Heather's One Thing - The Podcast Burning Hearts with Rachel Herbeck  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Heather's Acoustic Worship Spotify Playlist Michelle's One Thing - Jubilee by Maverick City Music   Other Resources Mentioned:  In Defense of Hope a talk by Jackie Hill Perry   Announcement: Join us for our Lenten Study beginning March 5th, 2025 as we journey through “Jesus and the Jubilee: The Biblical Roots of the Year of God's Favor“ by Dr. John Bergsma.

When have you experienced the buoyancy and freedom of hope? How is Christ inviting you to hope this year? How does your hopelessness impact your understanding of the character of God?   Quotes to Ponder: "Begin again with hope."
