Open Me: Uncomfortable hope with Rachel Gardner
Many will be watching world events unfold with great anxiety, fear and sadness. 'Hope' is hard to conjure when life is so chaotic and the future so seemingly uncertain. Youth leaders for example, are already having to completely reimagine their lives and work on a practical level, amidst the emotional struggle that widespread social isolation and panic present. Where does God, and a Christian vision of 'hope' fit in to all of this?
