  <title>Episode #296: Why Biblical Hope is Always an Invitation, Never a Demand</title>
  <description>Do you sometimes say “no” to hope … without even realizing it? Many of us protect ourselves from&amp;amp;nbsp;yet another&amp;amp;nbsp;disappointment by distancing ourselves from the very experiences God is inviting us into.  In today’s heartfelt conversation, guest co-host Danielle Grosse and I explore why biblical hope is never a demand to “cheer up” or “try harder,” but always a gentle, persistent invitation to&amp;amp;nbsp;receive&amp;amp;nbsp;good&amp;amp;nbsp;things&amp;amp;nbsp;—&amp;amp;nbsp;at a pace that feels safe. You’ll learn to&amp;amp;nbsp;notice&amp;amp;nbsp;God’s quiet nudges,&amp;amp;nbsp;release&amp;amp;nbsp;unrealistic expectations, and&amp;amp;nbsp;rest in the hope that meets you right where you are, right now. &amp;amp;nbsp; Links Mentioned:   Episode #293:&amp;amp;nbsp;Come Out of Hiding&amp;amp;nbsp;—&amp;amp;nbsp;Your Invitation to Step Into Healing https://cherigregory.com/episode293   Episode #294:&amp;amp;nbsp;Healing at a Gentle Pace —&amp;amp;nbsp;Why We Need Gentle Words &amp;amp;amp; Ample Time https://cherigregory.com/episode294/ Episode #295: NOT a Bait and Switch—What Biblical Hope Looks Like in Real Life https://cherigregory.com/episode295/    Danielle’s book&amp;amp;nbsp;The Boy, the Boxer, and the Yellow Rose: Because You’re Not Lost.
