Many of us protect ourselves from&amp;nbsp;yet another&amp;nbsp;disappointment by distancing ourselves from the very experiences God is inviting us into.  In today\u2019s heartfelt conversation, guest co-host Danielle Grosse and I explore why biblical hope is never a demand to \u201ccheer up\u201d or \u201ctry harder,\u201d but always a gentle, persistent invitation to&amp;nbsp;receive&amp;nbsp;good&amp;nbsp;things&amp;nbsp;\u2014&amp;nbsp;at a pace that feels safe. You\u2019ll learn to&amp;nbsp;notice&amp;nbsp;God\u2019s quiet nudges,&amp;nbsp;release&amp;nbsp;unrealistic expectations, and&amp;nbsp;rest in the hope that meets you right where you are, right now. &amp;nbsp; Links Mentioned:   Episode #293:&amp;nbsp;Come Out of Hiding&amp;nbsp;\u2014&amp;nbsp;Your Invitation to Step Into Healing https:\/\/cherigregory.com\/episode293   Episode #294:&amp;nbsp;Healing at a Gentle Pace \u2014&amp;nbsp;Why We Need Gentle Words &amp;amp; Ample Time https:\/\/cherigregory.com\/episode294\/ Episode #295: NOT a Bait and Switch\u2014What Biblical Hope Looks Like in Real Life https:\/\/cherigregory.com\/episode295\/    Danielle\u2019s book&amp;nbsp;The Boy, the Boxer, and the Yellow Rose: Because You\u2019re Not Lost.
