  <title>174. Why Hope IS a Strategy</title>
  <description>Key&amp;amp;nbsp;Conversation Points:  The Bible says humans plan their course but God directs their paths. We as a people believe in needing to be rescued, even though it's utterly vulnerable and uncomfortable.&amp;amp;nbsp; C.S. Lewis writes in Mere Christianity, &amp;quot;Hope is one of the theological virtues...hope is not a form of wishful thinking or escapism.&amp;quot; Does hope mean for you as it does in the Hebrew translation, the cord that binds you to God? Your mind will be blown by how it connects to Rahab!&amp;amp;nbsp; Christ is holding us and he is the rope. If we let go, He won't.&amp;amp;nbsp; In 1 Corinthians 13 it says faith, hope and love remains.&amp;amp;nbsp; We can't dismiss it.&amp;amp;nbsp; Hope is eternal.&amp;amp;nbsp; Hope isn't a feeling. God wants Shalom in us.&amp;amp;nbsp;  Friends, please take a moment to subscribe to the show and leave us a review!
