The First Seven Episodes

It is hard to believe that we have already uploaded seven episodes of The Hope Podcast. We want to thank everyone for taking time to listen to the podcast - we truly appreciate it!

I am honored to be working and create each episode with our son Scott. I have often wanted to find something that we could work on together and this is it! Thanks Scott for all you have done to turn this vision into a reality. You are doing an awesome job and I love working with you!

The Hope Podcast is simply a vehicle whereby I have taken my story and turned it into something to offer hope to others. I shared in the first episode that I struggle with anxiety and depression, so the first four episodes laid the foundation for the podcast. I have also been blessed by those who have been interviewed. Bridget Wint, Thomas Loman and Tom and Tamara Miller have shared their stories of pain, depression, sadness, lost, and then re-discovered hope. I appreciated their transparency. They each affirm that their hope rests also in Jesus. I also appreciate the lessons I am learning along the way. One is that many who struggle with anxiety and depression do not need another lecture about having more faith. Instead, they need someone to sit and listen. That has also been true in my own life.

 It has also been amazing to see where our listening audience is located. From the United States, to Africa, to Europe and also Saudia Arabia. It is awesome to watch God use this technology to spread the story of how He gives us hope.

We invite you to continue the journey with us. And, we also encourage you pray that many more will discover hope through the podcast. That, after all, is why it exists.

Warm Regards,

Jim Leary
