SERIES: What Matters Most - Hope In The Now

Everything we’ve read and heard from the time we were small is now challenged by what we’ve been dubbing “The New Normal.”  How do we pick up the pieces and make sense of our lives when the pieces don’t seem to fit any longer?

One of our #WholeLifeTakeAways this week asked: What will you do to increase hope in someone this week? 

So, who came to mind when you read that takeaway and what can you do for them to increase their hope? Send us your questions, comments, or share a way that you’ve been able to increase someone’s hope by using one of the following:
