Fighting for Hope w Kirby Kelly

About this episode

Kirby Kelly discusses her book and the complexities of grief and hope in faith.

This week, the girls sit down with good friend Kirby Kelly. Kirby shares about her book The Fabric of Open & opens up about walking through grief both with & without hope. Together, they unpack the misconception that a “blessed” life means everything is going well, & how hardship is often wrongly seen as a sign of failure in faith. They remind us that God is still good even in the hard & that our circumstances don’t define His character. Scripture tells us that the testing of our faith produces perseverance, & through it all, we can experience His presence in a deeper way. True hope is found when our focus shifts off ourselves & onto Jesus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
