About this episode

Chet Gladkowski discusses the impact of limiting hope on personal faith and relationships with God.

What if the way you learned to protect your heart… is the very thing limiting your future? In this week’s episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Chet Gladkowski to unpack a story that begins with silence, survival, and a quiet decision many don’t even realize they’ve made: To stop hoping… so they won’t be disappointed. But what happens when that mindset follows you into adulthood, into your faith, and even into your relationship with God? And more importantly—what does it take to break it? This conversation goes deeper than surface-level encouragement. It exposes the subtle ways pain, family history, and lived experiences shape how we see God, ourselves, and what we believe is possible. If you’ve ever felt like: You believe in God… but still struggle with expectation You’ve been in a long “in-between” season Or you’ve quietly lowered your hope just to avoid disappointment Then this episode is for you. There is a difference between surviving life… and living with true hope. And what you’ll hear in this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about both.
