About this episode
Psychologists distinguish optimism—expecting the best—from hope, which helps us endure challenges, act with purpose, and keep moving toward a goal. That distinction matters when so much of today’s news involves problems far beyond our ability to solve. Scripture offers a form of hope that does not depend on circumstances improving or on our own sufficiency. And John Newton’s remarkable transformation offers a powerful picture of what that hope can make possible.
