So we’re gearing up for a December series on hope at Connexus.  Here’s the tension for the series:  Everywhere I turn in the Bible I read about hope, and yet hope seems so absent for so many Christians and those who don’t believe.

I twittered about hope last week and got a surprising number of DMs and even email messages from people who struggle with hope.

I’d love to open the conversation more widely today and hear what you have to say (of course, you can DM or create a pseudonym here on the blog too).

Some questions:

What makes you lose hope?

What makes you hopeful?

How do you remain hopeful in tough circumstances?

How fragile do you feel hope is in your life right now?  What’s making it fragile?

Could you share some stories and thoughts?  I find these real life stories so helpful when writing a series, and – as always, the series will be available to everyone free on www.connexuscommunity.com and on iTunes. 

Love to hear from you – post away.
