Join us on the Meet Hope podcast for this week's fun conversation with Kasey Cornforth, HOPE Kids Director! Ever wondered how you can connect emotions with spirituality for kids? Kasey introduces an innovative small group initiative inspired by the Inside Out movies called "Turning the Bible Inside Out." This creative approach helps children, especially third to fifth graders, navigate their feelings by making stories in scripture relevant to their young lives. We explore how understanding the complex emotions of these characters can provide children with a relatable framework for managing their own feelings, fostering a deeper connection with their faith. Our discussion highlights the importance of making church a welcoming space where kids can truly be themselves and parents can find solace in shared experiences. Tune in to discover how engaging activities can inspire community support and a sense of belonging.

Are you feeling the stress and tension of existing alongside others who think or feel differently than you right now? Join in as Pastor Jeff Bills shares insights from Andy Stanley's compelling book "Not In It To Win It." We confront the challenging reality of election seasons, where fear and anger often overshadow compassion and understanding within the church. Jeff emphasizes how crucial it is for faith communities to prioritize unity, humility, and love, mirroring the harmony Jesus envisioned. Our hope is that this episode brings you encouragement, especially in a season where we know it may feel harder to find.
