Sometimes hope doesn’t disappear loudly. It fades quietly after disappointment, delay, and unanswered prayers.

In this episode of Crown & Clarity, we talk about what it means to hope again after life has taught you to play small, manage expectations, and protect your heart from being disappointed twice.

This conversation isn’t about hype or pretending pain didn’t happen. It’s about letting faith breathe life back into dreams you quietly buried.

If you’ve been surviving instead of expecting…

If you’ve been cautious instead of believing…

If you’ve stopped praying boldly because it hurt last time…

This episode is for you.
