Today's conversation with Naeem Fazal, author of "Tomorrow Needs You: Seeing Beauty When You Feel Hopeless," explores finding beauty and hope amid trauma and darkness, offering a powerful message of transformation for anyone feeling hopeless.

• Naeem shares his extraordinary testimony of encountering Jesus supernaturally after growing up Muslim in Kuwait.
• The concept that "yesterday has forgotten you" challenges us to reconcile rather than rehearse our past trauma.
• We can either live conserving the past or creating the future – only the future contains hope.
• Beauty serves as the solution to fear when we make something bigger in front of us than the fear inside us (Psalm 16:8).
• Perfect love casts out fear, showing that faith alone isn't the answer to overcoming our deepest anxieties (1 John 4).
• Creating beauty requires loving what you're creating, whether it's families, art, or relationships.
• God loves seeing us grow through all stages of development, even the messy and awkward parts.
• Expressing joy represents one of our most vulnerable acts, but is essential for healing.
• Like Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before him, we must put joy before us to endure our challenges.
