    102. How Hope Is Restored
    Jan 19 2026
    How Hope Is RestoredHope is not lost forever—even when it feels buried under disappointment, pain, or long seasons of waiting. In this episode, we talk about how hope is restored biblically and spiritually, why restoration is often a process, and how God gently rebuilds hope in the human heart.If you’ve been afraid to hope again, weary from unanswered prayers, or guarding your heart from disappointment, this episode will help you understand how God restores hope—layer by layer, rooted in truth, not circumstances.Why hope is often lost through pain, not failureHow God restores hope gently instead of abruptlyThe connection between hope, trust, and truthWhy waiting seasons are part of hope restorationHow God rebuilds hope one step at a timeKey Scriptures:Romans 15:13Psalm 42:5Lamentations 3:21–23Isaiah 40:31Proverbs 13:12Joel 2:25Hebrews 11:1Hope does not return because circumstances improve—hope is restored first, and then life begins to shift. God restores hope by healing our beliefs, re-establishing trust, and reminding us of truth. Waiting is not wasted time; it is often where hope is rebuilt and strengthened.If hope feels fragile or distant, that does not mean God has abandoned you. It means restoration is in progress.Where did you first lose hope—and what truth might God want to remind you of today?In Part 4 of the Hope Series, we’ll talk about how to protect hope and live hopeful even when circumstances do not change right away.Subscribe to the Reveal Podcast so you don’t miss future episodesShare this episode with someone who needs encouragementFree Bible study resources and updates available through the newsletter🔗 CONNECT & RESOURCESIf you love my content you can support the work here--here are several ways to support the work I do to help women. ☕ Support the podcast:⁠⁠ https://buymeacoffee.com/revealpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠🌿 Biblical coaching contact me at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paperbell.me/stephaniemcarter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.stephaniemcarter.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sign up and get the newsletter and free pdf teaching on The Fruit of the Spirit📱 Instagram: ⁠⁠stephaniemcarter.lifecoach⁠⁠Get Dr. Carter's books by clicking the links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Author Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://amazon.com/author/stephaniemcarter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Listening Prayer Journal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Book List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get on my email list and get this FREE DEVOTIONAL from me called The Fruit of the Spirit: 9-Day Interactive Devotional when you sign up at my website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.stephaniemcarter.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Music is created by Jonathyn M.

  • 101. Why We Lose Hope: The Quiet Erosion (Part 2 of 4 Series)

    101. Why We Lose Hope: The Quiet Erosion (Part 2 of 4 Series)
    Jan 12 2026
    People don’t usually wake up one day and decide to stop hoping. Losing hope doesn't happen that way. Hope is most often lost slowly and quietly—through long waiting, repeated disappointment, grief, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode, we talk about why hope erodes, why losing hope does not mean you lack faith, and what is often happening underneath discouragement and numbness.This is a compassionate, Scripture-grounded conversation for anyone who feels tired of expecting, afraid to hope again, or confused about where their hope went. Losing hope is not rebellion.It is often a weary heart trying to survive disappointment.God does not shame tired hearts.He restores them. 📖 KEY SCRIPTURESProverbs 13:12Lamentations 3:18–21Jeremiah 17:5–8Ephesians 2:12Psalm 69:3, 20🌿 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT:Why hope is usually eroded, not abandonedHow prolonged waiting quietly weakens the heartThe impact of repeated disappointment and lossWhy placing hope in outcomes instead of God makes hope fragileHow identity wounds affect our ability to hopeWhy unprocessed grief often shows up as numbnessHow shame and burnout suffocate hopeWhy losing hope does not mean you’ve failed spiritually🔗 CONNECT & RESOURCESIf you love my content you can support the work here--here are several ways to support the work I do to help women. ☕ Support the podcast:⁠ https://buymeacoffee.com/revealpodcast⁠⁠⁠🌿 Biblical coaching contact me at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paperbell.me/stephaniemcarter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.stephaniemcarter.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sign up and get the newsletter and free pdf teaching on The Fruit of the Spirit📱 Instagram: ⁠stephaniemcarter.lifecoach⁠Get Dr. Carter's books by clicking the links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Author Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://amazon.com/author/stephaniemcarter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Listening Prayer Journal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Book List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get on my email list and get this FREE DEVOTIONAL from me called The Fruit of the Spirit: 9-Day Interactive Devotional when you sign up at my website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.stephaniemcarter.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Music is created by Jonathyn M.

  • 100. What Hope Really Is (And What It Is Not) (Part 1 of 4 Series)

    100. What Hope Really Is (And What It Is Not) (Part 1 of 4 Series)
    Jan 5 2026
    As we step into a new year, many of us feel pressure to be hopeful—yet inside, we may feel tired, guarded, or unsure how to begin again. In this opening episode of the 4-part series called Anchoring Hope, we explore what hope really is according to Scripture—and what it is not.Biblical hope is not wishful thinking, positive vibes, or pretending things are okay. The Bible describes hope as an anchor for the soul—something that holds us steady even when storms don’t stop.If you’ve ever wondered why hope feels fragile, why excitement fades quickly or why you feel anchored one moment and drifting the next …this episode gently reframes hope as attachment, not emotion—and invites you to re-anchor your soul in God Himself.KEY SCRIPTURES MENTIONED· Hebrews 6:19· Romans 15:13· Psalm 130:5· Jeremiah 17:7· Lamentations 3:21–24WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE· The difference between cultural hope and biblical hope· Why hope is not a feeling—but an anchor· The Old Testament meaning of hope as a cord or rope· What happens when hope is attached to outcomes instead of God· How to recognize when hope has quietly drifted· Why fragile hope doesn’t mean weak faith· How God invites us to re-anchor, not performREFLECTION QUESTIONSTake time to reflect or journal after listening:What do I usually mean when I say “I hope things get better”?What has my hope been attached to recently?How do I respond emotionally when that thing feels uncertain?What would it look like to anchor my hope in God’s character rather than outcomes?Hope does not mean everything feels steady. Hope means you are tethered to something stronger than the storm. If hope feels fragile, it may not be missing—it may simply need to be re-anchored.
