How do you find hope when life seems like a series of unfortunate events, including unexpected donkey attacks? In this heartfelt episode of Anchored by the Sword, Gina Fox sits down with repeat guest Scarlet Hiltibidal, who shares her journey through sadness, weariness, and finding God's presence amidst it all. Scarlet opens up about the whirlwind of changes over the past few years, from moving and family changes to dealing with the heartbreak of losing loved ones.
Yet, amidst these trials, she finds moments of unexpected joy and divine intervention. Scarlet discusses her new book, 'Hopeful-ish', which captures her reflections on grappling with life's adversities and clinging to faith. She speaks candidly about how even seasoned Christians can wrestle with hopelessness, yet still find solace in the promises of God. Her stories, infused with humour and honesty, include tales of attempted farming and being charged by a miniature donkey—offering both comic relief and profound lessons.
The episode explores the importance of spiritual disciplines and how they help us experience God's presence even when we feel weary. Scarlet emphasises that hope is not something we muster on our own; it's a gift from the Holy Spirit. Through her experiences, she encourages listeners to borrow faith from others when their own feels insufficient. This episode is a gentle reminder that while life may feel overwhelming at times, there is always hope and community to lean on.
How do you hold onto hope when the world feels heavy? Tune in for Scarlet's inspiring insights and stories that might just make you laugh and cry at the same time.
