When Hope Gets Heavy: A Soft Heart in Silent Seasons

If you’ve been praying, waiting, and feeling like heaven got quiet… this one is for you.
This episode is an honest conversation about the weight of hope — the kind that’s beautiful, but heavy… holy, but hard… present, but painful.
We talk about:
✨ what it means to keep a soft heart when God feels silent
✨ how hopelessness hides inside phrases like “it is what it is” and “protecting my peace”
✨ why Romans 5 gives us a map for hope that doesn’t tap out
✨ the difference between apathy and lament
✨ loving people without abandoning the hope God still has for them
✨ how to trust God in the long, quiet seasons of waiting
✨ why empty hands don’t mean empty faith

If your hope has been leaking, if you’ve grown tired of caring, or if you’ve started to shut down emotionally to protect yourself — I get it. You’re not broken. You’re not faithless. You’re just tired.
And tired hearts still matter to God.
Silent seasons still shape us.
And hope — even heavy hope — is still holy.
