Kelly Hall: Genuine Hope that Conquers Weariness of Soul

Have you ever felt weary while waiting for answered prayer?  When hard times come, we can get discouraged and hopeless.  If we stay discouraged long enough, it can breed a hard heart and resentment toward God.  Kelly Hall speaks with us about her journey of waiting on God and the lessons she learned.  Some of the keys that she shares are leaning in to God and getting curious.  When we keep our conversation with God open, there is room for growing and healing at the deepest levels of our soul.
Kelly hosts the Unshakable Hope podcast and is an author, Bible teacher, and speaker. She has a unique family story of raising four children, three with special needs, in the constantly challenging world of the Air Force followed by an unexpected journey into chronic illness and ongoing caregiving. She is intimately familiar with the ache of unanswered prayers, so her greatest joy is helping others discover the hope that holds us even when life shakes us. She lives in AZ and enjoys the beauty of the Sonoran Desert with her husband of 38 years, 2 adult daughters and a super smart service dog named Skylar.

Activating Faith for Healing and Wholeness

At some point, we all need healing in our lives.  Whether it is for our body because of an injury or illness, or our mind because of heartbreak or grief, or our soul because of unforgiveness or hopelessness, we desire healing and wholeness.  When we continue to walk around wounded and broken, the wounds can fester and the poison leaks out in our attitude and frequently in our treatment of others.  Sometimes we can go to a doctor or therapist and they can give us a remedy, but sometimes there is no remedy for what ails us in a pill or on a couch.  The ultimate Healer and Mighty Counselor is God Himself and He is not only able to heal us, He desires to give us an abundant life with only the best.  My word of the year is healing and I wanted to share what I have been learning so far on this journey. There’s no co-pay involved in listening in with me or sharing with a friend, and the rewards can be priceless.

What steals your joy?  There are many things in life which can threaten our joy from circumstances to other people to our own mindset.  Doris Swift shares what she has learned from John 15 about how to combat the joy stealers in our life. When we recognize what we are struggling with and then connect to the true vine of Jesus, we can have the fruit of joy in our lives despite whatever is going on in our lives.  True joy is found in surrendering to God's perfect plan for our lives and trusting Him in all circumstances.

The Power of Holding Hope and Heartache Together

You know what happens when you pray for patience? I learned that the same concept applies when you make HOPE your word of the year. Hope is still a postive expection and you need to place your hope in God, not people or circumstances. Instead of downloading hope into our heart, God gives us opportunities to cultivate hope in the middle of the heartache and messiness of life.

When the New Wears Off

What happens when the new wears off?  There is an allure and excitement that comes with something new, whether it is a new year, new relationship or new item. But the enthusiasm may fade as routines and challenges emerge or things change.  This cycle of newness can occur in various aspects of our life.  Fortunately, we can solace in the everlasting newness available in our relationship with Christ.  We can embrace the opportunity for ongoing renewal and growth in Him.
