Hope is a verb: there’s two consistent things about biblical examples of when people feel hopeless, and what they do next, that are important to flesh out: Any time we’re faced with a seemingly hopeless situation, there’s movement and there’s memory. There’s action. There’s a choice made. You have to fight for hope, friend, because life doesn’t always make it easy.

Does Life Feel Like It's Too Late and Too Far?A few years ago, our granddaughter Scarlett started pre-school. At the end of her first day, Lisa (who Scarlett calls 'Missy') was FaceTime-ing with her to see how her day went. Lisa said, "Scarlett, tell Missy all about your first day of school."Scarlett had had a long day. She was very tired, and she wanted to go to sleep. She looked into the camera, held up her hand, and said, "No Missy.

Throwback to an Amazing Conversation with Dr. Daniel Amen!(Originally YST021, August 2014) Dr. Daniel Amen is a bestselling author, internationally renowned psychiatrist, and founder of the Amen Clinic. Dr. Amen was one of the first neuroscientists to realize that traditional psychiatric diagnostic testing was inadequate for many patients. He began using functional brain imaging to find out what was really happening inside people's minds, and his work has saved or improved literally thousands of people's lives. His books and his influence have impacted my life and practice, and he's an incredibly gracious and inspirational man. This is a great interview. Dr. Amen is so passionate, and his message is simple: your brain dictates almost everything about how you experience life. You can change it if you try; you're not stuck with the same old problems and behaviors you've always had. Change your brain, change your life.
