What is hope? Christianity is filled with buzz words that we can easily take for granted or turn into catch phrases. In this episode the hosts discuss one of those words, hope. Hope can mean a lot of different things for different people. It can also feel like a concept that is slowly fading from view in the current world we live in.

Each host shares their current definition of hope. This leads to a short detour into a discussion on hope’s connection to the afterlife. Given the hosts' evangelical pasts this is an important elephant in the room to acknowledge before a fuller view of hope can be obtained. The conversation eventually shifts to some of the more crucial elements in obtaining hope. Wonder and gratitude quickly enter the mix as strong foundations for hope.

The episode ends with a new segment from the mind of Rajeev. The segment is called Buddy Bingo. Get to know the Irenicast hosts better by learning a few of their ticks and consistencies in personality and most used catch phrases. The process will 100 percent be worth it honey.
