What To Do When You Feel Like You Have No Hope ft Candice Benbow
Manage episode 406997585 series 2848719
In today's episode, we're diving deep into the essence of hope, faith, and the power of believing in something greater. We explore the significance of holding onto hope, even when it feels like you're the last "good sucker" out there. It's about reminding ourselves that we're not alone in striving for light, love, and positivity in the world.
We'll discuss:
- The importance of hope and belief in something greater than ourselves.
- How to cling to hope in our families, friendships, colleagues, and romantic relationships.
- The idea that we're not the only ones trying to make the world a better place.
- The power of borrowing hope from those around us when ours is running low.
- The role of the church in our lives and how it can be both a source of solace and struggle.
Candice Marie Benbow is a theologian, essayist, columnist, baker, and educator whose work gives voice to Black women’s shared experiences of faith, healing, and wholeness. Named by Sojourners as one of “10 Christian Women Shaping the Church in 2020,” she has written for Essence, Glamour, The Root, VICE, Shondaland, Madame Noire, and the Me Too Movement. Candice created the “Lemonade Syllabus” social media campaign, founded the media boutique Zion Hill Media Group, and, in memory of her mother, established The LouiseMarie Foundation to support HBCU nursing students and community mental health projects. A member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Candice holds degrees from Tennessee State University, North Carolina Central University, and Duke Divinity School.
