Your Hope Coach

Do you struggle with seeing God's presence in your life day-to-day? If you do, you've landed in the right place. So often, we see our lives as a series of random events when the reality, for Christians, is a well-planned journey. God's Holy Spirit is very much in our day-to-day. Our conversations will focus on recognizing God's grace and mercy. We'll talk about practical ways to build our trust in God by noticing His faithfulness. Welcome to Your Hope Coach Podcast — a few minutes of hope in a world that wants us to feel hopeless. I'm Carmen Horne, your host and your Hope Coach.

Joy Drops: A God Who Pays Attention | EP60

March 19, 2026 • Carmen Horne • Season 4 • Episode 60

0:00 | 3:15

When Carmen's mom was in her final days, she left her daughter with a simple charge: "Pay attention so you don't miss it." Carmen has been doing just that ever since.

In this episode, Carmen shares how a Sunday morning hymn became an unexpected reminder of her mother's love and God's faithfulness — and introduces the concept of joy drops: those small, intentional gifts from God that renew our hope and strengthen our souls.

Pulled from Nehemiah 8:10 — "the joy of the Lord is your strength" — this episode is a gentle reminder that God is paying attention to you personally in the midst of your messy and mundane everyday life.
