The Jesus Effect - Encounter Him, Experience Change
Hope That Doesn't Quit - The Jesus Effect On Despair
Have you ever felt like giving up? Like the weight of life is just too much and hope feels out of reach?
In this episode of The Jesus Effect, host Steve McLane speaks directly to the discouraged, the weary, and the ones barely holding on. Drawing from Romans 15:13 and the story of Elijah under the broom tree, Steve unpacks what it means to hold on to a hope that doesn’t quit — not because life gets easier, but because Jesus never lets go.
You’ll discover:
- What biblical hope really means (and what it’s not)
- Why Jesus is the anchor for your soul
- How to rebuild your hope when it’s been shattered
- Practical ways to keep believing when you feel broken
Whether you’re in a dark valley or walking beside someone who is, this message will remind you: the story isn’t over — and you’re not alone.
