Message: “Episode 195 – Called to Hope” from Jennie Fletemeyer

Life is heavy. Relationships, health, finances, loneliness, parenting — the hard things pile up fast. But what if hope isn't about your circumstances changing? What if it's something deeper, something that can hold even when nothing else does? This week, Amy Drake sits down with Jennie Fletemeyer and Lori Wurth to recap Calvary Bible Church's Women's Retreat, where 200 women gathered in Estes Park for a weekend called Called to Hope. They walk through the retreat's four sessions — Rising Hope, Living Hope, Enduring Hope, and Rejoicing in Hope — and share what it looks like to exchange wishful thinking for a biblical hope rooted in the character and promises of Jesus Christ. They talk about what it really means to "cast" your cares on God (hint: it's more like a full-arm chuck than a gentle handoff), why sadness and hope aren't opposites, and how a room full of women singing together, taking communion, and yes — accidentally starting a conga line — can remind you that joy is still available, no matter what chapter you're living in. Whether you're in a hard season or just need a reminder of where to anchor your heart, this conversation is honest, warm, and full of hope. Theme passage: 1 Peter 1:3–5
