I had the pleasure of talking story with Malia Shimabukuro, the Director of the Youth and Young Adult ministries at New Hope Manoa. Here’s what she had to say when I asked her, “What gives you hope for the next generation?” “Keeping Jesus at the center. The world is chaos, but our focus on Him brings hope. It's about your relationship with Jesus, not just church.” She’s right!! In times of global uncertainty, a profound sense of hope can be found by centering our focus on faith. True hope isn't derived from external circumstances or even institutional practices, but from a personal, thriving relationship with Jesus. This intimate connection provides an anchor amidst the chaos of the past, present, and future. By prioritizing this relationship, we cultivate a resilient hope that transcends the challenges of the world. #Faith #Hope #SpiritualGrowth #Inspiration #ChristianLiving #Manoa
