Our Journey to Hope

Written by: Dr. Dave Laton

We all have the potential to have our hope challenged by life events, or we know someone whose hope is currently being challenged.

I invite you to explore this critical topic with us and please, share this with others. Our goal is to strengthen our own hope while helping others discover, sustain, or regain hope.


Remember, no one walks alone.

  • Live Strong With Leila Washington
    Jun 30 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today, I have the honor of introducing you to a new friend and sister in Christ, Leila Washington.

    Leila and I share something that neither of us would have chosen, but now use to help others. We are both cancer survivors. We also share something much greater: a deep faith that reminds us hope is always stronger than fear.

    Today, Leila serves with the LiveStrong program through the Montgomery YMCA in Montgomery, Alabama. This program is about helping others regain strength, improve their health, and rediscover hope after cancer. Her story is one of perseverance, faith, and a heart for encouraging others who are walking a similar path.

    I think that like me, you'll find her journey to hope inspiring and encouraging.

  • Chris McCurley ~ Preaching Minister for the Walnut Street Church of Christ, Dixon, Tennessee

    Sometimes people are challenged to identify with others. But when you've been through something, or are experiencing it in the moment, there is a clearer pathway to connections.

    In this episode I am speaking with Chris McCurley. Chris is facing a challenge with cancer in real time. Some of what we speak about is how we can use these kinds of situations to reach out to others in ways we might not have been able to before.

    Chris is also a podcaster. His show is called, "Dear Church". It is available on most podcast outlets. He also has a FaceBook page where you can follow him as he shares his journey to hope.

  • When Grace Meets Failure
    Jun 16 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today we're looking at two kings, two failures, and two very different responses when confronted with sin. King Saul and King David both made serious mistakes. Both were confronted by God's prophet. Both faced consequences they could not undo.

    Yet one found a path back to hope, while the other drifted farther from God. Their stories are more than ancient history. They speak to anyone carrying regret, living with consequences, or wondering whether God can still bring good from a broken chapter of life.

    Join me as we explore what made the difference between Saul and David, and how their stories can help us find hope when we cannot change the past.
