Recap: Do you feel like there’s no good options for our future? Is this political season making you feel hopeless? Chuck Colsen said, " Where is our hope? The hope that each of us have is not in who governs us or what laws are passed, or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people.” Jesus is building His kingdom and He is our hope.
