A Father Weeps, A Child Believes, Hope Rises
Episode 2358
Friday, 23 January, 2026
Some moments don’t change the facts—they change how we face them. We return to May 2020, when a small business owner named Bill sat in a dark living room, weighed down by closed doors, maxed credit, and a future he couldn’t predict. Then his son came downstairs, wrapped small arms around his dad, and whispered a sentence that reset the room: “We just talked to Jesus and we know everything’s going to be alright.” From there, we walk through the real pressures small shop owners carried at the height of COVID: shuttered storefronts, uneven supplier responses, and the exhausting maze of emergency aid. We unpack the hard calls—banks that hit lending limits, creditors with little margin left, and the math that wouldn’t budge. And we explore why a child’s straightforward trust can cut through adult anxiety, not by denying reality but by reframing it. Faith becomes more than a slogan; it’s a working definition of resilience, the confidence to act before results arrive. Along the way, we bring Hebrews 11:1 into the present tense: confidence in what we hope for and evidence of what we cannot yet see. That lens doesn’t pay bills, but it can steady hands to make the next right move. You’ll hear how Bill chose to keep going—calling suppliers with concrete plans, reshaping his inventory, and asking mentors for strict guidance—while letting faith fuel discipline, not denial. If you’ve ever stared at a spreadsheet and felt your chest tighten, this story offers both grounding and lift: a practical path forward and a reminder that courage can grow in the dark.Listen for a blend of lived experience, spiritual clarity, and actionable steps for navigating financial strain, uncertainty, and family pressure. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a quiet word of hope today.
