About Hope is in the Middle
Hey! My name is Megan Blake and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a scripture and General Conference study that will help you experience Jesus Christ and grasp His hope. Faith is the beginning and love is at the end, but what is in the middle? Hope. Hope gives us security, grounding, and something to hold on to as we navigate this crazy life. Join me as we learn together how to cling to this kind of hope.
