The Bible calls us to rejoice in hope and be patient in tribulation (Romans 12:12)—but how can we live this out? The Relentless Hope Podcast shares vulnerable testimonies from the world’s most passionate Christian leaders who overcame extreme trials through God’s faithfulness.
Each episode, hosted by Steve Gatena, founder of Pray.com, gives hope a voice. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty and potential within every one of us. We are divinely created; deep down, we know that anything is possible. That’s why we must hold on to hope.
This podcast uncovers ways to cope with anxiety, heal broken relationships, and battle depression. You will get a close-up look into the experiences and lessons learned that made our guests incredibly influential leaders. Join us as we discover how they overcame vast obstacles and defeated the odds by turning tribulation into success. They’ll remind you that you’re not alone, guide you to lead with purpose, and leave a legacy of helping others.
Following each episode, listen to the summarized daily highlights hosted by Max Bard. These shortened episodes are a great way to keep encouragement in your day, even if you only have a few minutes.
