Igniting Christmas Hope in the Midst of Hardship - with Sam Van Eman

We are blessed to have Sam Van Eman on for two episodes. Here, right before Christmas, Sam shares with Bob and Brendan ways we can ignite Christmas hope in the midst of hardship. How can hope be defined by adaptability so that our days are full of Christmas wonder? Sam sparks our imaginations as to how we can do things out of the ordinary for those around us.

Sam Van Eman is the author of Disruptive Discipleship: The Power of Breaking Routine to Kickstart Your Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2017). Sam helps people by creating disruptive experiences that are designed to jolt us and reorient us so that we can grow spiritually. He is a resource specialist for the CCO’s Experiential Designs (XD) team, where he creates transformational experiences for college students, professionals, and organizations. As a public speaker and facilitator, Sam has taught (and played) in barns and boardrooms, canyons, classrooms, and auditoriums.

How can we overcome the disconnect between our Sunday faith and the rest of our week?
Every week, join David Loughney and Dr. Bob Robinson as they discuss the joys and frustrations of reintegrating every aspect of life with their faith and interview thought leaders and practitioners who are doing it. Bob is in his 50s and David is in his 20s, so they offer an engaging dialogue from different generational vantage points.
If you desire insights into how to live an integrated Christian life, one in which you can better experience Jesus Christ and participate in what God’s doing in the world, this is the podcast for you.
