Hope in the Hard Times

How do you cope when life is overwhelming and your faith is deeply challenged? This course offers biblical insights and practical tools to strengthen your faith and sustain your hope in the hard times.

Topics covered include:

• Living hopefully in uncertain times
• Trusting God when we don't understand
• Rebuilding our lives after devastating loss
• Engaging with the doubts and questions suffering provokes
• Supporting others in messy situations without being overwhelmed.

This course will be presented by Peter Wilson, a leadership mentor to pastors, Christian educators and entrepreneurs. He has extensive pastoral experience and has also worked as an accountant, teacher and chaplain. Peter and his wife Sally are parents and grandparents as well as being long term foster parents. They also run a retreat ministry in rural south west Sydney. Peter is an avid photographer, writer and runner who also enjoys good coffee, action movies and deep conversations. His lived experience gives him much to share to help others sustain hope in the hard times of life.
