Host Leilani welcomes listeners to the Hope Story podcast to celebrate the launch of My Hope Story Volume Three with contributing authors Stacey Gawthrop, Ericka Reid, Ramela Abbamontian, and Melanie Wamoff. The authors discuss what inspired them to join the collaboration, including overcoming fear of writing, gaining experience through a team process, and sharing vulnerable stories meant to encourage readers. Stacey shares a chapter rooted in trusting God when plans changed unexpectedly, framed by Ephesians 3:20 and learning the difference between hope and expectation. Melanie describes honestly documenting her daughter Lily’s metastatic cancer diagnosis and treatment and seeing God’s presence in daily details. Ramela shares a painful but freeing story of abandonment by her biological father and the hope of being chosen by God and loved by others. Ericka reflects on hope as trusting God’s process and believing He can bring others through hardships too, as the conversation highlights transformation symbolized by the book’s butterfly cover.
