🎧 HOPE (Part 2): Are You Hoping... or Just Wishing? | The Wrong Words Podcast
“I hope everything works out.”
But is that really hope… or just a glorified wish?

In Part 2 of this soul-stirring exploration of hope, Oliver Marcelle and Luvon Dungee push even deeper into one of the most misunderstood, overused, and under-examined words we cling to—especially when life gets uncertain.

The revelations from Part 1 opened the door. This one kicks it wide open.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

• Why real hope demands action—and wishful thinking does not

• How confidence, expectation, and planning are inseparable from true hope

• Why hope is a living thing—always in motion, never passive

• The emotional danger of mistaking faith, wishes, and nostalgia for actual hope

• The bold question: “Do you hope because you’re prepared… or because you’re afraid to prepare?”

📚 We break down:

• The powerful weight of Hebrews 11:1 and why substance is the proof of hope

• How "starting from Z" might be the clearest way to walk in hope daily

• The slippery slope of transcendent and false hope—what's real and what's just rhetoric

• The difference between rational and spiritual hope, and why both must be grounded in truth

💥 Powerful moments include:

• Luvon’s mind-blowing metaphor: “If you don’t make a deposit into the account, you stay broke”

• Oliver’s confession: “The moment I can’t act like it’s already happening… I’ve already lost hope”

• A breakdown of how hope activates the highest parts of who you are

• The truth about why some of our “hope” is actually just a cover for our fear of loss

👥 What You’ll Walk Away With:

• A clearer lens to separate hope from wishful thinking

• A renewed commitment to align your actions with your expectations

• A challenge to take ownership of the things you say you “hope” for

• A deeper understanding of hope as a standard, not just a sentiment

📊 POLL QUESTION:
When you say “I hope,” what’s really behind it?

A) I’ve got a plan
B) I’m masking fear
C) I’m unsure how
D) Just a habit
