Episode Description: In a world filled with shifting news cycles, division, and heavy hearts, where do we truly anchor our hope? In this episode of Touching Hearts and Changing Lives, hosted by Pastor Otley Holmes and brought to you by Crystal Fountain Missionary Baptist Church, we look directly at the chaos around us through a biblical lens rather than a fleshly one.

Pastor Holmes delivers a timely topical message titled "Hope for Tomorrow," reminding us that while Christians face trials, grief, and even seasons of depression, we do not have to stay there. True transformation doesn't come from forcing outward regulations on others—it happens through an inward work of the Holy Spirit. Tune in to discover how to lock your hope in Jesus Christ and find daily peace in the ultimate promise that the former things of this world will one day pass away.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:


The Biblical Lens vs. The News: Why filter world events through Scripture is essential to protect your mind from despair and despondency.

A Continuous Salvation: A reminder that salvation isn’t stagnant—you were saved, you are being saved, and you will be saved as you endure this world.


The Promised Tomorrow: Unpacking the glorious reality awaiting believers when all pain, crying, and mourning are permanently wiped away.
