Faith vs. Hope: Unpacking True Belief with Bear N Lora Lee
Faith is not what you say. It's what you know to be true. It isn't a building you go to on Sunday. It's what you believe in your heart. Faith is knowing, not assuming or hoping.
Ever wondered if faith and hope are the same? In this episode of 'Path to Recovery', Bear N Lora Lee dive deep into the essence of faith, distinguishing it from mere hope. Faith isn't just a fleeting wish; it's a profound trust in oneself and a higher power. Bear starts by breaking down the difference between the two. While hope can comfort us in tough times, it lacks the solid foundation that faith provides.
Faith, as Bear explains, is rooted in an unwavering belief that what you do and believe will lead to the best outcomes. This isn't something you pick up from a textbook or social media post; it comes from deep within, from a place of absolute trust in yourself and God. Bear shares everyday examples of faith, from narrowly avoiding accidents to overcoming addiction, showing how faith can guide us through life's challenges.
He also touches on religious perspectives, noting that while some teachings get close, they often miss the mark on the absoluteness of true faith. The episode wraps up with a discussion on wisdom versus knowledge. Knowledge is something we have, but wisdom comes from sharing and applying that knowledge. With faith as our guide, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
If you're on a recovery journey or seeking inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights into embracing faith as a guiding force in your life.
