Let God’s Word Change Your Life

Encouragement from Hope Darst

Hope Darst reminds us of the gift we have in God’s Word—an opportunity to plant truth, peace, and hope deep in our hearts.

“I want to encourage you to get in the Word of God.”

It’s easy to enjoy inspiring music, attend church, or tune into a podcast, but Hope reminds us that something deeper waits for you when you open the Bible for yourself.

Hope inspires, “It’s not enough just to show up at church or listen to podcasts or even listen to the incredible music that you hear on Family Life Radio. But the Word of God, when it is put into your own heart and your own mind, it builds a well of God’s Word that you can draw from at any moment, in any situation, at any point in the day.”

That well becomes your source of life—overflowing with truth, peace, and hope.

“And when you pull from it, you will get hope and life and peace and truth.”

Her encouragement is simple and strong. “Get in the Word. It’ll change your life.”

Isaiah 55:11 says, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (NIV).

Every time you open Scripture, it leaves a lasting impact on you. Let His Word be your steady source today—and every day.
