Oftentimes, it is not until we come to the end of ourselves that we can truly see the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. It is in His strength that we find everything we need to move forward.

It is in Him we find HOPE no matter what is taking place around us or within us. Christ is our constant. He is our Hope in the Hard.

What does it look like to have hope in hard things? What does it look like to cling to hope in a year that may or may not have yielded all that you wanted?

Take 15 minutes to pause and settle into this encouraging devotional message of hope from our dear friend, Leo Ayala. (Leo will be a general session speaker at CPC23!)

Devotional with Leo Ayala

Simple, authentic, and relational, Leo Ayala is a “wounded healer.” His ministry results from years of internal crisis and a life bathed with God’s grace.

After more than 20 years as a Children’s Pastor and lead pastor, he started struggling with anxiety disorder, burnout, and depression. Fueled by the losses, the suffering, and pain, today, he passionately serves with compassion as liaison pastor for Caminando Juntos; a program that looks for holistic well-being for Latino pastors, and as a coach at Kineo, a retreat center for wounded and weary leaders looking for healing and renewal in Naguabo, Puerto Rico. He is a Transforming Community Alumni (Ruth Haley Barton) and a Spiritual Formation student. He is currently writing his dissertation on the dark night of the soul and our spirituality during seasons of disorientation.
