People are so fast to start a conversation off with a negative because the fastest way to make connections is through a common enemy. I find myself doing this sometimes too. It’s so popular to be negative, but negativity is ruining lives, because that’s all people can think about.

On today’s podcast, Tiffany and I are going to talk about why we need to resist the temptation to be negative and how to harness the power of hope through God to overcome the negativity.
