Hope feels fragile when life is uncertain—but Scripture reminds us where our true stronghold lies. In this episode, Amanda Jenkins, lead creator of The Chosen’s traditional content, joins the podcast to share the heart behind the new Season 5 Bible Study, Jesus Is Our Stronghold.

Drawing from Zechariah 9, the triumphal entry of Jesus, and the shifting emotional ground faced by the disciples, Amanda explains how this study invites believers to anchor their hope in Christ—especially during seasons of suffering, chaos, and unanswered prayer.
