Hope for the Weary, preached by Next Gen Pastor Ryan Russell, speaks into seasons marked by confusion, disappointment, and exhaustion. Grounded in Isaiah 9:2, 6, Luke 1:78–79, and Psalm 130:5–6, this message shows how Scripture names our darkness honestly and reveals a God who steps toward us with light and promise.

Ryan shares from his own journey through a season of deep personal darkness—loss, brokenness, and the long road back—to illustrate how hope can begin quietly even when life feels shattered. His story becomes a window into the Advent truth that God keeps shining long after we’ve stopped looking.

Through Scripture and testimony, Hope for the Weary shows how the arrival of Jesus breaks into the places that feel stuck or overshadowed, bringing a hope strong enough for weary hearts to rise again.
