Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Since 2015, some psychologists and sociologists have been studying what they call an “Epidemic of Hopelessness.” Jeremiah prophesied that God will “make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right in the land” (Jeremiah 33:14-18). This prophecy is given while Israel was in exile. We can have hope in the midst of gnarly trials and grievous depression because God is faithful to his Covenant and because we have a faithful high priest who understands our humanity.
