When Hope Feels Dead
Jul 19, 2026 • Aileen Mkandawire-Mogues
In week 3 of our series Rattles, Eileen takes us into one of the most famous passages in Scripture — Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37).
God asks Ezekiel a question he already knows the answer to: "Can these bones live?" It's a question for us too. Where in your life do things feel dry, dead, or beyond hope? A relationship, a diagnosis, a finances, a version of yourself you thought was gone for good?
Aileen unpacks what it means to speak God's word over impossible situations rather than just describing how things feel, and why God so often asks us to believe what's unreasonable rather than what's right in front of our eyes.
