The Hope + Help Podcast offers biblical conversations about life's challenging problems. The show accomplishes this by offering a mix of interviews with seasoned biblical counseling professionals and ministry leaders on a variety of topics. The Hope + Help Podcast became a production of the Institute for Biblical Counseling & Discipleship in January 2020 and is hosted by author/writer Christine M. Chappell.
The Hope + Help Podcast is like a refreshing glass of spring water for your soul. Christine displays a rare blend of graciousness and discernment that helps her listeners with their real-life struggles, while also pointing them to the ultimate hope found only in Jesus Christ.

After taping an episode of the show, it became clear to me that Christine cares first about proclaiming the life-changing truth of Scripture, next about the good of her guests and her audience, and not at all about her own fame. Being interviewed on the Hope + Help Podcast is an opportunity to join Christine in her mission of service to the vulnerable and hurting in Christ's beloved church.
