“It’s the Hope That Kills You” – Lessons from Ted Lasso

They say, “It’s the hope that kills you.” But Ted Lasso, and maybe the Gospel, would disagree. This week on The Pulpit & Porch, Robert finally gets his wish: Tony watched Ted Lasso. And not only did he love it, he found a sermon hiding inside a soccer (or football) match. From the locker room to the living room, we’re unpacking what hope really means, why it’s so hard to hold onto, how it shapes our faith, and why sometimes it hurts before it heals. Along the way, we talk about the difference between fragile hope and grounded hope, what we’ve learned from past guests like Jodi Ramey and Andrew Carrier, and how to keep hoping when life doesn’t play by the rules. Whether you’re a Ted Lasso superfan or just someone who needs a reminder that hope still wins, pull up a chair, grab a biscuit, and join us on the porch.
