If you could watch only one movie—watch The Matrix.
If you could listen to only one song—listen to Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For?
If you could read only one poem—read Emily Dickinson’s Hope is the Thing with Feathers.
What do all three have in common?
Hope.
Hope is the thread that runs through these stories, whispering that there is more to life than what we see. Hope persists, even against insurmountable odds. It lingers, waiting to be rekindled, ready to rise again.
Look closely, and you will find hope.
Even the most pessimistic person secretly hopes that things will turn around. Even though weeping may endure for a night, deep down, they know that joy comes in the morning.
But hope isn’t just something we passively wish for. It must be activated.
Loneliness, disconnection, purposelessness, and despair must not have the last word. Hope must win. And it will—despite how things may appear.
The world needs hope in action.
Galway needs it.
Our children need it.
Our children’s children need it.
And I believe the Church is the hope of the world.
More Churches, More Hope
When you multiply churches, you multiply hope.
New churches mean:
✔ Lives transformed.
✔ Marriages restored.
✔ Communities changed for good.
It takes different kinds of churches to reach different kinds of people.
And the truth is, new churches are the best at spreading hope. Studies show that new churches are more effective at reaching new people, drawing in those who might never have stepped foot inside a church.
This is why we are planting L15 Church in Galway.
And we’re not stopping there. We’re believing for more churches across Ireland in the years to come—each one igniting hope in new places, in new hearts.
The question isn’t why start a new church.
The question is—who will join us in bringing hope to Galway?
