More Than Optimism: How to Live with Unshakable Hope
Feat. Brian Greenfield
Catholic speaker Brian Greenfield joins Oscar to explore the raw, grace-filled reality of true hope—far deeper than mere optimism. Drawing on the image of childbirth, they unpack how God calls us to push through life’s trials toward holiness, even when comfort tempts us to stop short. Brian shares his powerful conversion story during Eucharistic adoration and offers practical wisdom for young people and parents to enter the back-to-school season with a mindset rooted in faith and perseverance.
Brian Greenfield is a Catholic speaker, evangelist, and the assistant principal for mission and formation at Jesuit High School of Tampa, FL.
