ISSUE No. 68 | April 2026
WELCOME
If you’re new to CULTIVARE we welcome you! CULTIVARE is a monthly field guide for life and faith, brought to you by TEND. Each month we explore a specific “field” – a topic or theme through which we seek to cultivate contemplation, engagement, and deeper understanding. Our guiding questions are:
What are you cultivating in your life?
What fruit do you want your life to bear?
Each issue of CULTIVARE is structured into three parts:
Cultivate: Examines a specific “Field” or facet of life and offers questions to unearth and challenge our held perspective; along with concise kernels of truth which we call “Seeds.”
Irrigate: Explores the ways we nurture our understanding, which varies from individual to individual. We offer six means of irrigation: Art, Poetry, Profile, Film, Essay, and Books.
Germinate: Encourages practical ways to engage in becoming more fruitful and free in our lives.
Our name, CULTIVARE, in Spanish means “I will cultivate.” We hope each issue of our field guide will encourage you to do just that – cultivate new thoughts, actions, faith, hope, and fruitful living. We invite you to dig in and DIG DEEP!
FIELD
For we are partners working together for God, and you are God's field.
(I Corinthians 3:9)
Our theme this month is HOPE. We hear the word “hope” quite a lot. But how deeply do we understand it?
For English speakers, the word “hope” presents us with a challenge. The English word “hope” connotes a sense of uncertainty while the Greek word translated in the Bible as “hope” (elpis/elpizo) emphasizes certainty. In the biblical word there is NO uncertainty. There is rather a trustworthy expectation of a good end based upon a sure foundation that whatever we wait for we do so with confidence.
Over 40 years ago I began a search for a deeper understanding of hope due to a diagnosis of advanced cancer. At the time I worked at a church and was surrounded by faithful believers who prayed for my healing and future. But the messages I received from the medical establishment did not fill me with a sense of hope. If I am honest, neither did the pollyannish optimism of some of the church members, despite their obvious love and care for me. I found myself embarking on a search for hope without a clear understanding of what it was and what it entailed.
Prior to my search I always associated hope with light. Back then hope was viewed as a perpetual sunrise over a darkened landscape. My focus then was on the rising sun, the flicker of light on the expansive horizon that signals the dawning of a new day. In my pre-search days hope was the flicker, the spark that grew and spread and glowed, unfurling light and lightness into a dark and weighty world. That was my preconceived image of hope.
My search changed all that. My search shifted my awareness to the pre-dawn darkness, to the gloomy, unlit, moonless, inky, jet-black night. It stops us cold, seemingly halts time, and positions us in a frozen state of night. In the all-enveloping darkness, we experience no movement, no warmth, no light, not even the promise of a flicker. We imagine ourselves in a prison cell with no windows, no door, no way out, wondering how we can possibly breathe and for how much longer. Perhaps you find yourself in such a place today.
If the opposite of hope is despair, then the words of author Walker Percy should serve as a fog horn of warning. In The Message in the Bottle, Percy wrote, The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. . . . To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
My search impressed upon me the reality that profound and prolonged darkness can thrust us out of the everydayness of our lives. It can force us to seek air, to seek warmth, to seek light, and to seek understanding. The first line of our questioning may consist of: Where am I? How did I get here? How am I going to get out? But invariably this soon leads to a second line of questioning: Who am I? What do I want? How shall I live?
I have found that authentic Christian hope, in contrast to the pollyannish kind, can help us answer these questions. This hope helps us to understand that there is nothing to fear in the darkness before dawn, as we grow in our certainty of the sunrise and the promises of a new day.
In this issue we feature an essay by Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel who entitled his Nobel Peace Prize lecture “Hope, Despair, and Memory.” We spotlight a profile of former US Senator Ben Sasse as he honestly and courageously battles a potentially life-ending diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer. We highlight the feature film The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind which tells the true story of William Kankwamba, as a young boy in Malawi who channeled his intelligence into building a windmill to power a water pump in order to solve his family’s and village’s devastating drought.
We pray this issue of Cultivare encourages you in your own search for hope, whatever circumstances you find yourself in. We pray you experience what Thomas Merton highlighted in his book No Man Is An Island when he wrote: For perfect hope is achieved on the brink of despair when, instead of falling over the edge, we find ourselves walking on the air. Hope is always just about to turn into despair, but never does so, for at the moment of supreme crisis God's power is suddenly made perfect in our infirmity.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13 NIV) (DG)
***
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. (Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV)
For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. (Job 14:7 NKJV)
We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you. (Psalm 33:20-22 NIV)
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:2-5 NIV).
Our friends, we want you to know the truth about those who have died, so that you will not be sad, as are those who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will take back with Jesus those who have died believing in him.
(I Thessalonians 4:13-14 GNT)

A handful of quotes to contemplate and cultivate into your life
Hope is passion for the possible. (Soren Kiekegaard)
Until a man experiences suffering, he cannot know what it means to hope. (Martin Luther)
Hope alone is to be called realistic, because it alone takes seriously the possibilities with which all reality is fraught. (Jürgen Moltmann)
Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. (Vaclav Havel)
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. (Anne Lamott)
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. (Desmond Tutu)
Genuine Christian hope, rooted in Jesus’s resurrection, is the hope for God’s renewal of all things, for his overcoming of corruption, decay, and death, for his filling of the whole cosmos with his love and grace, his power and glory. (N.T. Wright)
True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort. (Walter Anderson)
Lament without hope is merely anger. Hope without lament is a lie about the present reality. (James K.A. Smith)
Waiting is the hardest work of hope. (Lewis Smedes)
Hope in gospel faith is not just a vague feeling that things will work out, for it is evident that things will not just work out. Rather, hope is the conviction, against a great deal of data, that God is tenacious and persistent in overcoming the deathliness of the world, that God intends joy and peace. Christians find compelling evidence, in the story of Jesus, that Jesus, with great persistence and great vulnerability, everywhere he went, turned the enmity of society toward a new possibility, turned the sadness of the world toward joy, introduced a new regime where the dead are raised, the lost are found, and the displaced are brought home again. (Walter Brueggemann)
ART
The painting “Hope” by George Frederic Watts
By Shinook Kang
George Frederic Watts was a Victorian-era British Painter who created “Hope” in 1886: a solitary woman sunken on top a globe unable to see with eyes but still finding a way to clasp a lyre while strumming the last unbroken string. She does not seem concerned about how she will balance upon this world. Her singular focus on playing and listening seems to keep her from falling off her sphere. Watts painted two versions in 1886. This second version of “Hope” does not include the distant faint star that shines in the first painting. There is no visible reminder that hope still exists within this overwhelming sense of despair. How can she still hold on and play? Who will hear? Who will care?
Hoping for something or someone brings excitement and anticipation to the dreamer. It’s a desire that is alive. But when hope is unfulfilled and at times crushed by situations, what does one hold onto? How can one emerge from the feeling of hopelessness and despair that arises from hope deferred or the death of a dream? Perhaps that is why the painter removed the star. Perhaps the starless sky and the glaring blindfold were ways to remove the distractions of holding onto seen circumstances and feelings that deflate hope, contrasting the One who embodies hope. Perhaps it is an invitation to lean into remembering to keep one’s eyes upon the Jesus who can walk on water, the One who embodies hope versus the storm that surrounds.
Art has the power to take us on a journey. Watts himself had lost his adopted daughter’s one-year-old (his grandchild) only months prior to creating “Hope.” I cannot say exactly what he was feeling or thinking; however, as I sit with this painting boldly titled “Hope,” I cannot but feel and think. In the midst of pain, suffering, loss, and waiting, contrary to all that we see, hope still breathes. It resonates in the solitary string that sings ever so gently of a persisting hope against hope. It is the desperate cry of praise that connects us to a God who sees, knows, and loves us unconditionally. Her brave note connects us to the heart of God once again, for us to remember the only eternal hope that exists beyond our limitations and empowers us by the faithfulness of God.
In hope against hope Abraham believed that he would become a father of many nations, as he had been promised [by God]… But he did not doubt or waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and empowered by faith, giving glory to God, being fully convinced that God had the power to do what He had promised. (Romans 4:18,20 AMP)
Are we willing to sit in the shifts of perspective? Let us not be like Peter and fall into the waters but keep our eyes upon Jesus, our eternal hope. May we lean into and rest our heads upon the One we love.
POETRY
An Epilogue
By John Masefield
I have seen flowers come in stony places
And kind things done by men with ugly faces,
And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust, too.
An Old Story
By Tracy K. Smith
We were made to understand it would be
Terrible. Every small want, every niggling urge,
Every hate swollen to a kind of epic wind.
Livid, the land, and ravaged, like a rageful
Dream. The worst in us having taken over
And broken the rest utterly down.
A long age
Passed. When at last we knew how little
Would survive us—how little we had mended
Or built that was not now lost—something
Large and old awoke. And then our singing
Brought on a different manner of weather.
Then animals long believed gone crept down
From trees. We took new stock of one another.
We wept to be reminded of such color.
PROFILE
Ben Sasse
By Olivia Mather
On December 23, 2025, former U.S. Senator from Nebraska Ben Sasse announced that he had metastasized stage-four pancreatic cancer. From the standpoint of medicine, the situation is hopeless. As Sasse has explained in recent interviews, he doesn’t qualify for surgery due to the pervasiveness of the tumors and he has no expectations of living more than a few more months.The only hope for him to extend his life is an experimental treatment, which he and his wife have decided to pursue in hopes of giving him more time with his youngest child, a fourteen-year-old son. In Sasse’s words, he’s “gonna die.”
Yet Sasse is living in hope. Since his diagnosis, he’s leaned into a particular strength: talking. He’s talked publicly through interviews and a podcast he started this year. (You read that right: he started a podcast after his terminal diagnosis.) He said, “you can play a lot of basketball in the last 60 seconds.” Having the strength and clarity of mind to record a podcast during aggressive treatment is a feat on its own, no matter the topic. But it’s the “what” and “how” of his speech that is particularly hopeful.
As a Senator, Sasse was known for his candid communication style (“Washington is Hollywood for ugly people”). He’s been equally blunt since his diagnosis (“my torso is chockful of tumors”) to the point of gallows humor (“my wife thought we should name the podcast ‘Dead Man Talking’”). Some of us might chafe at what seems like insensitivity about a sensitive subject; others might suspect that he’s protecting himself with a wall of muscular words. In the context of his mission to redeem the time he has left, however, he’s acknowledging a reality that must be faced in order for his hope to be genuine. He’s not complaining or expressing pain; he’s living in a both/and situation, in the now-and-not-yet of the spiritual life. He knows both that he will die soon and that God will fulfill his promises of Heaven and redemption of all things.
Upon the bedrock of these two givens (his “death sentence” and God’s sovereignty), Sasse is at work building hope. He’s doing it indirectly by interviewing people he’s always wanted to talk to about life “lived with grit, gratitude, and joy.” On recent podcasts with comedian Conan O’Brien, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and actor Chris Pratt, Sasse and co-host Chris Stirewalt have discussed humor and politics, parenting, and whether America is experiencing a constitutional crisis. The conversations are honest, intellectual, and funny. Occasionally Sasse talks about hope itself, but mostly he does hoping by talking. The podcast is a product of his hope that God will one day make all things new and that it’s worth it, especially at the end of life, to learn more about how the good is intertwined with the hard parts. Hope must face the entire reality of everything about his life and see all of it – terminal cancer, Heaven, his youngest child being 14, God’s working in his life, God’s working in others–as true at the same time. This is what makes his hope, like Søren Kierkegaard’s “passion for the possible,” authentic.
The words of his December announcement–two days before Christmas–speak eloquently about hope as a given for him:
There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come.
Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son.
A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears.
Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet.

ESSAY
Hope, Despair, and Memory
By Elie Wiesel
For our Essay this month, we feature the following lecture that Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel gave in 1986. For those unfamiliar with him, Elie Wiesel was a Romanian-born-American writer, professor, and political activist. He authored 57 books, including Night (1960), which is based on his experiences as a Jewish prisoner at Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust. Wiesel was a professor of the humanities at Boston University, which created the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies in his honor. Born in 1928, Wiesel died in 2016.
Wiesel was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. On December 11, 1986 – the day following being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – Wiesel gave the following lecture to the crowd gathered to hear him speak. He titled his lecture “Hope, Despair, and Memory.” In this lecture, Wiesel tells us why memory and hope are so important. He also tells us why fear is so dangerous.

BOOKS
Each month we recommend a book (or two) focused on our theme
NON-FICTION
Surprised by Hope:
Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church
N.T. Wright
Theologian N.T. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation—and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection—the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for the kingdom of God in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Surprised by Hope unpacks the stunning, world-changing truth of Christian eschatology, revealing:
-
A New View of the Afterlife: Why the ultimate Christian hope is not about "going to heaven" when you die, but about a physical, glorious new body in God's renewed world.
-
The Bodily Resurrection: A magisterial defense of Jesus' literal resurrection as the foundation for a Christian's future hope and the start of God's new creation.
-
New Heavens and a New Earth: A detailed exploration of God's final plan, where heaven and earth are joined and the whole creation is redeemed, not abandoned.
-
The Mission of the Church: How a correct understanding of our future hope energizes our present work for justice and healing, showing that what we do now matters for eternity.
FICTION
Theo of Golden
Alex Levi
One spring morning, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden. He doesn't explain much about where he came from or why he's there. But when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person's story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.
A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is an unforgettable novel about the power of generosity, the importance of connection, and the quiet miracles that happen when we choose kindness and wonder.
CHILDRENS
Hope for the Flowers
Trina Paulus
It is hard to believe that Hope for the Flowers, by renowned ecologist, peace and environmental advocate, and organic food enthusiast, Trina Paulus, is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. Hope for the Flowers is a book that has transcended boundaries of all sorts and has become a favorite for many―from multiple generations.
A note from the author: “Somehow we each have to understand, that uncomfortable as it may feel, in some way you and I were meant for this time.” Regardless of the quotidian events that are swirling around us, some with the dubious ability to divide rather than unite―age, sex, class, religion, country, politics, the scourge of a present- and post-COVID world―we are grateful that Hope, and everything it stands for, was given to us as gift.
Over four million copies have been printed in English, with over twenty translations across the globe. Paulist Press invites you to join the celebration!

5. PRAYER
Our prayer this month comes from the Apostle Paul when he wrote the following prayer to the followers of Jesus found in Ephesians 1:15-23 (NIV).
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
ROOTED
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.
(Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV)
