This is Hope. 
Hey everybody, my name is Taylor

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,480
McMahon and I started the Hope 
Mindfulness and Prayer app with 

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,720
my Co founders back in 2019. 
We built this app with one 

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,000
simple goal, to create a 
Christian meditation experience 

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,800
that felt both real and 
authentic. 

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,200
I wanted to make something that 
helped people slow down, find 

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,280
peace, and experience a 
connection with God. 

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Over the years, this company has
grown into a beautiful 

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
community. 
You've shared stories about how 

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,560
these meditations have helped 
you through anxiety and loss and

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,920
prayer, and those stories have 
meant the world to me. 

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,920
But the truth is that the 
meditation at Market has 

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,400
changed. 
We have been running at a loss 

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,800
for a long time, and we can't 
keep going the same way. 

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,360
So instead of closing shop, we 
are taking a new path. 

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,680
From now on, all of our 
meditations will be free. 

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,160
You can listen to them on our 
new podcast feed, which I'll 

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,960
link below, and you'll see QR 
codes on the screen that take 

19
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,200
you right to it. 
Over the next few weeks, we'll 

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960
be releasing everything in that 
podcast feed. 

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,520
After that, the Hope Phone app 
will officially close in January

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,040
of 2026. 
And I want to reiterate that all

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,000
of our Hope meditations will 
still be available on the 

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,080
podcast feed or on our 
meditation hub website, Hope 

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Mindfulness dot app. 
In addition to this, we also 

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000
plan on 
launchinganewsletter@hopemindfulness.com

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,080
to support your spiritual growth
in your meditation practice. 

28
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,800
We built this app as a service 
and as a gift, and our hope is 

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
that by releasing everything for
free, it continues to serve and 

30
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,000
bless our listeners who have 
supported us since the 

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,960
beginning. 
As we can, we also plan to 

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,160
refresh and expand our guided 
category meditations to make the

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360
experience more personal and 
meaningful. 

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,160
This isn't the end of hope, it's
a new beginning, and I want to 

35
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,120
personally thank you for being 
part of this journey and for 

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,360
helping keep hope alive. 
Thanks.
