The power of hope in the midst of uncertainty
Life is fast and demanding. Every day we face pressure, stress and the search for balance between work, health and inner peace. But what if the key to a better present lies in both knowing the past and understanding what can shape our future?
The final night of the Hope Lives series offers a stop that makes sense and brings peace.
In the first part, we will focus on sleep, the most natural and effective way of recovery. You'll learn how sleep affects immunity, mood and longevity, and how even small changes in your sleep pattern can transform your energy and mental well-being.
In part two, we will take a journey of hope by looking at the book of Revelation, the last part of the Bible. Although it is often considered difficult to understand, its message is clear: the world has a direction and a future that makes sense. Even in the midst of uncertainty, we can find a light that shows that with God we are never without hope.
For the first time in Prague, Mark and Ernestine Finley, renowned Christian speakers and authors who have shared their experiences in more than 100 countries around the world. Their talks combine modern scientific knowledge about health with timeless principles for finding inner peace and meaning.
Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Mark Finley is an internationally recognized speaker and author of dozens of books who has traveled to more than one hundred countries and spoken to millions of people. He openly addresses the questions everyone asks: Why is there so much suffering in the world? What does the future hold? How can we find inner peace?
As a student of history, he shows how ancient stories and prophecies help us understand today’s world and how Christian hope provides a firm foundation in times of uncertainty. His presentations are more than theory—they are an invitation to discover joy, peace, and trust that endure even in difficult times.
Ernestine is a lecturer on healthy living, an author, and an inspiring woman who, even at 79, ran a marathon. She shows that living a happy, healthy life is possible at any age.
She believes that both body and mind are gifts worth caring for. In her lectures, she shares simple, time-tested principles that work across generations — from exercise and sleep to the power of relationships and the joy of eating.
She combines the latest scientific knowledge with the wisdom of the world’s Blue Zones — areas where living past 100 is a way of life.
