Building a “Muscular Hope” with Rev. Vicky Hanjian

In a recent offering from Krista Tippett (On Being) called “Hope Portal,” she spoke about giving
ourselves permission not to be optimistic and how we might practice being fully present to the
stress and turmoil we are witnessing – – and how we might allow ourselves to do the inevitable
grieving that comes with so much collective loss. This Sunday’s sermon will look at the
relationship between lament and gratitude and the possibility of cultivating what Krista calls “a
muscular hope.”
