This Sunday, we’ll begin our exploration of “perseverance.” We often think of perseverance as an individual quality or virtue.

We’ll explore a pivotal story from early Universalism and what it might teach us about change, luck, intention, and the times when all three show up at once.

We’ll explore this idea, and how we might make it come alive in our individual lives and … Continue reading Radical Hope
