38: How Do We Hold On To Hope In Times Of Crisis?

We have a new email address and we want to hear from you! If you have a question you'd love for us to discuss on the pod, please email us at [email protected]. How do you hold onto hope when everything feels like, or actually is, falling apart? Given the state of US politics and the global lurch to the political right, how, if at all, are you holding onto hope? In this episode, we begin with a conversation about the Roman Catholic conclave and share our thoughts about what we hope for in a new leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Then we discuss how neo-apocalyptic conservative theology reinforces a social and economic selfishness that is antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus. We end this episode discussing a progressive theology of hope and the practices we employ to cultivate hope. The Progressive Christians Podcast is a ministry of The Loft, a worship community of Westwood United Methodist Church.
