Faithful Resistance EP. 25 | Love at the Center: Coping With the News, Pain, and Hope

How do we stay informed without being consumed? How do we hold grief, anger, and fear without shutting down—or passing that pain on to others?In this replay of an earlier episode of Faithful Resistance, Rev. Wendy Williams explores spiritual resilience in overwhelming times: setting healthy boundaries with the news, honoring tears and anger as part of faithful living, and choosing to place love at the center of our lives and values.This conversation reflects on: • Healthy ways to engage the news without harming the spirit • Why tears and anger are not weaknesses—but part of faithful resistance • The wisdom that “pain that is not transformed is transmitted” • Centering something larger than ourselves—family, love, community, and shared humanity • Why love defies logic, economics, and fear • Finding teachers in poetry, neighbors, scripture, and everyday courageGrounded in Unitarian Universalist values, this episode reminds us that while the world can feel like it’s ending, we still have choices—about how we live, how we love, and what we center.
