The Courage to Hear

from Hearts Open to the Word · host Rev. Dr. Charissa Clark Howe

Do you ever find yourself preferring a domesticated, predictable faith over one that pushes you out of your comfort zone? Why is it so terrifying to truly listen to people who are completely different from us?This Pentecost, Pastor Charissa challenges our tendency to stay in our safe silos and demand that others learn our "Christianese" to belong. We explore how the Holy Spirit breaks in to shatter the status quo, reminding us that true communion assumes difference, not uniformity.May 24, 2026 | Pentecost Sunday | Acts 2:1–21Watch the full worship service and experience the joyful reception of our new members on the Sixth Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel.
