The saying “Be kind, for everyone you know is fighting a hard battle” speaks to a universal quality of being human: all of us experience sorrow, stress, and challenging transitions in our lives. In the midst of hard, uncertain times, how can we find resilience, stability, and hope? This sermon, drawing on scripture, psychology, and mindfulness teachings, will consider the profound spiritual resources within each one of us. Ethan Loewi preaching.
