(Wisdom Series Week 6)
“Hope is the magic carpet that transports us from the present moment into the realm of infinite possibilities.”
—H. Jackson Browne, Jr.
Can wisdom exist without hope?
It often seems these days as if hope can be a tough commodity by which to come…especially for populations made vulnerable by economic and political exploitation.
But what happens when even a pinpoint of love pierces a hopeless heart? What happens when we give away what gives us meaning so that others might experience it as well? Can wisdom be far behind?
This week at New Wineskins, we’ll continue our series on Wisdom with a conversation about hope as a transformational power in people’s lives and how sometimes even the smallest acts of love can provide someone with the hope they need to change everything.
This week’s discussion video from YouTube content creators Reflections of Life features South African artist Theo Krynauw illuminating the ways that sharing love plants seeds of hope that can blossom into transformed lives.
Please join us this Sunday, Oct 6, in the New Wineskins Virtual Theology Pub powered by Zoom as we discuss the ways love empowers hope and how hope can embody wisdom.
6:00pm ET: Happy Half-Hour (informal meet & greet time)
6:30pm ET: Presentation & conversation begin
