Sometimes we hear well-meaning spiritual people use phrases like “just stay positive” or “everything happens for a reason.” But what if those ideas, while well-intentioned, keep us from facing the deeper truths of life?

This Sunday, we explore “Spiritual Bypassing,” or the tendency to use spiritual ideas to avoid the real work of healing, compassion, and growth.

Rev. Richard will draw on his last two messages and explore how spiritual intelligence invites us not to escape life, but to meet it with courage, awareness, wisdom, and love.
