More and more of us look at our global ecological crisis, our pervasive political division, our intensifying economic inequality, and our deep-seated racial and religious bigotry…and we feel hope draining away. Brian McLaren is grappling with this growing cloud of doom as he seeks to bring “wisdom and courage to a world falling apart.” In this class, Brian will guide us in an exploration of motivations deeper than hope and practices of realistic resilience.

Topics We'll Cover:

How to understand the deepest roots of our multi-crisis
Facing the limitations of hope and seeking motivation beyond optimism
Exploring “the adaptive cycle” as a framework for resilience
Disentangling our future from the assumptions of our current civilization
Rediscovering a vein of wisdom in the biblical tradition
Learning to live with knowing and unknowing

This Class Includes:

One-night live class
Live Q&A session
Link to class recording
Downloadable class slides

For $12 month, you can get access to this class + much more in The Society of Normal People! SONP members will also get an exclusive Q&A session after the class along with a group discussion board within SONP.
