Message “Does Love Really Win?” Dr. Haley Feuerbacher
We’ve been told, “Love Wins,” but does it really? In the wake of the election, we deserve to ask and really contemplate this difficult question. In this message, we’ll explore what love really is, what love’s power really does, and what we are called to do, now, in this moment and the next, as we shed the false protections of spiritual bypassing to find something deeper, truer, better.
“Sometimes when things fall apart, well, that’s the big opportunity to change.”
~ Pema Chödrön
“This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Hope is not a license to relax.
Hope is only a reminder not to give up.”

“Everything will be all right in the end.
If it’s not all right, it is not yet the end.”
~ Richard Rohr in his new book The Universal Christ
