Stay Amazed

With Rev. Stephen Shick

 

We live in uncertain and often frightening times. Wars, climate change, and our own fears and anxieties can make it hard to be positive. Staying amazed is a spiritual practice that can help lift your spirit and fill your heart with Love. On Sunday, October 20, Rev. Shick will share stories that have taught him the power of staying amazed. Rabbi Abraham Heschel, who lost many loved ones in the Holocaust, put it this way: “Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. … To be spiritual is to be amazed.”
