Turning People Into Trees

It’s a commandment common across nearly every major spiritual tradition to “love our neighbor as ourselves,” but far less common is any practical instruction on how that’s even possible. Let’s face it: Some people are undeniably hard to love. Are we supposed to white-knuckle our way to love? Fake it ‘til we make it? In this service, we’ll explore how we can genuinely become the kind of people who truly love one another without condition.
