“How Do We Find Hope in Hard Times?” An Online Event for Facing Uncertainty
At this live 90-minute online gathering hosted by CAC staff member Drew Jackson, CAC Dean of Faculty Carmen Acevedo Butcher and guests Cole Arthur Riley and Jon Batiste will guide attendees through teachings and practices for finding hope amid personal loss, social unrest, and collective uncertainty.
Explore Our 2026 Daily Meditations Theme!
We’re thrilled to announce that our 2026 Daily Meditations theme is Good News for a Fractured World. In a world where we often face fear and injustice, what would it mean to participate in the world’s healing — rather than create more division? We’ll explore nuanced perspectives that address that question all year long!
We invite you to get on the Daily Meditations list to discover more about the Bible, mystics, justice, healing, and wholeness.
