Episode 114: Reverend Jeremiah Wright

I've been sitting on this recording for some time. Long before Rev. Wright has become such a famous name in the media. So I thought that now would be a good time to release this episode, a copy of his famous sermon titled "The Audacity to Hope" (1990). I haven't released a sermon in a while, and this particular sermon as well as the pastor have become especially famous during this presidential election for very different reasons. It is a stirring speech describing the human condition and capacity to hope. In it he works in an explanation of the biblical story of Hannah. Listen and look at the picture (the image of the painting is the same painting that Rev. Wright refers to in his sermon), and hopefully you will be inspired to understand how important it is to hope in this life and in this world. No matter how bad things seem we can hope in God. Peace.
