    Oct 13 2025

    In this episode of Open Heart Therapy, we explore the emotion of hate—what it is, why it’s so powerful, and how faith invites us to respond differently. We draw on insights from psychology and faith, reflecting on the call to love our enemies and practices of love, proximity, and empathy that can help us resist hate’s pull. Together, we ask what it means to move from distance toward connection and to keep our hearts open, even when it’s hard.
