This sermon explores the topic of self-love. It asks us to think about how we talk to ourselves in the privacy of our own minds. In it, I share a bit about my own experience of painful self-judgement. I share how I was able to lower the volume on some of my damaging thought patterns, and I offer you a simple practice to transform your own mental habits of self-criticism (whatever form they come in). https://www.summercushman.com/selflove/

We humans are flawed creatures. We love imperfectly even when we’re trying. Which means… We better keep trying! This sermon explores three acts of love—attention, inclusion, and touch—and includes my favorite scripture from the New Testament. https://www.summercushman.com/love-and-attention/

Are we willing to move beyond our comfort zone in order to love the world better? This sermon is packed with big questions (about identity, individualism, and attachment) and filled with deeply practical ideas for how to move in the direction of love. https://www.summercushman.com/love-and-sacrifice/

Loving people we don't respect isn't something we can force. Learning to stand up to injustice from a place of love isn't something we can fake. This kind of love is hard. And it requires deep and consistent personal practice. https://www.summercushman.com/love-and-contempt/
