Rediscovering Hope. How we lost it. How we get it back?

Richard Johnson Lecture

Leisa Aitken delivers CPX’s annual Richard Johnson Lecture for 2023

The future feels tenuous these days, uncertain … overwhelming, even. Hope might be scarce, but it’s not lost. At least not with Leisa Aitken is our guide. Leisa is a clinical psychologist with 25 years’ experience in her field and she’s just completed a PhD on Hope. For those feeling hopeful, and perhaps especially for those who are not, this is a great talk to hear – hope from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, and theology.
