Psychoanalyst Tina Tessina said “anyone who dares to hope runs the risk of disappointment and feelings of failure.” Indeed, during the coronavirus crisis we are seeing many leaders among church, state and economic sectors cowering in pessimism. They have become more comfortable with upholding negativity and fear. Why? Perhaps is this so, because they don’t want “to disappoint” or “appear arrogant” to their followers by projecting positive outcomes during so much uncertainty. But if our leaders cannot “dare to hope”, what sort of ripple effect does this have on our own courageous faith to persevere while trusting in God’s saving Providence? Virtuous leadership expert Alexandre Havard will join us live from Moscow to explain the how hope and courage are tightly interwoven and why they are two virtues that are needed more than ever.
