Dennis Okholm: Practicing Patience to Cultivate Hope

We continue our series Advent Hope in Harsh Times this week by talking with another of our Canon Theologians, Rev. Dr. Dennis Okholm, professor of theology at Azusa Pacific University. Dennis shares some of the themes of a book he’s writing inspired by a Stanley Hauerwas comment that “hope must be schooled by patience.” Dennis shares practically on how to practice the virtue of patience to cultivate a deep Christian hope.
