Is hope really a superpower? John Pavlovitz thinks so -- and explains why.

We live in an age of fear, divisiveness, and pessimism. With these traits having characterized our culture to such a woeful extent, what might folks do to not only find some peace of mind, but build a brighter future? This is the question which John Pavlovitz, a North Carolina minister who has come to be one of progressive Christianity's leading voices, seeks an answer for. His 2018 book, 'Hope and Other Superpowers: A Life-Affirming, Love-Defending, Butt-Kicking, World-Saving Manifesto,' found enormous popularity; resonating with the theological and secular communities alike. On this episode of 'Cotto/Gottfried,' Pavlovitz explains the finer points of this book and much more.
