From the desk of our spiritual director, Lenza Smith
Theme for August 2026
This month, the Center for Spiritual Living Greater Dayton explores how fear and anger become meaningful parts of our spiritual development. Rather than judging or suppressing these emotions, we learn to meet them consciously, listen for the truth beneath them, and choose how their energy will be expressed. Anger can reveal where change, justice, or healing is needed. Fear can sharpen our awareness, clarify what matters, and point toward the places where courage and growth are calling us forward.
Love dissolves all fear, casts out all doubt and sets the captive free.
As we bring fear and anger into the presence of love and spiritual awareness, they no longer have to control us. They can become energy for clarity, healing, and constructive change.
